urgent dispatch from the midwestern front.

only REAL MEN©®™ will come out to our show in the wintry weather of Madison, WI... err, or at leasts that's how it went when we were on our way up, braving the snow/ice/rain/sleet/ice/rinse, repeat, etc... But alas, we arrived at our destination to find no lights, no booker and some bored (but very kind) bartenders hanging out. No Show.

We moved on and write this from a hotel room, where, across the hall there is a party of Santas (+1 elf). One of the kind, jolly fellows held the door for some of the band, prompting a Shonde to remark "well, I guess I'll stop telling the rest of the Jews bad things about Santa". Laughter erupted and Santa is on our side.
