Why wait, when we have the miracle of technology to enable us to tell everyone instantaneously using a plethora of communications channels. Spread the greeting far and wide!

You can't not take this as a joke!
I hope everyone remembers the Festivus tradition we started last year: the official VCF holiday greeting is to shake someone's hand, look them in the eye, and say, "Go fuck yourself" with a smile.
So, in the spirit of Festivus, I hope everyone go fucks themselves this year.
I look forward to everyone getting here today, shaking my hand, and telling me to go fuck myself, too! It would mean so much to me.
Happy Festivus and safe travels (sincerely).
Go fuck yourselves, Evan

Festivus eve is concluded.
Hoping you all can stay safe and still manage to get here this weekend.
The original plan was to open tomorrow at noon. Scratch that! Show up in the morning if you want. Some of us will be here. If the gate is still locked when you arrive, then call me: 646-546-9999 <(646)%20546-9999>.

Speaking of snow, my in-laws are making rumblings about possibly not coming to watch the kids while I'm away, in which case I won't be able to make it because it's my wife's busy season. They haven't decided anything yet and probably won't until the morning, but I figure advance warning would probably be a good idea. I hope to see you all tomorrow!
