This calendar was once again another community project featuring photos from a few of your fellow Weird Al fans who have managed to snag some sweet shots over the past year on the Straight Outta Lynwood tour. There’s so many great pictures out there that this just scratches the surface of what’s available, but we hope you enjoy it and display it proudly in your home, office, shack in the woods, or wherever you may need to be reminded of what month it is.

The new year is almost upon us! Why are you still reading this? Go buy it already!

If you are in the Hollywood area this weekend, you may want to wander over to the Steve Allen Theater for their holiday sing-a-long show. It promises to be fun and entertaining with some extra special guests.

The Steve Allen Theater and Courgette Records are proud to present actor/comedian Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, Le Show) and his wife, critically acclaimed singer/songwriter and humorist Judith Owen, in an evening of holiday music and mirth. The evening unites Christmas-lovers and Scrooges alike, in traditional and nontraditional holiday music, part performance, part sing-along. Both reverent and irreverent…a perfect kick-off to the holiday season featuring surprise special guests, including Jill Sobule and The Bobs!

Ok, so Harry Shearer would be cool to see, but so what? So WHAT?! So what if you knew that Al was scheduled to be one of those super secret special guests! That’s so what! Can you imagine seeing Al doing a sing-a-long with Harry Shearer live and on stage? Probably, but your imagination also probably sucks compared to seeing it live! What are you waiting for?! GO! GO! GO!

Tickets are available on the website for either the Friday or Saturday show, both at 8pm, for $25.
