My Neighbor’s Holiday Lights on WCCO

With thanks to Taylor, within 15 minutes of posting My Neighbor’s Holiday Lights, Jason DeRusha emails me saying he’s going to do a story on it. In under 2 hours he is outside my house.

He joked with my neighbor that it wasn’t the first time he stole one of my stories (true) and he said he has absolutely no problem stealing other people’s stories (also true). The last time I saw him was when he got my great spot along the red carpet at the A Prairie Home Companion premiere which allowed him to flirt with Virginia Madsen. Ruthless.

Anyway, here’s Jason’s post about my neighbor’s holiday lights and here’s the video of the story.

The worst part is that WCCO broadcasted a map to my house. We get enough traffic already and that’s not even including the girl and her stuffed animal dancing in the lights the other night.

(The unnamed guy in the car is Brian Moen.)

    Are you wearing the same thing in the WCCO video as your banner for this site? Looks like it.

    Is there a way to save the video? I need it for my scrapbook!

    Sadly, there isn’t an easy way to save it. Damn Dayport video hosting.

    I especially loved the part where you were outside conducting the music with a Fat Cat in your hand.

    Is that a Town Talk Diner beer cozy in your hand?
