Dear Bomerica,
First of all, thanks to Maggie for her Bomerica Pride-filled comment on the last entry, and also for accidentally creating a game called, “Switch the word “bomerica” with the name of any number of company members, and this comment is still true.” Long may Matt Miller stand, tall and funny. For example. There are others. The director of this very Little Village show, and director of much else, Luke Hatton; he works as well. Heck, if it’s just my Dad and I standing in a room, we can throw my name in there. As long as Luke, Matt, or Lacy Katherine Campbell doesn’t walk in and ruin everything by being funnier and taller.
Well, in case anybody is worried, this Little Village show is shaping up to be quite the treat…...

You guys!
This is your last shot at seeing the TWG holiday show in all it’s sparkly glory before it gradually morphs into a non-holiday show.
This holiday season has witnessed the emergence of some new holiday classics:
Santa and Taco Bell!
The Time We Had a Snowball Fight!
A Girl That Wants to Eat Turkey But Cannot Reach!
And some beautiful classics e.g.
The Time I Ate a Christmas Ball
and
Monica’s Special Christmas Eve
Come for one last dose of holiday goodness, stay for that pose we strike at the end featuring all the major holiday traditions—- IN ONE TABLEAUX.
One tableaux, you guys!
The password for $2 off at the box office is “Rasputin”.
Here is the order of the plays:

Heeeelllllloooooo Ammmeeeerrrrrrriiiicccccccaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
All those exclamation points and bonus letters right there were me going basically crazy with power. With blog power. I should say up front that this is my first sweet blog EVER, on ANY blog. Whether about what I just cooked for dinner, or my wacky daily adventures riding the wacky CTA, or whatever random sentence my two year old just tried to say and messed up because he has flat out terrible language skills. (Note: I don’t have a two year old, but let’s not all sit here and try to pretend this doesn’t happen.)
The point is, I’m glad to be starting my blogging career with this, the first post from the LITTLE VILLAGE SHOW 20111111111111111!!!!! (Hmm. Welp. Turns out that doesn’t work as well with numbers.)
Also from now on, everybody here will be living not in “America,” but rather, “Bomerica.” So. It’s a lot like America, but has 53 states. The extra three being, “Hilarious State,” “Funny Land,” and “South Canada.” That last one is right up there on the border by North Dakota. Discover the Spirit!
We will, North Dakota’s tourism board slogan. We will. The Little Village spirit. Stay tuned Bomerica. If I do my job correctly, this blog should basically be like a hot gossip website for the next week. Or a shiny, shiny celebraty “rag.” So come on back to see who wears stuff better than each other, and maybe even find out who is just like us. I hope to get some paparazzi snaps of perhaps Emjoy Gavino or maybe Ricky Harris making a weird face while eating chips. (That’s just like what I do when I eat chips! I bet we would be awesome friends!)
Do I just pretend this is a letter to end this thing?
Love,
Brennan

TWG Weekly Update
People. For the 12/20 and 12/27 shows, we’re adding even more holiday themed stories to the run. Consider all stops officially pulled out.
And they’re classics, these new stories.
The Time I Ate A Christmas Ball has almost certainly been in every holiday show since it was penned and adapted during W.’s first term. It’s our ‘Free Bird’, It’s our ‘Who’s on First’. It’s our ‘The Day I Stuck My Head in a Barstool’.
The other classic joining the run is only slightly less well known. I’ve put it in each holiday show I’ve directed because I love it. Last year I made my wife put it in the show when she was directing, because I wanted to sing it.
It is, of course, Untitled (Oh My God, I Found My Sister’s Friend)—the beautiful new year’s song where all is right with the world just before the ball drops.
Before you go, here is a picture of The Ultimate Snowball Warrior, portrayed by Curtis Williams.
If you haven’t seen this piece (The Time We Had a Snowball Fight), you must.
On Dec. 20 OR Dec. 27 say “Solid Man” at the box office and you will get $2 off your ticket price.
Running order with links below!
