Look, we usually like to stick to the major urban areas: Boston, New York, Seattle. You know, places where the Jews live.

But somehow, our friends in Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad persuaded us to go on tour with them throughout Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. In the middle of winter. One night we’re playing in an opera house; another, we’re in a pizza parlor. Are there bagels in Boulder? Will they find our Mormon jokes funny in Utah?

For crying out loud, help us! If you have friends who live in these godforsaken areas, please forward this email to them.

Today, we got this from Metromix LA:

Good For The Jews—”Putting the Ha! in Hanukkah”
Echoplex – The Echo – 1154 Glendale Blvd. – Echo Park
December 25 : 8 p.m.

Though musical comedic duos aren’t exactly rare these days, we certainly appreciate the good ones. After hunting online for tracks by Good for the Jews, we’re pleased to say “They Tried to Kill Us. We Survived. Let’s Eat” has made its way as a sonic loop in our subconscious—You Tube it and you’ll see what we mean. Spend Christmas night at the Echoplex running up a bar tab as Rob Tannenbaum and David Fagin turn holiday and/or recession frowns upside down with their show on December 25.

It’s called “Goin’ Down To Boca,” and Rob and David recorded it in Hoboken, NJ with our skillful and patient friend Tom Beaujour, at his fine recording studio. As always, we’re open to your opinions, as long as they are gushing or positive.

As you’ll also see, we’ve announced the dates of our annual “Putting the Ha! in Hanukkah” tour, starting December 21, which extensive research tells us is the first night of Hanukkah.

We’re recently back from the Leeds International Jewish Performing Arts Festival*** where we played two soldout shows and, at the festival’s request, even added a third. Rob triumphed over jet lag; David ate the world’s greatest shwarma sandwich. Marc Salem, the mind-reader who did a Broadway show, caught one of our sets and told us how much he liked it. Can you guess what I’m thinking right now, Marc?

So right now, we’re making Big Plans. We’ll be in Houston in September, in Kansas City in November, and then our traditional Putting the Ha! in Hanukkah tour throughout December. For 2009, we’ve already booked shows in Providence and at the D.C. JCC.

***Couldn’t you have come up with a more catchy festival name, Leeds? Maybe “JewFest”? It’s probably not taken yet. Or even LeedsInt JewPerfArtsFest. Just something that would fit on a t-shirt.
