Ptown Mission: Talk to John Waters!!

I know my friends are having a BLAST in Ptown for Carnival - drinking, eating, drinking, carousing, dicking, docking and more drinking... but there's one mission I want them to accomplish... Talk to John Waters!!  Why?  Because he's coming to Burlington on December 10 to present a show called "A John Waters Christmas" - and we should be a part of it!

Mr. Waters has been spending his summers in Ptown since 1966(!) and credits those early summers for making him who he is today.  Here's a link to a great interview by Gerald Peary on JW's love afair with the cape's gayest port.  So, if he's been there all those years, Lucy Belle would be CRUSHED if he hadn't heard of her! 

Getting back to "A John Waters Christmas" - he produced a musical collection (album? cd? whatever you call them these days) of the same name and included some of his favorite seasonal songs:

1. Fat Daddy - Fat Daddy
2. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer - Tiny Tim
3. Christmas Time Is Coming (A Street Carol) - Stormy Weather
4. Happy Birthday Jesus - Little Cindy
5. Here Comes Fatty Claus - Rudolph & Gang
6. Little Mary Christmas - Roger Christian
7. I Wish You A Merry Christmas - Big Dee Irwin & Little Eva
8. Santa Don't Pass Me By - Jimmy Donley
9. Sleigh Ride - Alvin & The Chipmunks
10. Sleigh Bells, Reindeer And Snow
11. First Snowfall - The Coctails
12. Santa Claus Is A Black man - AKIM & The Teddy Vann Production Company

(Margaurite is already drooling over #12)

As for the live show, this is the blurb I found on the Flynn Center for Performing Arts (after MUCH digging and clicking):

Like a wayward Santa for the Christmas-obsessed, legendary filmmaker and raconteur John Waters (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Female Trouble) rides into town this December spreading yuletide cheer with his critically acclaimed one-man show. Waters’ rapid-fire monologue explores and explodes traditional archetypes as he shares his compulsive desire to give and receive bizarre gifts, a religious fanaticism for Santa Claus, and an unhealthy love of true-crime holiday horror stories. “The Pope of Trash” gives you a Joyeux Noël like no other.

"Critically acclaimed one-man show"?  I've google'd and binge'd and did all kinds of other searches and can't find where he's done or will be doing this show anywhere else.  We're special?!?! 

So, guys, if Lucy Belle isn't TOO demanding of your time, could you do this little favor for Amber?  Please?
