Seasons Greetings Slim People,


Happy New Year!


I start almost every one of these newsletters with a joke. They're what I affectionately call "groaners."


At the end of every year, I list them all. So here are the knee slappers from 2025.


I also included some wisecracks from 2024 and 2023. Just for yucks. Hopefully!


But before we dig into the groaners and moaners, let me remind you that on Tuesday, December 30th, Shea Welsh plays guitar with the Slim Man Band at Vicky's.

It's New Year's Eve Eve!


Even if you don't live near Indian Wells, Californ-Eye-Yay, you should pack up the mules and get those jackasses to the show. It's gonna be Slimsational.


And then spend the night at Slim's Shady Trailer Park so you can make it to the Larkspur on Wednesday for the...


Slim Man Chase Huna New Year's Eve Shindig!

We're doing a Double Ball Drop!


Double Ball Drop?


That's right.


On New Year's Eve, Chase and I will be playing Auld Lang Syne at 9 PM when the ball drops for all the East Coasters.


And then we'll do it again at midnight for the West Coasters.


Double Ball Drop!


We start at Larkspur at 8 PM on and go until after midnight.


Which is way past my bedtime.


Yes, I was born to be wild...


But only 'til about 9 PM.


All details on all gigs are on the slimman.com website.


And we've got fresh cookbooks in stock.


Take a stroll around, check out the gigs and the merch!

I had some leftover ham so I used that instead.


It was an American ham. Not an Italian ham--like me!
