The holidays are just around the corner. No, really, I’m not messing with you. It’s Thanksgiving in just nine days! (please don’t try to email me on Black Friday, I’ll be passed out in a pile of gravy). So that also means it’s time to bust out all your favorite Xmas and Hanukkah sweaters and get ready to rock out with your cello out.

For the second straight year, the Portland Cello Project—you might have seen its lively tour blog around these parts—is hosting a big ol’ holiday bash. Only instead of an awkward gathering of relatives, this party consists of a bunch of friends (Panther, Leviethan, the Portland Ukulele Project, and Kevin and Anita Robinson of Viva Voce and Blue Giant) getting trashed off eggnog and playing you all their favorite holiday hits. Plus some Justin Timberlake.

The only downside? The thing costs $13, or $15 if you’re cheap and wait to buy your tickets at the door. But here come Kevin and Anita to the rescue, because they want you to get your holiday cheer on. They also know that it’s been a tough year for the pocketbook. The remedy? The couple is giving away five spots on its guestlist, and all you have to do is email them (therobinsonsmusic@gmail.com, be sure to put “Cello show Dec. 4″ in the subject field) with a good reason why you should bust out your favorite Xmas sweater and join the rocking cellos. Just don’t hit on Anita, ’cause that’s so not cool. Shit, how do you unsend an email?

Man, I’d look really good in this vest:
