Holy Holiday Season, it's November 15th!!! You know what that means: only 15 shopping days until the next BATS gig!! And then, one week later...another BATS show! That doesn't leave you much time to think about anything else, but we're sure you can work in a few other seasonal activities, like stuffing at least one turkey, hauling your tree out of the basement, baking cookies, booking airline tickets, fighting with your relatives, decorating your Yule Log, Polishing your Menorah, tossing down a few martinis before you head to the mall to buy Evening in Paris for Great-Aunt Sally, mending the moth holes in your Christmas sweater, and paying way too much for the new Torture Me Elmo. Call us crazy, but we think, in the midst of all that stressful, rum-soaked fruitcake madness, you'll need your Bats. Here's when and where to get your fix.
On Friday, December 1st, we'll be at the Thoroughbred Theatre in Midway, right there on Main Street. Showtime is 7:30, and tickets are a Scrooge-pleasing $15, which includes a two-set show, as well as coffee & dessert (did somebody say "Plum Pudding?") at intermission. Wine will be available by the glass and maybe beer, too. You'll need reservations through Quirk Cafe at (859) 230-1705 between 10 am & 8 pm. And if you want to have dinner at Quirk (delicious!), there is a pre-show seating at 5:30 for which you must also make a reservation. More info on the Quirk Web site, www.kygallery.com/quirk.
Those of you closer to Richmond may want to catch us there on Friday, December 8, at The Richmond Area Arts Council Performance Hall, 399 W. Water Street. Tickets for the 7:00 pm "Holiday Soiree Dinner and Concert" are on sale Monday through Friday at (859) 624-4242, or on RAAC's Web site, ww.artsinrichmond.org. Catered dinner and wine bar by Woody's at The Glyndon are included in the $14 ticket price! Last time we checked, menu choices like salmon, pork medallions, and the like were being bandied about. Designate a driver and come on down, y'all. (Exit 104 to Exit 90 is really only 14 miles on I-75.) Or book a room, pack the mistletoe, and party all night, just like you did after you went rockin' around the Christmas tree at the Christmas Party Hop. And to hell with Linda Gayle Headlock, who was crowned Miss Merry Christmas instead of you, we never liked her anyway, and now she's let herself go all to Pieces, that trashy ho ho ho!
But we digress...
The point is, we're looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in December. And gee, wouldn't a ticket to see The Bats make a wonderful Christmas-Slash-Hanukah present? Santa Baby says, "Oy, Rudolph, I wish I'd thought of that!"
Cheers!
