A Charlie Brown Christmas

Your a f-ing actor, act like one!

Blake Delong has turned out to be one hell of a thespian. He has just put the final touches on his professional website, so I thought I would throw it up here so you guys can check it out. The body of work that Blake has already done is pretty impressive. I was able to see him in Titus Andronicus a couple years ago, and he put on a great performance. It was also quite humorous because he had multiple make-out scenes with a woman twice his age... gross. Blake is finishing up his MFA at UT and will be done in May. He then will be headed to New York where he will be making his broadway premier in the musical CATS as the magical Mr. Mistoffelees.
Just kidding... Blake really isn't going to be in CATS, however that would tot. awesome.

Christmas is a special time of the year for giving.

David Cross hitting it out of the park

I am sure eveyone has seen what David Cross is parodying... if not, check it out here.

Well here you have it, the highly anticipated SCD Top 20 Albums of 2006. Actually, I don't guess anyone is really anticipating it, since I didn't do it last year... was I even running the blog last year at this time? Don't really remember. Enjoy the list, I'm gonna try and get this up before Pitchfork releases there top 50. You may not agree with my list, but it doesn't really matter what you think. Sarcasm too subtle? Hope not.

Stay Classy Da....enver

Thanks to Douglas Dent for sending this my way from the frigid, nether-region of Colorado. In Doug's email he also said that he ran into this restaurant and yelled at the guy behind the counter "Fuckin' love the sign man... fuck!" Then let out a "whooo!" and ran back out.

Finally done with the move!

Yes, you heard to it right -- the Stay Classy mothership has picked up and moved to a new location. After 4 days of packing and moving, we are done. Just put up the Dirk fathead decal and flipped on the Budweiser neon... Here's a exterior shot of the new place, pretty sweet...
and the new neighbor seems pretty nice, his name is Rick:
Zing!
