Partied New Year’s eve with the Cheap Trick. A great band and hey, they even have all of their original members.

Must consume mass quantities of food — Beldar

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006


Yikes! Forget Borat, where’s that French guy Beldar Conehead when you need him. If you look good you can see a turkey behind all those containers of ??? yams, stuffing, gravy, chowder, etc and that’s just the top shelf of the fridge, more stuff on the other levels. Might have to sell some plates of food outside my apartment if not enough people come over to eat this stuff.
