so last night i went over to jenni's to take part in the smith family holiday bash. everyone there was from jim's (jenni's dad) side of the family. three of jim's brothers were there. and oh my god, between jim, neil and tom (bob not so much), it's like having three of them in one room. oh my lord. and i thought that my family was crazy, but i've got nothing on jenni when it comes to craziness in my family. audrey, jenni and i watched the fast and the furious after people started to leave, and i still don't understand how vin diesel is considered a "good actor" but, whatever. anyway, i hope you had a happy happy holiday, and a happy new year to you coming up. and if you've paid your barnstormers dues and want to help finish the set for thoreau, then come on by the tryout theatre at nine a.m. tomorrow (monday the twenty-ninth) it will be rockin. there's very little actual construction, just facing and making it look sweet as hell. oh yeah. well kids, sweet dreams of ninja's beating the shit out of pirates. rock to the roll.
