April 8, 2011 Putnam Den, Saratoga, New York
Moonalice poster by Alexander Fischer
According to Moonalice legend, the Moonalice matriarch in the early days of Saratoga Springs was Granite Palace Moonalice, who called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy. To avoid confusion, I will henceforth refer to said matriarch as GP. She owned the land over the well head of the springs when the new folks said they wanted to buy the place. They said they wanted to drink the water. “Drink the water?” GP asked, barely contain a body laugh that was building inside her. “Drink the water from that spring?” When GP burst out laughing, the new folks asked her why. Granite Palace Moonalice responded that her kind had been using the Saratoga spring as a bong for generations on end.

April 4, 2011 Iota Club & Cafe, Arlington, Virginia
Moonalice poster by Alexandra Fischer
According to Moonalice legend, tonight’s poster features the lovely Iota Moonalice. Iota grew up with the railroad and spent her later years working at Union Station in Washington. Her job was in scheduling. Her job was to make sure it was always 4:20 somewhere on the railroad. In January 1953, a special express train – named The Federal Express – left Boston for Washington. It was filled with Massachusetts Republicans on their way to President Eisenhower’s first inauguration. As the train approached Union Station at 80 mph, the conductor discovered that his brakes were not working. The watchman at the two mile marker realized what was happening and signaled the station. They had 90 seconds to get everyone out. The train blew through several walls, the station master’s office, and the main news stand. As it approached the main concourse, the floor collapsed. The locomotive and front few cars came to rest downstairs in the baggage room. Incredibly, no one was killed. A train filled with Republicans. 1953. Think about it.

March 27, 2011 Quixote’s True Blue, Denver, Colorado
Moonalice poster by Alexandra Fischer
According to Moonalice legend, tonight’s poster by Alexandra Fischer features the lovely True Blue Moonalice, whose rosy red skin belied her name. True Blue dazzled all the boys in the tribe with her stunning good looks and yummy baked goods. Baking at high altitudes is a hassle, but True Blue overcame the odds and the environment with her breakthrough confection: the True Blue Brownie. Unlike the baker herself, True Blue’s brownies actually came in a blue wrapper. Best of all, they could incapacitate a roadie with a single bite. It could be that the Quixote’s True Blue is just a remarkable coincidence. You be the judge.
According to Moonalice legend, on this day in 1915, Typhoid Mary was quarantined. She was the first healthy carrier of typhoid fever ever identified and she was known to have infected 50 people who ate food from her kitchen, 3 of whom died. She was not known for her hemp brownies, which is too bad, as baking good brownies would have been a point in her favor.
