Hey 2012ers! We did it, we made it to the New Year. Why not start the year off with a little culture? Am I suggesting museums or ballet? Of course not. I’m not a madman. I’m talking DUMB culture. Y’know, laffs! The first three Monday nights in January, Mascot Wedding members will be performing at ColdTowne Theater and it all starts tonight.

“Why are the podcasts so backed up?” I know, I’m a monster. My problem with time management exists because I have a hard time saying no to fun projects. When Josh Krilov, the artistic director at ColdTowne Theater, offered Mascot Wedding a monthly live show to do whatever we wanted with, I had the hardest of times sayign no to that. You might say impossibly hard, because we said yes in a heartbeat. Maybe two or three. I’m not the fastest typist. For example, I started this paragraph three hours ago.

Episode 195: Oh no! Episode 195 has gone missing. What happened? Did the KOOP archiver corrupt the file? Was the show so terrible that the magic boys were forced to bury it? Did it even really exist? Did we create a fake show as part of a weird cover-up? Will it appear next time Mascot Wedding has a Membership Drive?
Only time will tell.
