11 Reasons To Attend The Midgetmen’s 11th Anniversorry
Every year the Midgetmen are allowed to throw a party in celebration of themselves. We’re not sure why, but it happens, and we’re stuck in what’s so obviously a vicious cycle until the band breaks up or we snuff out whoever they know in Austin that keeps giving them permission to do this thing. It’s ridiculous.
Anyway, since it’s, like, happening or whatever, I told the Midgetmen I’d attend if they could provide me 11 barely compelling reasons to do so. Surprisingly, they did. So that backfired. Shit.

6. Already saw “fun.” and “Why?” and now need to see “Cunto!” and “Easy, Tiger” to win “Band Name Punctuation Bingo” challenge.

8. You’re a condo developer in search of something to tear down.
9. You work at Red 7 and have to be there to serve us beer.
