oh dear, I do hope U got UR holiday sweater on!

oh there is much to be said about the Portland Cello Project's Dec 5th concert, but first...
thoughts on which punk band would best adorn a holiday sweater?
a. the dead Kennedys
b. the violent femmes
c. the ramones
d. the sex pistols
e. the clash
i vote the ramones because they could have a line of ramones holiday sweaters on which each would have a different ramone {Dee Dee, Johnny, Joey, etc.} buy two get Johnny free!

Oh you, dear reader, would have been quite the stud if you had come dressed in a Johnny Rammone Holiday Sweater to Portland Cello Project's Dec 5th concert at the Aladdin. Everyone would have swooned over your festive frock. Many studs strutted their holiday sweater stuff at the PCP show for if you wore a holiday sweater you got a free ep from the merch people. the MC, Adam Shearer, even wore a Christmas-lighted sweater! The set list was just as spirited as Shearer's sparkling sweater...from a cover of "Mad World" by Tears for Fears to "Generosity" by savory local, Mirah featuring the full Flash Choir. (to see all fine music played visit PCP online) My personal favorite highlight of the evening was the audience participation. Witty and daring really! Throughout the show MC Shearer had the audience text to his phone what they would say if they really saw their mom kissing Santa Clause, then he'd red em. one text read, "mom, i don't want a Nintendo wii that bad!" but if i had to sum up the night in one statement I would second the comment from someones child who sat in front of me, "mom. mom! I see cellos, cellos everywhere!" That's right, cellos, cellos everywhere! and I would urge you to see cellos, cellos everywhere live. for more show dates and details visit PCP.

i like the disco version better, monique
