Tribute To Consumerism Marks Arrival Of Yearly Festival Of Dread
In an unwelcome reminder that we have made our entrance into the arena of the worst part of the year, they have started to assemble the tents down in Union Square for the annual Holiday Market, which opens this Friday. There is no longer any way to pretend that it's not happening; we are now within the Holiday Zone. There are no prayers or entreaties that can forestall this grim acknowledgment. The best one can do is accelerate one's Holiday Drinking regimen and hope that one emerges bleary-eyed after New Year's with as incomplete a memory of this horrible span as possible. May God have mercy on our souls.
Union Square's absurdly crowded annual Holiday Market = "Abandon hope all ye who enter here"
I'd rather eat my own teeth than go near Union Square even on a normal day, so thanks for the heads up.
The horrors of shopping in person are why God gave us the internet. I haven't physically gone anywhere to buy a gift in years.
Of the many particular ways not to get it, this one takes the cake: If you still think the Eagles are a good band, in 2011, things probably aren't going to work out for you. I'm sorry, better luck next life.
Steely-Motherfuckin'-Dan!
Yes, I crossed my old man back in Oregon.
Perhaps the Oakland Police could help?
Mmm, peppermint soap time again.
Oh God, I just remembered what comes after the bleary-eyed emerging….
@jolie Get ready!
man, i need a drink.
@roboloki Sure, why the hell not.
Can you link to a previous Holiday Drinking regimen post? If not, could you write one? Thanks.
