Tonight is the Northwest Film Forum’s annual Holiday Party (free, 7 pm), which was the subject of my very first column just one year ago:
Inside, our first stop was the eggnog contest. I was looking forward to voting on the eggnogs—participating in some good old-fashioned eggnog democracy. I was informed that King Eggnog had already been crowned, by a vote of one. A vote of Santa (this year, played by local film critic Lester Gray). Santa was the only one who got to vote in the eggnog contest? BULLSHIT. Thanks for disenfranchising me, fancy film people! I purchased a cup of the winning eggnog, which was frothy, creamy, and reportedly contained more eggs than all the other nogs.
Well guess what, nog dictators!? There’s a new sheriff in town, and his name’s Santa, and he’s ME (and he’s not really a sheriff, he’s really more of a bearded polar elf, and anyway, I’m actually a girl so whatever). Yes, I will be playing Santa at tonight’s NWFF Holiday Party. The results of the nog contest are in MY hands this year, and the rest of you can SUCK ON MY OMNIPOTENCE!
Apparently, as Santa, I am also obligated to cuddle with you and field your Christmas wishes. Or you can tell me why you hate me and I am terrible. Whatever makes you feel good! HO HO HO, Y’ALL!!
OMG I wish I lived in Seattle right now. I’ve always wanted to meet Lindy West, but Santa Lindy West? Thats even better.
I want a pony!
drunk santa is incredibly hot.
Judging from the picture, you have hairier arms and, uh, smaller omnipotences than I had imagined, Ms. West.
Thanks, but I’m saving my money so I can see the IMAX premiere of “The Day The Earth Stood Still” midnight at Southcenter.
i can’t make it tonight.. but i SO want a christmas cuddle
missing out on the Found Footage Festival? That’s a shock. Amazed you haven’t even mentioned it either.
@7:
Um, it’s our film lead this week.
Santa Lindy makes our hearts sing!
So, will you do Santacon too?
@5 Blasphemy.
Sweet Lord, I wish I could witness this.
Lindy, who makes the nog in the contest? And how do I get mine in next year’s contest?
