Tote bag, people! And you&#8217;re getting it all for $40. And remember, our first two CDs are now only $15. And the latest CD is on iTunes!<\/p>\n<p>But enough of merch plugs.<\/p>\n<p>Another staple of the Apocalypse Kow Kristmas Kabaret is the gingerbread house auction, full of houses made by your favourite Kows. We&#8217;ve had many memorable houses, some of which turned out the way they did because the houses broke and we had to make last-minute changes. Or first-minute changes. You get the idea. In recent years, the houses we&#8217;ve bought have come pre-built, but that doesn&#8217;t mean Kow is content with using just the kit. No, your Kows search high and low (at Save-On) for other ingredients to add to the houses to make them unique&#8211;breakfast cereals, mints, chocolate, sprinkles, anything to make those houses attractive to potential bidders.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the money raised from our gingerbread house auction is going toward typhoon relief in the Phillipines. But you may be asking yourself: does that mean you&#8217;re raising money for the Crohn&#8217;s and Colitis Foundation of Canada, typhoon relief,\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0collecting food for the Edmonton Food Bank? The answer, dear reader, is yes. Devin originally conceived of a Christmas show as a way to keep us rehearsing, because back then, we only seemed to rehearse in earnest when we had a show to work towards. Now, a decade later, we put on our Kristmas Kabaret to help those in need, to have fun with friends and family, and, yes, so we rehearse more after the Fringe.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you&#8217;ll join us this year!
