Muffin XXXVI Forecast: Cool ... Tres Cool! (mais sans Coolius)

A few final words for folks brave enough to attend "Muff in the Ruff". Rest easy, Pope sez that POP's if not yet delivered are indeed on the way. In the past few days we've heard or gotten word from the Ricks (Banjo and Mando), King Jomo, Mr. Ocono Lodge, Dan and Jane, P. Pot and 2/3 Clams, Mz Nanceee, Dandy Gee (and the Beer Pong Boys), Senor Blanco & Smithy, the Derwoody Clan, Bean Man Ben, Bishop Joey... and the list goes on and on. Also, many regrets from those who are disposed elsewhere or perhaps are just BIG BABIES! In any case, hopefully some grass was cut and if not maybe there will be a weed whacker or 2 available to spruce up your camp site. Ed sez please beware of overhead branches when you pitch your tent. Some rather large ones came down this past year. So car pool if you can and be sure to pack your woolies. You know the drill, have a safe trip and see you "up" there.

Experts Expect Rapture To Have Little Impact On Muffin XXXVI Attendance

It may be a little less crowded around here after tomorrow if things go according to some folk's plans. Don't expect too many Muffineer's to be swept up in the event... so we're not scaling down our port-a-potty order one iota! Want to go to HEAVEN?... got news for you...You are as close to it as you are ever gonna get. So ignore these false prophets and get your car loaded up and ready for some real Rapture... the 36th coming of MEADOW MUFFIN! Thanks to everyone who posted RSVP's (its NOT TOO LATE to do so). Looks like we should beat the Muffin XXXIV attendance (was it 4 or 5?) by a long shot. Looking forward to a very EASY Muffin for a change. Hope to see you there!

Newly Discovered Volcano Threatens To Blow Away Nuthin Muffin

It has been reported in a recent USGS press release that a long forgotten and assumed dormant volcano in the region north east of Browns Valley CA is showing signs of new activity and unrest. Locals have reporting seeing signs of increasing pressure with small eruptions of smoke and ash emitted into the atmosphere. Some blame this activity on a failure to maintain farm equipment or large falling tree branches. The Muffin committee wants to assure all potential XXXVI Muffineers that this occurrence will "in no way" impede our ability to engage in Muffin type activity this year. As a precaution, Muffineers are requested to be prepared for raining brimstone and avoid generating loud noises and other acts of hammerheadedness in the vicinity of the cinder cone/trailer.

Muffin XXXVI Schedule (Tea Party Style)

OK, so there has been much chaos and confusion about what parts of Muffin will still be intact for this years event. Well, clearly we have had to eliminate the many "give-aways" that made Muffin so popular (and poor) in the past. So to give you an idea of what Muffin will be like this year, here is a proposed schedule of events.

Friday:

• "Mow Your Own" Campground Fun
• Port-A-Pot $$$ Round-Up
  
• BYOB Zombie-Tiki Meat & Greet (admission free, Pirates $5)

Saturday:

• Cook-Shack Hammerhead (less) Fest
  
• Beer Pong Slam Down (bring your own folding table)
  
• Open Mic I (that's one microphone, amplification optional)
• Muffin Drive-In (your head) Movies

Sunday:

• Championship Horseshoe Demonstration (sorry, Weazels Only)
• Pope's 3D Hayride Simulation (with horsecrap-like smells)
• Club Ouiselle Bavarian Wiener Feast (1 case of PBR FCFS)
  
• Battle of the Unplugged Bands (or persons)

So, if you are still reading this and want to reserve your spot at this years "Muffin-Without-Stuff-in", please RSVP by posting a comment to this post with your handle and a body count. You can also contact the usual suspects at the usual locations.

Muffin Committee Announces Austerity Program For 2011

Cough! Cough! .... Wow, its really dusty in here! Cough! Somebody OPEN A WINDOW! Hope this thing doesn't blow up when I fire it up!

Jeez ... Contrary to what that last post sez, that last Muffin must have really turned some folks off. It's like a ghost town around here. Maybe all those looser geezer hippies finally packed it in. Too bad, just when it looked like there might be a crop of young-un's around to carry the torch. Oh, well!

So I'm guessing your eye balls ended up here cause you are thinking that it sure would be great to enjoy a good old fashioned pull out all the stops mind blowing Muffin for a change. Well, the powers that be sent me out here to let you know what's going on (or not!). The story here is that the Muffin committee, in the spirit of these tough times, is announcing serious cut-backs to the extravagant and wasteful ways of Muffins past. I know, I know, Muffin has never been known for being fiscally responsible but in this new age when everyone but hedge fund managers are going broke something must be done to stop the hemorrhaging!

SO, cutting to the chase here... Cutbacks (and we really hate to do this) for Muffin XXXVI will include the following:

• No Flyer (or is it Flier)
• No T-Shirt
• No Tickets
• No Mow Down
• No Stage Setup
• No Drive In
• No Sound System
• No Band Recruitment
• No Videos
• No Bands (organized, anyway)
• No Unreal (amplified for sure)
• No Portable Pinball
• No Club Oiselle (or maybe without the Gold Room)
• No Hay Ride (well, maybe)

Basically this boils down to having a "Muffin with No Stuff-in".

Just imagine how much more fun I, I mean YOU can have without all those distractions!

Stay tuned (that is if you aren't completely bummed out by now) for more info...
