16 - Naked City - December 2014 - STRENGTH!

December - "STRENGTH" What does the word STRENGTH mean to you? The holiday season of Giving is now screaming out of the bag, the stores filled with red and green before the orange and black had even cleared out. Soon, you won’t be able to escape that fucking Drummer Boy song, the sound of sleigh bells pulling on your ears until you begin to bleed from the nostrils. Pointless pressure to spend will crush our poor fingers as we long for the bleak empty days of January when things will finally Still once more. This season is also full of seeing people we love most in the world, mistletoe, too much food and booze, nostalgia, and hoped-for moments of reflection on the year behind us. What will you Take? Nagging from your Great Aunt? Joy in childish things? Third helpings? Stay tuned to https://www.facebook.com/NCAtlanta to see when 2014's first show happens in January!
