T Minus 9 Days

I was going to joke about pushing First Night back a few days, but I won't, because that's how rumors get started. Some media outlet will say we're pushing it back because of budget cuts and then the hotels will start calling and then the phone will start ringing off the hook so that poor Alene is ready to kill me, so I'm not going to do it, as funny as that would be. I'm just going to tell you that we are ready. The production people start working tomorrow, picking up the RV's that will keep the ice sculptors warm as they spend days on the Common carving their masterpieces. We have 6 sculptures this year, 1-2 more than usual, so make sure you see them all. 

Anyway, we're busy little elves here, and we'll work through Christmas Eve, take a little break to spend Christmas with our families, and then we're back at it bright and early Dec. 26. Make sure you're watching WBZ-TV newscasts this week, as they're running stories about some of our artists and performers this week. I'll be back soon with more scintillating information about the backstage antics of First Night Boston.
