I just heard on the radio today that none other than the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is coming to Pittsburgh on Friday, December 6.

Friday, December 6 is also the date of my last ever improv show.

Now, while it would be funny if this were a difficult decision for me, that's not the case. But I'm certainly not happy about missing TSO.

I'll be making up for it through my CD listening habits, though, so for anyone who's going to be around me this holiday season, be prepared to ROCK.

And for anyone who doesn't know me, that last statement was at least twice as earnest as you thought it was.
