Today is the first day of the best month of each and every year. That statement will divide most into two camps: those who agree with me and those who do not. The cool thing is those who disagree have to then divide themselves into 11 other possible months the call the best, whereas those of us who love October are united and quite certain of being correct. You think that’s not true? Very well, let me pose some questions:

1) Though Fall begins in September, when do you actually get a sense that its arrived? OCTOBER.

2) If you were in need of table-dancing, leg slapping, lederhosen-wearing, pretzel and schnitzel-eating good time, during what month would you congregate? OCTOBER.

3) If you were in Tulsa and wanted to get your fill of funnel cake, pineapple whip, cotton candy, and the skyride, what month would you accomplish such a feat? OCTOBER

4) If you wanna dress up in a costume and go out acting ridiculous or asking for candy and it be accepted by all authorities and by the public at large, it would be on the last day of what month? OCTOBER.

5) What month will see NYC trembling in fear as Aaron Bode arrives for a visit? OCTOBER

6)  What about Adam Berlin, when is he and his wrecking-ball self arriving? OCTOBER

7) What month are Guster and Broken Bells hanging out with me? OCTOBER

8) If you wanted to go to the best homecoming celebration in all the USA, you’d head Oklahoma State in which month? OCTOBER.

9) If you were me, the original Dumbledore Richard Harris, Jimmy Carter, Mary Poppins, Ghandi, Clive Owen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buster Keaton, Kate Winselt, Ray Kroc, Rachel McAdams, Thom Yorke, Yo-Yo Ma, Vladimir Putin, Jason Bourne, The Walrus,  Thelonious Monk, Wolverine, Jerry Rice, Paul Simon, Usher, e.e.

Those of us in the October-is-the-best-ever camp already know what’s fact and what’s fiction. This is just a formal invite to all of you who still believe otherwise to come partake in the celebration. Now gt out there and do your part cause after today there’s only thirty more chances for glory. Prost!
