Legend

According to Moonalice legend, history books tell you all about the migration of swallows to San Juan Capistrano, but no one has ever explained why they come here instead of somewhere else. Fortunately, the Moonalice legend has the answer. The swallows came here for the same reason that missionaries did: for the hemp. In the centuries before Europeans arrived, Moonalice hippies grew their finest hemp along the coastline here. Swallows from Argentina made their seasonal migration to enable their young grow up in a hemp-rich environment. Unfortunately the missionaries did not share the swallows’ or Moonalices’ enthusiasm for hemp. They built a mission here and put an end to hemp nonsense. Apparently Moonalice and the swallows are endlessly optimistic. Tonight we are here for the first time. If all goes well tonight, the swallows will be here tomorrow.

According to Moonalice legend, the first Zorro story was set in San Juan Capistrano. Zorro is a great figure in Moonalice legend. Our tribe loves pirates, the Johnny Depp kind of pirates, and Zorro was a land pirate. While we aspire to Zorro-ness, we identify more with Sergeant Garcia, the TV show’s clueless foil. Sergeant Garcia was part Moonalice and was known for the prodigious amounts of hemp he consumed. What we can’t understand is where he got his weight problem and cluelessness.

According to Moonalice legend, today is Awkward Moments Day. It’s embarrassing, but I don’t know what to say. According to Moonalice legend, today is the 51st anniversary of President Eisenhower signing into law the statehood of Hawaii. We think the statehood of Alaska and Hawaii make President Eisenhower one of the great presidents of all time. No president ever did more to expand America’s vacation land!!!

According to Moonalice legend, the name Orange County is the result of a massive cover-up. As shown on tonight’s incredible poster by David Singer, this entire area was a bountiful Moonalice hemp farm for centuries before the Europeans arrived. In those days, the Moonalice name for this area was Green County. Sadly, the missionaries just didn’t appreciate the benefits of hemp over oranges. They just preferred a brighter color.

According to Moonalice legend, the name Orange County is a cover-up. In the old days before the missionaries, oranges were not an important crop. The only crop that mattered was hemp. And the place was called Green County back then . . . but the missionaries put an end to that.

Moonalice poster by David Singer

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, there are THREE Blue Moons tonight. The first is the beautiful woman right up here on stage, Blue Moonalice. The second is a strain of herbal entertainment by the same name, dedicated to the beautiful Blue. And the third is way, way, way up in the sky. Tonight is the second full moon of the month and all evidence suggests that this Blue Moon is also dedicated to our tribe. Can anyone remember the last time there was a celestial blue moon on New Year’s Eve? I know I can’t, but other factors may be affecting my memory. Wikipedia claims there was one in 1990, but I’m not buying it. By the way, there won’t be another Blue Moon full moon on New Year’s Eve until 2028. I recommend we reconvene right here.

According to Moonalice legend, the Point Arena lighthouse is closer to Honolulu than any other point on the U.S mainland. We can’t see it from here, but I smell something yummy that must be from Hawaii. If you are lucky, the birthers will decide Point Arena is a foreign country, just like Hawaii!

According to Moonalice legend, this town is home to an endangered rodent known the Point Arena Mountain Beaver. We don’t know much about the Point Arena Mountain Beaver, except that Wikipedia claims it is mysterious. Moonalice legend suggests the real issue is that the Point Arena Mountain Beaver likes to mate on a huge bed of fresh hemp plants. The beavers have their medical cards and grow their own, but insist growing a dozen plants per beaver. The DEA came down hard on them. Now they’re endangered.

According to Moonalice legend, on this day in 1759, an Irish fellow by the name of Arthur Guinness took out a 9,000-year lease on some land in Dublin and built a brewery, which he named after himself. His original plan was to brew hemp beer, but it gave him the munchies, so he switched to stout.

According to Moonalice legend – and Wikipedia – Point Arena has way more men than women. For every 100 women, there are 110 guys. The imbalance is even greater among those 18 and under. We have no idea what this means, but the tribe salutes your social experiment.

October 25, 2009 Skipper’s Smoke­house, Tampa, Florida
Moonalice poster by David Singer

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, the name Tampa derives from the Calusa Indian word that means “sticks of fire”. Apparently the Calusa invented matches, which made them strategic partners to the Moonalice tribe, who spent centuries trying to get them hemp lit before the invention of lighters.

According to Moonalice legend, when the Spanish explorers arrived in the 16th century they were looking for gold. De Sota came ashore and the first person he met was Wally Gator Moonalice, who was passed out on the beach after a massive smoke out the night before. De Soto woke up Wally and asked if he knew where De Soto could find some gold. Wally said he was fresh out of gold, but he had some serious hash. Being an explorer, De Soto had no sense of humor, but he really liked the hash. The rest, as they say, is legend.

According to Moonalice legend, tonight’s poster depicts Everglades Moonalice, the first Moonalice to come to Tampa from our home planet. Everglades was a couple doobies short of a stash, which proved to be a problem when he splashed down in the swamp that still carries his name. Everglades took one look at the gators and the bugs, got back into his spaceship and went home.

According to Moonalice legend, today is the 155th anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade. As tragic exercises in futility go, the Charge one ranks right up there with the time Hialeah Moonalice accidently set fire to the entire hemp crop in Tampa in 1934.

According to Moonalice legend, today would have been the 75th birthday of the great child actor Eugene Gordon Lee, better known as Porky in Our Gang. Porky died forty years ago, but he lives on in a complete set of Our Gang DVDs in our bus.

October 17, 2009 Kaplan’s Farm, Miller­ton, New York
Moonalice poster by David Singer

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, Millerton, NY is located in Duchess County. That may not seem like a big deal to you, but Dutchess County once employed G. Gordon Liddy as an assistant district attorney. Liddy spent a large part of the 60s trying to put Timothy Leary in jail. In the end, Liddy went to jail for his role in Watergate. Why doesn’t that kind of thing happen any more?

According to Moonalice legend, October 17 was a HUGE day during the American Revolution. On this day in 1777, the home team won the Battle of Saratoga. In 1781, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. In addition to October 17, these events share one other common factor: both battles were catered by Moonalice 420 Barbecue. Moonalice 420 practically invented barbecue. Their popularity was due to the fact that they smoked everything: meats, poultry and hemp. Why doesn’t that kind of thing happen any more?

According to Moonalice legend, October 17 is Eggplant Day. Fortunately for us, it’s only celebrated in France. On a more positive note, today is the birthday of William Anders, one of the 24 astronauts who made the journey from the Earth to our tribe’s home planet. Happy Birthday Bill!

September 19, 2009 Fox  Theatre, Redwood City, California
Moonalice poster by David Singer

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Arrrrrrr. We strapped on our peg legs, adjusted our eye patches, and made our scurvy way to the Fox. As it happens, we hear Fox be good eatin’, arrrrr. This be a high holy day fer the tribe, bein’ as how we all be descended from pirate stock. Darwin claimed we be descended from apes. His followers believe that 95% common DNA be evidence of the same. Nonsense. We members of the tribe maintain a different view. Given that we share 99.9% of DNA with Pirates, obviously it be from such scalleywag stock that we come. Raise yer pipes to our pirate ancestors! Shiver me timbers!!! Arrrr . . .

According to Moonalice legend, this area was once home to a tough matriarch named Big Fox Moonalice. She presided here long ago, ensuring that the tribe grew fine hemp and played the lowest of tones. But Big Fox is best known today as the grandmother of the hellion next door, Little Fox Moonalice. Time does not permit me to say much about Little Fox – you can find it in the Legend – exception to say that from the day of her birth, she made life hell for everyone around her. Big Fox couldn’t stand it, left town, and lived out her days eating hemp brownies and snoring loudly.
