FROSTALGIA
I'm Nick Frost. Sometimes I live in the past. But, I also sometimes live in the present. Frostalgia is a handy collection of things, in both past and present tense. The following may contain coarse language and occasional sideass. Viewer discretion is suggested.

In case anyone missed it, last night was Festivus.

Every year, my friend Dan and his family hold a gathering of their family and friends to celebrate the Seinfeldian holiday, now five years running.

Among the various Seinfeld-themed elements to the evening is the board where we air our grievances. In case you can’t quite make it out, mine is in the bottom left corner and reads, “Lucas Wagner and David Johnston for not shaving so that I can just win this damn ‘stache competition!”

We hold the feats of strength — except instead of Dan trying to pin his dad, it usually involves some form of Seinfeld knowledge testing. Collectively, Dan and I, along with our friends Sean and Joel (more commonly known as “The Furious Four”) won the second round of episode matching and walked away with a free movie ticket each.

Also, slightly out of frame, I randomly selected a milk frother in the secret re-gift exchange. I am going to froth the shit out of so many things now.

TOP-NINE THINGS OF 2009:

3) Mason Rack Band

Earlier this year, I packed into a van with my friends Sean and Dan on a random Saturday night to go watch our good friend Joel “Thunderfoot” Purkess perform with his latest musical outfit, the Mason Rack Band (a blues rock threesome headed up by raspy Australian Mason Rack). We drove up to a shady neighborhood pub in Morinville called Rednex, where we were greeted by barflies, truckers, and a small contingent of Mason Rack superfans. Nevertheless, the show was absolutely fantastic.

This particular video (taken at Lydia’s in Saskatoon) features the handsome beast that is Mr. Purkess doing what he does best — whaling on a drum kit. Without having actually studied the technical side of any professional drummers, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that I consider Joel to be world class at what he does. Honestly.

While you’re here, you should check out this video as well from the Kitchener Blues Festival — they’ve opened with this song on their most recent Canadian tour.

Also, if you’re the hot bargirl from Rednex and happen to be reading this, would you be able to get in contact with me? I’d like to see you naked sometime. Thanks.
