New Year's Eve off Lafayette Street
While this cartoon was being inked, the good news was reported that Polar Beverages would pick up the fireworks tab for First Night. Uncle Timmy and yours truly raise a diet birch beer--with Madame Rhubarb I.P.A. chaser--to the Crowleys for making New Year's literally sparkle. And bestest to you in 2010!

"Mommy! Santa's outside Cicero's!"
Reminder: stART at the Station is today from noon to 5 p.m. at Union Station. Be seeing you at the Marketplace on the second floor!
Bulletin: Nick's Bar and Restaurant, 124 Millbury St., the finest eatery and drinkery across all latitudes, will present a reprise of its Johnny Mercer Centennial Celebration, featuring Frank Racette, Bobby Gadoury, Dan Burke, Niki Luparelli, Geoff Oehling, Tom Spears, Trina Vargas and special guests, next Sunday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m. Having attended the initial Celebration Nov. 28, Bernadette and I heartily attest that the event was, to employ Duke Ellington's highest praise, beyond category. That initial event sold out fast, so reservations are strongly encouraged by calling (508) 753-4030.

...and a happy birthday to Pat!
Our chanteuse-in-training, Gloria Lanark, sings birthday greetings on our behalf today to our dear friend Patricia Watson. "Auntie Niki," whom Gloria is endeavoring to emulate sonically and visually, is the incomparable chanteuse Niki Luparelli. With all respect to Gloria, we side with Laurel--see and hear the genuine article together with the equally superlative Dan Burke and the Speakeasy Combo at Nick's, 124 Millbury St., Worcester. A visit to www.myspace.com/NicksWorcester will reward you with a video of Ms. L. plus the latest performance schedule.
