Just Because

It’s the holidays. Things are crazy. The sound of a ticking clock sounds like a cannon. But do you think this little guy gives a shit about the line at the post office or the parking at the mall? Of course not. And neither should you.

Take a deep breath. Put on your comfiest socks. Eat a burrito. And know that Vermin on the Mount will return in 2014 with two great shows to celebrate Valentine’s Day
