Hoy Hoy!
Greetings from Casa dos Gatos. Hope the holidays find all of you well. Lots of cheer over here, thanx for asking. Kinda forgot that this one hadn’t been posted yet, so I thought I’d squeak it out before the ball drops.
Intimate crowd this evening. Luckily they’re a hygienic group and the proximity shouldn’t become an issue. The Hinckys have occupied the high ground in the Skyboxes, the Chainsaw Group shares the Row with the Pfarts and a few Unapfiliated Racers, and the Facial Shot Krewe are hanging back by the window. Throw a few more Unaffiliateds in and I believe we have a quorum. Your host this evening is the lovely Steve Schrader, behind the bar we have the Chicken Dinner Man himself, Josh, Thursday Night Shane is in the kitchen, and on the floor, SERVING US ALL, is Rhonda. Space Slash Holiday Crab Racing is the order of the day and there’s a motion on the floor. All in favor signify so by saying-

The Unaffiliateds run strong, taking three of the four semis. Chainsaw Sisters get three heats but can’t get to the Finals and the Hinckys grab the last Championship Point of the 2008 season. Congratulations to Facial Shot Racing, our 2008 Folkie’s Crab Racing League Champion. Second time for them.
So there you have it. Another year of Crabmania in the books. Hundreds of races, dozens of Evers, and millions (Yen) in prizes. The Crabs are back at Folk’s on the 7th of January (very nearly The Original Sarah’s birthday). Hope to see you there. Until then, he’s Sonny Starr.
