Happy Holidays!

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all your support this last year. I love you and I wish you all the best holiday season and New Years ever!

I’m hard at work on my new album with amazing artists like Amanda Palmer, Jill Sobule, Susie Suh, Garrison Starr, Jon Brion, Grant Lee Phillips, Kaki King, Tegan and Sara, and Patty Griffin. Yeah – that’s right – Patty Griffin. I’m trying to act all casual about it like it isn’t a big deal, but of course it is the biggest deal. It is coming together beautifully and if you are around LA you should totally check out Fingerbang at Largo in January and February. It is going to be all the way live.

I am also planning on spending the whole new year fighting to overturn Prop 8. Fuck Rick Warren. Seriously.

Love you guys!!!!

Margaret

  1. Hey Margaret!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    I hope you have an amazing time this last 2 weeks of 2008, and I hope we see a lot more from you this 2009!

    I love your comedies but I have to see them all in DVD since Im from Costa Rica so I can’t go see you perform since I don’t live in USA.

    I wish I could have gone to one of your shows from your new Beutiful Tour, please release a DVD of it so I can see how amazing, funny and talented you are once again! 😀

    And Thank You SO MUCH for fighting for GAY RIGHTS (WOOHOO!!!)! I wish people could understand we ARE HUMAN BEINGS just LIKE THEM and I even think we are MORE HUMAN than those homophobics FULL OF HATE ew… I wish we could live in a society with peace and harmony, when everyone is going to learn to be A REAL HUMAN? I mean with TRUTH HUMANITY AND LOVE FOR EVERYONE! But yeah thanks a lot for everything Margaret, you are my hero in SO MANY WAYS since you make me laugh when im sad, I just see one of your DVDs of comedy when Im very sad and you put a HUGE SMILE on me face 😀 and you also make me feel proud and happy of being gay because we gays see the world so different and we see the homophobia and hate so we want to change it with peace and love while those haters who are not hated for what they are don’t see the hate so they don’t care to give more hate to this world, so that’s why I LOVE YOU SO MUCH Margaret and please have an amazing time celebrating Christmas and New Year! And I hope to see lots and lots of new stuff from you this 2009!

    You are fantastic, amazing, wonderful and FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!

    Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

    Lots Of Hugs And Love,

    Alonso from Costa Rica!

  2. Oh Margaret!!! Thank you so much for helping out with Prop 8… especially the musical. I love you and I hope that together people like you and ‘tards like me can BURN THIS MOTHA DOWN WITH FLAMING GAY MARRIAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! well! I have to scream online because IRL i got Tonsillitis for real! damn damn damn… i just suck too much cock! is there an antibiotic for being a damn whore??!

  3. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Margaret!! Keep up your beautiful work and play! Especially given that you’re getting involved with music and musicians I have to mention a young woman I know and love because she is amazingly talented, hard working, and fabulous in every way and I’m sure you will love her. Her name is Emily Braden. Please check out her myspace page and let her know if you agree with me that she is amazing. She’s presently working on an album in New York. You won’t regret it if you resolve to get to know Emily Braden in 2009. http://www.myspace.com/emilybraden

  4. I listened to that Emily Braden girl for 5 seconds (which is all I need to know if I’ll love it or hate it) and I think that she’s amazing. What an old soul she is! You get to work with Teagan and Sara which is amazing! *pauses to take a breath* I have their 2004 album “So Jealous”, and Margaret if you have a single finished maybe you could get it featured on The L Word! So awesome! ♫There I am in the morning, I don’t like what I see…♫

  5. Hi Margaret

    Glad you are continuing to fight prop 8.

    And I’m happy to hear that the ‘Beautiful Tour’ will be coming out on film.

    Wondering if that will be in the theater, or on video, or both.

    I’ll look forward to either or both, in 2009.

    Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, and Best Wishes in the New Year!

  6. Fuck Rick Warren. Seriously
    i’m so upset by Obama’s his pick of Rick Warren!!!!
    another slap in the face
    a 2nd class citizen
    tommy

  7. Well folks, the new year is merely a few days away, and like that great fraud… I mean “prophet” Nostradamus, I have consulted with the mystic powers to divine what will await us in 2009. Behold the future!

    – I predict that liberals across America will be very angry and bitter when Barack Obama doesn’t instantly improve everything and fails to transform the country into the happy hippie wonderland they desire.

    – I predict that Hillary Clinton will be the Dick Cheney of the Obama administration.

    – I predict that after a disastrous presidency, George W. Bush will go into hiding and will not be seen again for at least 10 years. Dick Cheney will return to his coffin until the Dark Lord summons him to bring about Armageddon.

    – I predict that in the wake of Proposition 8, bullshitting busybodied bureaucrats will enact more laws and proposals to restrict the freedoms of the American people.

    – I predict that under Barack Obama’s presidency, the government will become much larger and more intrusive.

    – I predict that there will be violence between Israelis and Palestinians (okay, that one’s kind of a given).

    – I predict that the film “Watchmen” will kick major ass.

    – I predict the release of a new Sonic the Hedgehog game that won’t suck.

    – I predict that while Conan O’Brien will prosper when he takes over “The Tonight Show”, Jimmy Fallon will fail miserably when he takes over Conan’s spot.

    – I predict that Castro, Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-Il and Hugo Chavez will become even more insane (another given).

    – I predict that in spite of repeated promises that our troops will be withdrawn from Iraq as soon as possible, someone will pull from their ass a foolish reason as to why they need to stay longer.

    – I predict that liberals and conservatives will continue to respond to one another with hatred and harsh criticism instead of trying to find common ground (that one is a definite given).

    – I predict that “The Simpsons” will become funny again (I know it’s a longshot, but that’s what the stars told me.)

    – I predict that no matter what comes our way in 2009, we will all try to make the best of it and live our lives as well as we can, helping others and trying to make things better.

    Happy new year.

  8. HELL YES
