MY GOOD FRIENDS HELLO!

Happy Friday! Or as they say it in the States (where I am currently still residing) specifically on this day, the 27th of November: Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s “Turkey Day” today and it’s got me in the holiday spirit. We just finished watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, an annual tradition where giant balloons of Snoopy, Goku, the Pillsbury Doughboy, and Shrek (with a fetishistically large ass) all float down the streets of New York City while beneath them some Labubus dance to a lip-synced duet between Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw. All eras occur at once in the eternal now of the Thanksgiving parade! In between the Labubus, they had a statue of a green giant (a mascot for a green bean company), several high school marching bands absolutely SPRINTING down the street as they blasted “Happy (from Despicable Me 2)” through their horns, and a supposed viral sensation named “Mr. Fantasy” who seemed very high as he crawled seductively over the parade float in a way no other performer did. When I looked him up, he had 10k followers on youtube. That’s not a lot for a viral star! Muttnchop Piper, an older man from Kentucky I follow who reviews different pipe tobaccos at a glaaacial pace, has nearly 10x the amount of followers. And you don’t see him on any parade float! But he wouldn’t wanna be there anyway, he’d rather spend time with his family, smoking a pipe on the porch and playing his dulcimer as the low winter sun sets over the Cumberland plateau.

My friends, I apologize for the scattered introductory blast of this email! I’m just v. excited to talk to you again… but also I just downed a cup of eggnog and it set me soaring. A small bit of lore for me (Zach, your friendly Airhorn co-producer) is that I love eggnog. So much that when I was 7 years old I drank 2 pints of it and an entire smoked herring in one sitting while my parents weren’t watching, and I got so sick that I could not hold anything down for nearly a month, lost a 1/3 of my body weight, and was almost hospitalized. And the kicker is that while I can never eat smoked herring again, gotdam do I still love chugging eggnog!!

And just like eggnog, there’s another complex and rich holiday concoction that overwhelms your senses on so many simultaneous levels that the waves of pleasure can make you a bit nauseous. That’s right, it’s AIRHORN!!!!

Airhorn is next Friday, December 5th, at the Newtown Community Centre!

This is our Holiday special and it’s going to be a TREAT! We have Lily Catastrophe hosting for the first time! We have your much-loved cast of performers Ginge and Minge, Alayne Dick, Jak Darling, Anna Maclean, and Booth the Clown! AND!! We have first time special guests Callum Wagstaff and Oliver Pol!

I am not going to hype up this show too much, cos I hyped up Scarehorn a lot and then right after was struck by misfortunes that cancelled the show and stranded us in the USA for over a month as we went through a gauntlet of challenges. BUT! If you have not seen our special guests before, you are going to be DELIGHTED! Both their comedy, in their own unique way, give the same thrilling danger as that first cup of nog. It is madcap but well-crafted, just like our show. You will have a good time!

I am also working really hard to be at this Airhorn alongside DJ bbgun. I am saying this with 100% sincerity: we are coordinating daily with multiple agencies to try to fly home this week so that we don’t miss two Airhorns in a row. This has been what we call in the life game a ‘very hard month’, but I’m excited to start the next month with a beautiful show in front of a beautiful crowd made up of incredible people like you, the friendly newsletter reader and now Airhorn ticket buyer!

Buy your ticket today!

With good tidings,

ZACH!
