First Annual Provincial Archive Christmas Party!

I caught myself wishing I could push a button on my phone and make Joanna Newsom music come out. 2 or 3 times last week I saw giant white-laminate block letters the size of my head appear in the air, spelling the lyrics, words floating in one at a time as she sang them. When I was half asleep this morning I think I grabbed and hugged some of the harp parts from Have One On Me. I think I need to spend more time interacting with actual people.

FIGHTS!

AMT threw a holiday-slash-wear-an-eyepatch party that was quite successful. Vince made a gingerbread colloseum, Pud made some mini-honey gladiators, and AMT made happiness for all.
