Maria Bamford’s One-Hour Homemade Christmas Special! on Vimeo
Friends. You owe it to yourself to watch Maria Bamford’s whole video at leisure and in one uninterrupted sitting. Because, it’s a gift. She made it for us. For Christmas.
[remainder removed by Doug for brevity in this post, apologies to Merlin]
I have watched this three times already.
Last year at MaxFunCon, I had the strange, unexpected pleasure of sharing a condolet with Ms. Bamford, a room-assignment error I’m sure will not be repeated. She was very nice and I will keep her “hey, roomie!” note forever. That’s just one example of the MAGICAL SURPRISES MaxFunCon provides! You want a few more? Terrifying drive through mountain fog, Crystal Head Vodka around the campfire, induction into a secret society, passing a bottle of wine with Bill Freakin’ Haverchuck, craft hour, fancy punch, and plenty of activities that in no way involve drinking but in every way involve being creative, being nice, and being awesome.
Remembering just now that Maria will be back at MaxFunCon just made me smile. See that text above? That’s from Elisabeth. She got to be roommates with Maria Bamford.
To everyone who reads this tumblr (thank you, by the way) I say the following: Don’t have a ticket yet? Buy one! Don’t have all the money? There’s an installment plan! Who knows who your celebrity roommate could be!?
P.S.: Everyone Frenches there. But we’re cool with it because we’re all fans of each other’s work. It’s the fastest/easiest 2 1/2 days to make 100+ new true friends.
