NYE with old friends
You could bring a few friendly voices into your home via the cutely titled Pants Optional NYE Jam, a concert live from the Hook and Ladder Theater in Minneapolis. The lineup includes Dave Simonett of Trampled By Turtles and Dead Man Winter, Lady Lark, Drag Queen Lip Sync Battle, The Mall (which has members of Solid Gold, Cecil Otter of Doomtree and Jacob Mullis of Fort Wilson Riot) and Your Smith (DJ set).
It ends with a countdown to 2021.

Rubber Chicken Theater To Provide Virtual Christmas Eve Laughs
This Christmas Eve at 7:00 p.m., they are presenting
Here We Come A-Quarantining, or, We’ll Be Home For Christmas, which promises to be a virtual Christmas caroling extravaganza.
According to producers, Here We Come A-Quarantining, or, We’ll Be Home For Christmas is a short, virtual production of original Christmas carol parodies taking on various subjects of the past year including spitting into test tubes at the DECC, Minnesota Republicans, and lots of other things we’d all like to dump into Lake Superior and call it a year.
The show is written and performed by Anna Vogt, Tate Haglund-Pagel, Jeremy Churchill, Minden Hultstrom, Anders Hultstrom, Quentin Roth, Nathan Payne, Chris Nollet, Greg J. Anderson, Cathy Podeszwa, Kaylee Matuszak, and Brian Matuszak. Linda Bray accompanies on piano, additional material written by Cheri Tesarek, and the show is magically edited by the magical Jadie Schwarzkopf.
Rubber Chicken Theater Goes Virtually Caroling
This year there is more than one thing happening on Christmas Eve. Santa comes and Rubber Chicken Theater will go caroling.
This time of year there is usually some kind of shenanigans being put on by the Rubber Chicken Theater. The production involves making fun of something local, national, or world worthy that happened this year. What is there to make fun of? Plenty, if you know the Rubber Chicken Theater.
The Production is called HERE WE COME A-QUARANTINING, OR, WE LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. The production will be virtual on Christmas Eve on the Rubber Chicken Theater s Facebook page. This year you can do as much drinking before, during, and after as you want because you will already be at home. (It might make more sense too!!)
