Saturday, December 8! We’re doing a Greasy Kid Stuff Dance Party for the Little Urbanites grand opening celebration! Little Urbanites is the faboo fashion and interior design spot for the little folks and this is their big grand opening weekend TODAY and Sunday too.

Little Urbanites is located at 916 NW 10th Ave., between Johnson and Lovejoy, across from Jamison Square.

And if that isn’t fun enough, we have TWO $50 Little Urbanites gift certificates to give away today. Email us by the end of our radio show Saturday, December 8, and we'll choose two winners at random!

AND...

We got an email from John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants — they have some very fun and funky family stuff in the works:

"Hello everyone! In 2008, TMBG will be posting weekly video podcasts of videos for kids. It's totally free, remarkably simple to join (it's one click!) and if all goes as planned it will load into your families computer on Fridays to be ready for everyone to enjoy come Friday night-kind of a fun way to start the weekend together.

As a sneak preview we've posted a brand new video for "High Five," a song from our upcoming kids album "Here Come the 123s" that is coming out February 2nd. The video was written and sung by the King of the Drums Marty Beller, and the video was created by the super-talented Divya Srinivasan. This is the link!"
