Larry McDonough Quintet and Festivus and Other Twisted Holidays Returns to the Aster Café
Do you need a break from politics and maybe some family members? Are you tired of the same old holiday music?
Come to the Annual Performance of Festivus and Other Twisted Holidays!
Festivus was created by Seinfeld character Frank Costanza (played by Jerry Stiller) as an alternative holiday in response to the commercialization of Christmas. The tradition of Festivus begins with an aluminum pole. Frank cites its “very high strength-to-weight ratio” as appealing. During Festivus, the pole is displayed unadorned. Frank admits, “I find tinsel distracting.”
Festivus includes practices such as the “Airing of Grievances.” During the Festivus meal of meatloaf on a bed of lettuce, each person tells everyone else all the ways they have disappointed them over the past year. Frank begins by yelling, “I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you're going to hear about it!” Throughout the meal, Festivus participants label easily explainable events as “Festivus Miracles.” After the meal, “Feats of Strength” are held where family members wrestle the head of the household to the floor. Festivus concludes when the head of the household is pinned.
