FACT: For your information and for trivia purpose or a conversation starter, DID YOU KNOW? if you took all the cookies at the takedown and stacked them in a pile, they would go into the outer space! That is actually not true, but what if!!??? It did SEEM like a lot of cookies, especially if you ate all thirty and also the free egg nog because in the holiday season you will be forced over and over to be deeply irresponsible at parties. January is always a time of regret and exercise but December is the best!

FACT: My (matt timms in case you don’t know me) birthday is december 29. !!!!!

FACT: Guys- the Bell House is awesome- but you already knew that. Get there for all the funnest shows. THANK YOU to Bulleit Bourbon for all the fun drinkz- and the brilliant prizes.
