Friend of the blog Aidan is organizing this year’s Xmas Bash. This Bash is from the future (!), but you can watch it on Discord on
Saturday, December 14
7PM Eastern to midnight
https://discord.gg/BE8PhjrKSr
As usual, it’s going to be rotten Christmas specials and a bunch of other Christmas music, ads, and assorted garbage. I’ve seen what Aidan has planned for content, so this party is BYOBB (bring your own barf bag).
As usual, we’re fundraising for the Trevor Project. Skip the next haircut and donate using this link:

glad this is still running :)
Hi Casey. I had a close online friend way back in 1997 (who I kept sporadic contact with until ’07) named Philip J. Reed that I’m about 95% sure was the same person. I would greatly appreciate if you could email me so I can confirm with some details. Thank you in advance.
Just wanted to post a follow-up: I’ve since been able to confirm with 100% certainty that yes, this was the same Phil who was a dear friend to me long ago. I’m heartbroken. He was a brilliant, kind, and extremely funny person, who helped me immensely in my formative teen years with his wisdom and insight. Countless long chats over ICQ/AIM, from joking about dumb stuff, exchanging artwork (Guitarman forever), to deep conversations about our personal lives. He introduced me to so many shows and songs I’ll forever associate him with. We were supposed to meet in Florida at one point — I wish we could’ve made it work. The world is truly lesser for having lost him. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
