Look at How Much Fun We’re Having

Did you manage to miss the December Monthly Rumpus due to a prior engagement, a badly timed break-up, or the simple fact that you, like much of the world, don’t live in the Bay Area?

Or were you lucky enough to be in attendance, but ever since have been salivating at the thought of reliving the glory?

Either way, my friends, today is your lucky day. Thanks to the magic of photography you can feel like you’re at the December Monthly Rumpus right now!

Sometimes The Monthly Rumpus gets so special it sparkles.

... are for eating. Not only did this man get a tasty treat, but a woman told him "I feel like my underwear is being electrocuted." True story.

Dont worry mom, it was none of these girls.
We can not promise that awesome, beautiful, talented woman who drink beer will be at every Monthly Rumpus, but it is a safe bet.

It's also a safe bet that we will ask you for your email; but only to tell you about the next Monthly Rumpus.

Speaking of which, way to plug the site, team.

Thanks to Booksmith you can pick up your favorite readers' latest...

**

... and thanks to The Make-Out Room's bartenders you can drink.

A sidenote: The Believer art issue goes well with a slice of pepperoni.

You will certainly make friends.

No matter what, youll definitely smile.
And you'll definitely smile.

Happy Holidays!
