12 Bars 2010 – Two Week Warning!
This afternoon as I was dutifully sitting at home marking papers, I received the email that one waits all year for – my invitation to the 12 Bars of Christmas! Clearly, this was a reward for me being so responsible and staying home and marking papers all weekend, right? Of course, excitement about the impending 12 Bars distracted me from my marking and now it’s 7 p.m. and I still have 12 papers left to mark! But I digress. 12 Bars. So. Excited.
This year, instead of our usual $10/head ((er, $10 per liver)) donation to the Canadian Liver Foundation, our $10 per person charitable donations will go towards Paul’s Movember fundraiser. Now, this goes strictly against my refusal-to-support-the-growing-of-facial-hair-even-if-it-for-a-good-cause policy, but… but it’s the 12 Bars! I think maybe that is more of a “guideline” than a policy, really.
To remind you why I’m so excited, why don’t you peruse my blog postings on the 12 Bars of Christmases Past?
Man, I wish I lived somewhere near you – I could use a 12 bar tour!
Yeah, with a newborn, I bet you could!
Of course, the only way to get an invite to the exclusive 12 Bars Club is to hump a member of said club within the 24 hour period before the event. Seriously, 12 Bars got too popular with so many people showing up that it became unmanageable, so Paul & Erika institute the “no humpy, no bringy” rule a couple of years ago.
LOL! That’s the best rule EVER!!
I am so super excited too!
