One picture says 1,000 words, so I hung three. I'm still not sure that will be enough to explain why I'm so excited for the weekend.

Back in 2007, I joined a mysterious outfit called The Christmas Belles. Our mission: provide relief from the forced joy and hallmark sentiments that surround this time of year like hardened special forces. We were successful. And then, like the smart operatives we were, we went sleeper.

As we eased back into the mainstream, each of us found new pursuits. Some of us became prophets, others took up arms, and some drifted away.

But this year, the need was too great. We have re-grouped and assembled a set to decimate audiences as we sweep through the coming week towards Christmas. Our various dates are listed below, but it elides one very important one: our anniversary date at the very venue that birthed us.

The Belles will be joined by Hey Marseilles, Pillow Army, Yellow Hat Band, and The Seattle Elves. There is also a small matter of meat. Further information is available from me through usual channels.
