Only two days until the Imaginary Winter Holiday Spectacular{December 23 at Chop Suey}!!!

We have a lot of exciting stuff planned for the night. Performances by five of our favorite bands, amazingly robust raffle prize offerings, The Stranger‘s David Schmader as emcee… and one tradition that’s carried us through the last five years of Imaginary Spectaculars: Indie Rock Santa John Roderick.

Long Winters’ sweetness J. Rod will be in the house from 8p-11p with the amazingly talented Laura Musselman, who will be on hand to take your photo as you whisper your wishlist in his ear. The photos are free and we’ll have them on the imaginary flickr page available for you to download print-ready photos for next year’s holiday card.

Please come join us for an amazing night of fun with:

The Redwood Plan
Wallpaper
the Nightgowns
Skeletons with Flesh on Them
The Special Places

And fabulous raffle prizes thanks to:

Cupcake Royale – Our friends at Cupcake Royale have donated 12 cupcake cards! Have you tried this month’s special Figgy Pudding flavor? I sampled it last week and it brought me to my knees! Chocolately, creamy, buttery, oh my.

Easy Street Records – Win one of two Easy Street Records prize packs which include a sexy Easy Street hoodie, a pint glass and a $20 gift certificate for you pick up anything you want from the store!

Barsuk Records – Barsuk went through their closet and cleaned it out for us. For one lucky winner we’ve got a copy of each of Barsuk’s 2009 releases and a fashionable, rugged Barsuk canvas bag.

Gainsbourg – A generous gift certificate to Gainsbourg in Greenwood that should just about cover one or more nights of sipping their fine mixed cocktails and snacking on their fancy french cheeses with your most stylish friends.

Doors are at 8p — we hope to see you there!!!
