12/1 Largo Show — RESCHEDULED to 12/4

Due to loss of power and severe weather forecasts, tonight’s planned “Wil Wheaton vs. Paul and Storm” show at Largo in Los Angeles has been RESCHEDULED for Sunday, December 4 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available at the Largo website.

All tickets for tonight’s show will be honored for the Sunday show. If you have a ticket for tonight’s show and cannot attend the rescheduled show, full refunds will be granted.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and hopefully will see you Sunday night!.

New Song: “Thanksgiving”

What did you say? An actual new original song from Paul and Storm? Is it the End Times?

Nope; it’s just Thanksgiving. (For those of you outside America, Thanksgiving is a US holiday invented by the Cranberry Sauce lobby) It started out as a heartfelt attempt to write a song about the things we are thankful for, and then evolved into…well, let’s just say it took a bit of a turn.

Special thanks to Aubrey Webber from The Doubleclicks for her fine doleful cello work.

Listen below, and buy it in our store.

Happy Imminent Onslaught of Holidays, everyone!

Way-Too-Early Christmas MonsterIt’s a tradition!

Sadly, the decorations actually started weeks ago. But here’s a freebie from the back catalog to ease your pain…

The Way-Too-Early Christmas Song (Right-click and choose “Save file as…” or however the heck you do it on your computer)
