…and I just realized I never posted about this… Well, it was MAGICAL. Nothing else could describe it. PBR proudly sponsored, Redbull was reluctantly involved, Rock The Cause helped out, and, of course, Santa Clause came as well. Special thanks to Mike Minehart for taking lots of great photos! I will let pictures and video tell the tale…

Santa was there all night to let people sit on his lap
Which no doubt was worse than he expected when I described the job to him...
Meanwhile, I had just sat down to read some old fashioned Christmas stories, when I noticed that I had guest!
Once again, Pat O'Brien's help we needed to help teach everyone, especially one special puppet, but the Christmas Spirit!
There were lots of other musicians who felt inclined to get up and help us. The is The Color Pharmacy.

Ok, so my last blog was about Priscilla and I getting attacked by bears in South Dakota- AND LOVING IT! …that was about six months ago. …or eight. And, it seems as though I’ve gotten pretty bad at updating this blog. I promise to try and do better… but, in the mean time, he’s what I’ve done the last- I don’t know, year or so.
Green Room Music Source Christmas party- I'm telling a story, and Priscilla doesn't buy it. ...That or she's realizing what crappy job I did trimming my sideburns...
In September we went down to Winona for the fifth annual Zombie Pub Crawl. Unlike some more normal cities zombie crawls, in Winona you get a good feeling for what a real zombie attack would look like. People stop traffic, climb on cars, projectile vomit all over, and even chase unsuspecting college kids who don’t know what’s going on. One high schooler tried to start a fight when his daddy’s Chrysler 300 got a little bit of puke and blood on it… what a wuss. The only zombie he attacked was a girl, and his opening line was, ‘you can’t hit me, I’m a minor.’ Then he promptly tried to strangle a girl zombie before the rest of the angry mob of drunken undead gently removed him and told him to go home. This boy will be a huge douche bag one day…

Check the whole in the knee... wicked!
The toughest 17 year old in the world!
Also, Priscilla launched Pirk, a soap and beauty company. All natural, organic when possible, soap and face scrubs and bath bubbly salt junk, all that sort of crap. People have been liking it so far!
Priscilla showing off all her soap flavors- which, as it turns out, are not for eating...
In October, Maudlin and our agency Green Room Music Source, went to New York City again for the CMJ music festival. I was very disappointed by the fact that we didn’t steal any mannequin body parts this time. We did eat a lot of food, and get a better understanding of how the Russian Mafia operates.
On the way to NYC we stopped in Indianapolis to see their war monument downtown... These bears commemorate the great bear insurgency of 1849

Then, in November, Maudlin welcomed a new band member into our wacky fold. You may remember Nick from last years St. Patrick’s Day adventure.
Nick proving that he fits in with the gang...
December was a time for holiday magic! Maudlin hosted our second, kind of annual ‘The Worst Christmas Pageant Ever’ at the Hexagon in Minneapolis. Discribing this event isn’t as much fun and just listening…

Speshul K singing a touching rendition of his song, "The Bitch Who Stole Christmas"
"Daddy, Please don't get drunk at Christmas" You could feel John Denver smiling down on them as they sang
And who could forget Pat's duet with a puppet. Yes, Scritchy the Cat showed up for this one too.
Here I am with Barb trying hard to read my lines...
Priscilla ...out dorking everyone
This is a recycled piece of our totaled Ford Focus...
January was cold. We don’t do anything in January here because it’s just too cold. When the New year is over we turn in to primordial cave people. …We also make ice sculptures though.
I am king of all the people dumb enough to be outside when it's this cold
This is King Tut
February has Valentines day in it… Weak. I got Priscilla a pan for Valentines day. Yup, a nice pan. I thought this was probably not the greatest gift I’d ever come up with for Priscilla. However, after seeing her reaction to getting a very nice pan, I’ve decided that she only gets pans for gifts from now on. That’s your relationship advice for the year- Pans, chicks dig them. Or, at least, Priscilla does…
More exciting than the new pan was the new amp we bought for P
That’s about it… Oh, and George Clooney, STOP making movies. Please. The glory days or over my friend. Speaking of people who should stop doing what they do, I found this website recently. What a beautiful charity! www.killlilwayne.org Hopefully someone will make a similar site for Weezer soon. They must be stopped!
Until next time…
