--Frighteningly cruel chick who hit up on Sloop at the Green Mill,
in reaction to his rendition of his "The Porn Fairy"

Sloop was actually once known as “Goose,” a name his pa gave ’em as a shaver. And goose is delicious, of course--so just say “no” to the mainstream, milquetoast turkey and crap and cook one up this year ala Dickens, pre-Age of Lame! Oh, and then there’s this show… Sloop. Hosting magic. Prize giveaways. Bands (TBA)…
...Damn Near KILLED 'em!...
’Tis the Season for Sloopin’

Cover: $6
It's the magical, Christmas-ical season again, and in the spirit of helping others... Sloop's providing another public service in how NOT to approach the Uptown Poetry Slam by reading some seasonal dreck! It takes a certain type of poetry, and a certain genre of performance style, to (usually) win over the random judges here and... Well, Sloop doesn't care! He tries it Sloopy style and... Well, he HAS won, over the years, here and there, but...
Oh (Santa) Baby…
Sloop Puts the ‘Fest’ in ‘Festive’ at the Subterranean! (Flabby Hoffman Caravan--live show and TV taping)

There are only a couple of Christmas Sloop shows each year…and this is one of ’em. Yeah, yeah, yeah--Sloop emcees in a merry manner, bands will be featured (TBA) and Sloop gives gifts to all the good little boys and bad little girls via the between-acts game show! But most importantly, it’s another cheap thrill from those seasonal references… Stoke Sloop’s yule log, deck his balls, sit on his Santa lap…
Jolly, Jolly, Fa-La-La!

This is Sloop's favorite regular Flabby show venue and it's, ya' know, The Season--so come on out and, just for Sloop, spread! Cheer, that is. Ahem. Sloop's emceeing magic! Merriment doled out in the form of prizes, all through the festive game show Sloop hosts between acts! Oh, and musical acts, too. (TBA.)
And...
If you go to see 'em live, always mention that you're there to see Sloop! (For reasons of getting paid and such, albeit pathetically paid)...
Plus…
Hear Sloop live on Internet Radio: Thursday nights, 7-10 p.m., on the Flabby Hoffman Extravagonzo on http://FearlessRadio.com…or download the podcast afterward... And call in, ya' bastards!
This Just In (Sorta)...
SLOOP BIEDERMAN AND THE MAGNIFICENT MUSICAL NUT WAGON DOWNLOADS!: There's still the early single release (second edition), Fireworks, Cheeze and Porn--but now there's even more from Sloop Biederman and the Magnificent Musical Nut Wagon’s upcoming CD, "Help Yourself to My Nuts" (with Stephan Portugal)! There's the just-about-final version of Just Say 'Yes'! We're not sure about Poor Her, but that's here... And we know Makin' Sweet Love to Myself is a keeper, but this version isn't much more than a first sit-down with a band (including too much, er, revelry)! Enjoy (or whatever)!
Oh...
And don't forget to see Sloop's regular "News of Our Time--In Rhyme" through Continental Features Syndicate and "finer" news publications nationwide...
And, oh!...
Sloop's now an ordained "reverend," thanks to the Internet! For weddings or other rituals crying out for that Sloopy tinge...
Plus (nudge nudge, wink wink)…
Oh, and Chicago Slapper Yapper Grasshoppers, don't forget to watch Sloop's live hosting and other antics on "The Flabby Hoffman Show," Thursdays, 11:30 p.m. - 12:30 a.m. on Chicago Cable Channel 19. Ratings are rising--so get in on it now so you can act all cool and say you watched BEFORE it went Big!
