Fair reader, note that the hour draws nigh for our humble Klezmer ensemble to embark upon the journey to the BIG APPLE.
Said journey shall not be without its trials and tribulations. Yet the members of Yid Vicious are up to the task, with light heart, heavy eyelids, a general excitment abounding, and a singleness of purpose; mainly, to bring KLEZMER GOODNESS from America's Dairyland to THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS!
After all, the exquisite Wisconsin Big Cheese YID VICIOUS compliments the Big Apple most aptly...a bite which both satisfies and tantalizes. Yearning for MORE, YES, MORE KLEZMER GOODNESS, fans from the Empire State will find that once they have sampled the offerings of this fine Klezmer ensemble, they will become insatiated. Never will just ONE performance be enough for these devotees of Wisconsin Klezmer; they must sample the entire smorgasboard!
Experience for yourself the unique and robust musical feast that is YID VICIOUS!
And what have we learned?
WHAT....have we learned?
First, we learned that numbers are hard. We learned that time passes whether you're paying attention or not. Maybe we even learned a little bit about ourselves?
Ha ha ha! Just kidding! Yid Vicious has learned NOTHING! Because Yid Vicious doesn't need no fancy learning to for make klezmer the good! No, this countdown, amazing and riveting as it's been, hasn't been about Yid Vicious at all. Rather, its purpose is to give the good people of old New York town fair warning that a tornado of klezmer is headed for their fair city. TAKE COVER, NEW YORKERS; YOU HAVE ONE DAY BEFORE THE KLEZMER INVASION! YOU HAVE BEEN FAIRLY WARNED!
Yid Vicious am bring excitement klezmer all New York way!

The 48-hour Yid Vicious NEW YORK Whistlestop Tour preparation continues...
Some have found it very interesting that President Obama visits Madison within 48 hours before Yid Vicious departs for exotic ports of call.
Prior to YV's embarking for Argentina by 48 hours in 2009, President Obama came to Madison to promote his Race to the Top program.
Now, with 36 hours left until YV's Drive Time to NYC (The Big Apple, The City that NEVER SLEEPS), the President of the United States has made the first appearance by a sitting US President on the UW-Madison campus in over 60 years.
So, you may wonder, why it is that there is this unusually coincidental occurrence between President Obama's visits to Madison and YV's travels to large metropolitan areas remote from the capitol of the Badger State?
Counseling for foreign policy matters? Urban renewal strategies? Are members of Yid Vicious foreign and interstate operatives?
We shall now let you in on the secret...it's [...]

Just a couple days left! Get ready for some bustling! Everyone in New York does it! Bustles! Keep up with the bustling or get out of the way! These mean streets don't cotton to laggards! Keep it up with the bustling; don't slow down the bustle!
Whew, that was exhausting. I guess in the big city you have to have a lot of energy just to get through the day. I only hope Yid Vicious is up for it. Does YV possess the necessary bustle? Or will Gotham's relentlessness grind them down into a quivering heap? Soon, Dear Reader, soon enough we'll find out what Yid Vicious is really made of.
It may not be pretty. But then THE TRUTH rarely is!
Yid Vicious: The Truth is Rarely Pretty.

Well, Reader, you may have noticed a dearth in countdown updates lately. It's not that we at Yid Vicious Headquarters have forgotten about you. No, what happened was we grew so excited by the intensity of the countdown that we forgot how to use numbers, thereby making a countdown next to impossible. But we're trying. We're trying.
Hopefully we'll recover our faculties in time for our Thursday departure. Otherwise, if the highways are still named after numbers, this could end badly.
