Sleighs, snowboards and schnappsMy family has the Christ-

mas traditions fairy tales are made of.

We go on an annual sleigh ride with Clydesdale horses in the woods of Northern Michigan. We sing Christ-mas carols.

Then, when the mo-ment is right, we come at each other with linebacker speed, bear hug a random relative as hard as we can and tackle them to the snow.

Others will then walk up and start shoving snow in the downed Peterson’s mouth.

It’s painful, really. We all sit on our hay bales on

high alert and wait for the slaughter-fest to ensue be-cause, let’s face it, Christ-mas Eve is a total blast.

Afterward, we all head back to grandma’s house and wait for Santa to come.

And while we’re wait-ing we try to come up with a new drink of the season. Somehow Dr. McGillicud-dy’s Mint Schnapps makes an appearance every year,

which is really no surprise because what drink flavor goes better with Christmas than peppermint?

Nothing, I say, nothing. Actually, a bit of gin and

tonic is really more piney, but we didn’t have limes so we made do with what we had.

We mixed up peppermint schnapps and hot choco-late, peppermint schnapps and coffee and, occasion-ally, just had a little bit of it straight. I tried it with ci-der and I will warn you that it’s terrible. Never again — yuck.

So now it’s time for New Year’s Eve, and at the last

minute I changed plans and am bolting for Virginia.

I’ve been craving a solid day of snowboarding so we’re ditching work today (suckers!) and going to Lib-erty Mountain.

If I didn’t have friends to crash with in Lynchburg, I’d be heading to Jack Frost Big Boulder.

I hear they have a ton of fresh powder and it’s only a two-hour drive. Plus I found a $10 off coupon at Dunkin’ Donuts this morn-ing. Score!

If you’re going skiing make sure you take along treats. I don’t know if you’re allowed to, but we

bring grills, coolers and a thermos full of coffee, which may or may not have black-berry brandy in it for a little tailgating in the parking lot.

That stuff will warm up your soul, I swear.

Of course you can’t drink and then ski, so save that for the end of the day — and be sure to be at an out-of-state mountain, so we don’t have to print your police re-port for grilling without a permit.

Or, if you prefer to be a le-gal eagle, the Fireside Pub &

Grill at Ski Roundtop has a fabulous Snow Melter that’s Buttershots and hot choco-late and would be lovely to enjoy by the fire.

Alright, so I’ll leave you with my favorite drink of 2010. It’s just Red Bull and Absolut Pear Vodka.

It’s really simple, it’s re-freshing and it will give you wings. Or so the commer-cial says.

Cheers to a happy 2011!———

As a friendly reminder, please drink responsibly.

Out with Erica

I just browsed The Sen-tinel’s archives, and all I can think to say is, “Wow! 2010 was a good year.”

During the course of the year, I went to the theatre, the symphony, the ballet, basketball matches and football games.

I visited the Whitaker Center, a haunted house and a winery.

I went dancing.

I dined outside and went out for ice cream.

I went shopping.I went running and walk-

ing. I went hiking.

I played golf.I spent quality time with

family and good friends.I hope you did all of these

things, too, and had as much fun as I did!

My 2011 resolution is to continue to write about the fun and interesting things to do in central Pennsylva-nia, and I would like your help.

If there is something

you’d like to try, or if you’ve done something fun that you’d like to share, let me know.

I will try it out and pos-sibly feature it in an “Out with Erica” column.

Send your suggestions to [email protected].

Happy New Year!

Mini Reviews

“The Fighter” (Drama, R, 115 minutes). Colorful supporting performances help, but a vaguely defined lead diminishes the power you’d expect in this story based on a real fighter. Mark Wahlberg plays Micky Ward, Christian Bale is his goofy crackhead half-brother, Melissa Leo is his possessive mom, and Amy Adams is the barmaid who knows he’ll never get anywhere until he frees himself of his family. HH 1/2“Gulliver’s Travels” (Fantasy adven-ture, PG, 85 minutes). Not your average Jack Black movie. More of an innocent family adventure, filmed in a traditional style. Black, as a lowly mail clerk for a newspaper, finds himself in the land of Lilliput -- where he is first a captive, then a friendly giant, and finally a hero. With Em-ily Blunt as a princess, King Billy Connolly and Gen. Chris O’Dowd both rivals for her affection, and Amanda Peet as Black’s editor. Innocent fun. HHH“How Do You Know” (Romantic comedy, PG-13, 116 minutes). Reese Witherspoon plays a softball player who finds herself simultaneously without a team and with two men in her life. Owen Wilson is a millionaire pro pitcher, and Paul Rudd is a wheeler-dealer who faces prison because of misdealings by the firm of his father (Jack Nicholson). HH“True Grit” (Western, PG-13, 110 minutes). An entertaining remake of the 1969 film, and more, by Joel and Ethan Coen. Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn easily fills John Wayne’s boots, and Hailee Steinfeld is very special as young Mattie Ross, who hires the old marshal to help her hunt down the varmint that killed her old man. HHH 1/2“The Tourist” (Thriller, PG-13, 104 min-utes). A romantic comedy crossed with a crime thriller, shot in Paris and Venice, involving a glamorous mystery woman (Angelina Jolie) and a math teacher (Johnny Depp) from Wisconsin. Jolie rises to the occasion, but Depp plays the math teacher as a man waiting for the school bell to ring so he can go bowling. HH — Roger Ebert

IN NEXT WEEK’S ISSUELocal veteran actors Jay Krevsky and Jay

Miffoluf will reunite for Gamut Theatre Group’s production of “The Sunshine

Boys” next month.

By LISA CLARKESENTINEL [email protected]

Auld Acquaintance may be forgot, but New Year’s Eve is certain to be memo-rable this year with plenty of party options in the Har-risburg area that go beyond the traditional fireworks and champagne.

In New Cumberland, Comedy is King at the Har-risburg Comedy Zone, lo-cated at Doc Holliday’s Steak House and Saloon at the Harrisburg West Inn and Conference Center. For the holiday, they will pres-ent national touring head-liners Paul Hooper and Jose Sarduy.

Hooper was a finalist at the HBO Comedy Festival in Vegas, the Boston Comedy Festival, and the 30th An-nual Seattle International Comedy Competition.

Sarduy has won accolades at several prestigious com-edy competitions around the country including San Francisco and Seattle, as well as the Latino Laugh Festival in Los Angeles and the Lucky 21 Contest at The Comedy Festival in Las Ve-gas.

The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are $15 for gen-eral admission, with din-ner and show packages also available. For more infor-mation visit www.harris-burgcomedyzone.com.

Full sensory experienceFor art lovers, there’s no

place like the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center for a night of creative immer-sion when Art House Cin-ema presents Aortic Valve. The group is a collabora-

tive effort of video/visual artists VJCA and Evolution. The duo blends an impro-visational mix of imagery with a soundtrack of funk, soul, reggae, classic and In-die rock on the turntables. Their monthly dance par-ties at HMAC have become increasingly popular, and their New Year’s Eve per-formance promises to be a must-see (and hear) event for the holiday.

The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Harrisburg Midtown Art Center’s Stage on Herr, located on Herr Street be-tween Second and Third streets in Midtown Harris-burg. Tickets are $10. For more information, visit www.harrisburgarts.com.

Take a step back in time and party like it’s 1929 with a 1920s-themed party fea-turing live music by Wash-ington, D.C., based Celtic/world music band Scyth-ian at Appalachian Brewing Company’s Cameron Street location.

The group is known for its high-energy, interactive performances, sure to get the party up and dancing all evening. Costumes are en-couraged, so get out your flapper garb and pinstripes for a roaring good time.

General admission for the

show is $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m. For tickets and in-formation, visit www.abc-brew.com.

Ski RoundtopWhether you’re an as-

piring ski-bum or just a lodge-lover, local winter wonderland Ski Roundtop steps into the mix this year with a unique New Year’s Eve party (shout out to last week’s Alive feature by Naomi Creason).

The night will include a special menu, live music

popular local band Jazz Me, with dancing from 9 p.m.- 1 a.m. And topping off the festivities will be a fire-works display from the top of the mountain.

Tickets for the event are $50 per person, including two drink tickets, or $40 per person for those under 21.

Accommodation and transportation arrange-ments are also available at special rates with local ho-tels. For information and tickets, visit www.skir-oundtop.com.

Publishing powerhouse Simon & Schuster an-nounced late last month the acquisition of a his-tory-making deal with probably the best known author in the world.

“We are pleased and honored to add the Lord Almighty to our list of no-table authors,” said Exec-utive Vice President and Publisher Jonathan Karp in a press release.

Yep, in late 2011, the world will get to read the new and improved word of God. The press release says the memoir will be semi-autobiographical in nature and this time around He “very much wants His words to be clearly understood, as opposed to ‘interpreted,’ which has gotten people into trouble in the past.”

Presumably, God is get-ting a little help from Da-vid Javerbaum, former ex-ecutive producer of “The Daily Show,” who is men-tioned in the press release as being represented by the same literary agency, and who also facilitated a Holy interview with En-tertainment Weekly’s on-line blog, Shelf Life (shelf-life.ew.com).

According to the press release, God will cover a multitude of subjects — even going all the way back to the Garden of

Eden, as well as evolution and the sports teams He really roots for.

I n t h e i n t e r v i e w with Shelf Life’s Keith Staskiewicz, God ex-plains why He chose 2011 to release His first work since the Old and New testaments.

“Lo, I grew weary of be-ing misinterpreted, and blasphemed, and relegat-ed to sneeze detail; and I longed to telleth all,” He said, “and it was a matter of urgency, for on April 23, 2013, I shall bring about on Earth an event of such cataclysmic … well, ye will have to read the book.

God has also created an official Twitter account (TheTweetofGod) in an effort to promote His new memoir. But don’t ex-pect God to care about your Tweets — that honor falls on one person: Justin Bieber.

While I’m sure some will call this new memoir blasphemous, I look for-ward to its release.

Based on his interviews and Tweets, God seems like a pretty cool guy.

You never know what to expect when it comes to Carlisle High School’s im-prov comedy club Wingin’ It.

The members will pull something out of nothing to make a scene work, and in some cases, pull a tooth out of another member’s mouth. Though not part of any official work as a club, the latter situation is what started rehearsal Mon-day night, with 15-year-old Griffin Mann gleefully showing off the vacated

area of where his baby tooth used to be.

It’s the kind of off-stage screwball comedy that brings the group of high schoolers together and lets them show off their come-dic skills to their classmates and to the Carlisle area. One way they’ve been do-ing that is with a few shows during First Night Carlisle.

Wingin’ It has performed with the annual festivities for four years, and even though this New Year’s Eve will be without the car drop this year, the comedy group will still go on with the show.

“When we found out that

First Night was canceled this year, my kids were real-ly disappointed,” said Matt Fahnestock, Carlisle High School English teacher and

adviser of the group. “Peo-ple around here were used to going out and having en-tertainment. For us, it was a great opportunity to still have some entertainment.”

Fahnestock and his 11-member troupe decided to stick with their plans for three New Year’s Eve shows, and this year, Wingin’ It will perform three times dur-ing the night, ending with a show at 10:30 p.m. that will go to midnight with the group’s own count-down and “drop” of various items.

Wide rangeThough the Wingin’ It

performances have been an annual showcase dur-ing First Night, the group also regularly performs at the high school throughout the year, easily filling up the cafeteria in the Swartz Building. The group is so popular that the troupe it-self has an audition process before students make it to the front of the audience.

“This year, we had 32 people audition, and we have five new members,” Fahnestock said. “It’s pretty competitive. There are a lot of kids at this school, and there’s a lot of talent there. We can’t have too many people — even 11 is hard to manage sometimes.”

The group also tends to appeal to a broad range of students. Among the 11 members, there is the se-nior class vice president, two Shakespeare Troupe thespians, a football player and quite a few members involved in choir and the musical.

“There are people from different parts of the high school here,” said Evan Parr, 18. “We’re all sort of in dif-ferent cliques.”

“It’s a total mix,” Fahn-estock said. “There’s no stigma against it. We get the most popular kids to try

out, too. A lot of them really wouldn’t have known each other, otherwise. It’s really

like the ‘Breakfast Club’ in a way.”

It was an opportunity 18-

year-old Dan White didn’t want to pass up when he moved to Carlisle last year.

“I started an improv group with my friend at my old school,” he said. “When I heard about it here, I tried out.”

The results from getting students from different cliques are certainly sur-prising to Fahnestock, who has seen plenty of students try their hand at improv comedy over the six years he’s managed the group. One lasting memory he was glad to share was when Second City held a work-shop at the high school and the professional group saw what Wingin’ It had to of-fer.

“They came up to me and said, ‘Your kids are good,’ and thinking they said that to everybody, I just said, ‘oh yeah, thanks,’ but they said, ‘No, really, your kids are good. They could go pro-fessional if they wanted to.’ I know I’m biased when I say that, but these kids are really good.”

Fahnestock is looking to give the students a bit more experience with a trip to Chicago to see Second City perform and attend im-prov comedy workshops. The New Year’s Eve perfor-mances will help pay for the trip.

Admission to the 6:30, 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. shows on New Year’s Eve are $3 for Carlisle High School stu-dents with ID and $5 for the public.

There are only about 100 seats in The Cubiculo, above the Carlisle Theatre, so seating is limited, and the 10:30 p.m. show may be popular.

Tickets will be on sale the night of, but area resi-dents can reserve tickets by e-mailing [email protected] and requesting a showtime. For more infor-mation on the show and the group, go to www.chswing-init.com.

planned for New Year’s Eve include the following:

ties will begin at 8 p.m. on the square in downtown Shippensburg.

The evening’s events will include music, street dancing, a big-screen tele-vision, a moon bounce, inflatable jousting, a rock wall and a slide.

Carriage rides and food vendors are also sched-uled.

Free hats and noisemak-ers from the Beistle Com-pany will be distributed at Liberty Tax Service on the Square.

At midnight, the anchor will drop, and footage from the celebration in Times Square will play. A “sur-prise” visual display will also take place at midnight.

mechanicsburgThe New Year’s Eve

Wrench Drop will take place on East Main Street in Mechanicsburg from 11 p.m. Dec. 31 until 12:30 a.m. Jan. 1.

“Like many of the other communities, we had to scale back a little bit,” Me-chanicsburg Chamber of Commerce executive di-rector Jeff Palm said.

In the past, the New Year’s Eve program offered other entertainment, such as a movie or video gaming system, he said. Because of

the economy and, in some cases, a lack of attendance, this year’s program will be smaller, Palm said.

A DJ will play live mu-sic, and Boy Scouts will be serving refreshments and selling mini-wrench sou-venirs, Palm said.

DillsburgThis year’s Pickle Drop

will be at the Citizens Fire Hose Company No. 1, 109 S. Baltimore St.

Festivities will begin at 4:30 p.m. with a Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank drive. From 4:30 to 11:30 p.m., indoor entertain-ment at the Community Memorial Hall will include a Michael Thomas Magic Act, kids’ games and face painting by New Hope Ministries, a DJ and re-freshments.

At 7 p.m., the Mrs. Pickle Drop for those with young children or who wish to cel-ebrate early will be held at Community Memorial Hall.

Kiwanis bingo will be played in the fire station engine bay from 8 until 11:30 p.m., and music and dancing in the streets will be available from 9 p.m. until the Mr. Pickle Drop and fireworks at midnight.

According to the web-site www.carrollcitizens.com, rumors of Mrs. Pick-le’s pregnancy will be ad-dressed at Mrs. Pickle’s drop.

ties will begin at 8 p.m. on the square in downtown Shippensburg.

The evening’s events will include music, street dancing, a big-screen tele-vision, a moon bounce, inflatable jousting, a rock wall and a slide.

mechanicsburgThe New Year’s Eve

Wrench Drop will take place on East Main Street in Mechanicsburg from 11 p.m. Dec. 31 until 12:30 a.m. Jan. 1.

“Like many of the other communities, we had to scale back a little bit,” Me-chanicsburg Chamber of Commerce executive di-rector Jeff Palm said.

In the past, the New Year’s Eve program offered other entertainment, such as a movie or video gaming system, he said. Because of

the economy and, in some cases, a lack of attendance, this year’s program will be smaller, Palm said.

A DJ will play live mu-sic, and Boy Scouts will be serving refreshments and selling mini-wrench sou-venirs, Palm said.

DillsburgThis year’s Pickle Drop

will be at the Citizens Fire Hose Company No. 1, 109 S. Baltimore St.

Festivities will begin at 4:30 p.m. with a Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank drive. From 4:30 to 11:30 p.m., indoor entertain-ment at the Community Memorial Hall will include a Michael Thomas Magic Act, kids’ games and face painting by New Hope Ministries, a DJ and re-freshments.

At 7 p.m., the Mrs. Pickle Drop for those with young children or who wish to cel-ebrate early will be held at Community Memorial Hall.

Kiwanis bingo will be played in the fire station engine bay from 8 until 11:30 p.m., and music and dancing in the streets will be available from 9 p.m. until the Mr. Pickle Drop and fireworks at midnight.

According to the web-site www.carrollcitizens.com, rumors of Mrs. Pick-le’s pregnancy will be ad-dressed at Mrs. Pickle’s drop.

IN NEXT WEEK’S ISSUELocal veteran actors Jay Krevsky and Jay

Miffoluf will reunite for Gamut Theatre Group’s production of “The Sunshine

Boys” next month.

By LISA CLARKESENTINEL [email protected]

Auld Acquaintance may be forgot, but New Year’s Eve is certain to be memo-rable this year with plenty of party options in the Har-risburg area that go beyond the traditional fireworks and champagne.

In New Cumberland, Comedy is King at the Har-risburg Comedy Zone, lo-cated at Doc Holliday’s Steak House and Saloon at the Harrisburg West Inn and Conference Center. For the holiday, they will pres-ent national touring head-liners Paul Hooper and Jose Sarduy.

Hooper was a finalist at the HBO Comedy Festival in Vegas, the Boston Comedy Festival, and the 30th An-nual Seattle International Comedy Competition.

Sarduy has won accolades at several prestigious com-edy competitions around the country including San Francisco and Seattle, as well as the Latino Laugh Festival in Los Angeles and the Lucky 21 Contest at The Comedy Festival in Las Ve-gas.

The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are $15 for gen-eral admission, with din-ner and show packages also available. For more infor-mation visit www.harris-burgcomedyzone.com.

Full sensory experienceFor art lovers, there’s no

place like the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center for a night of creative immer-sion when Art House Cin-ema presents Aortic Valve. The group is a collabora-

tive effort of video/visual artists VJCA and Evolution. The duo blends an impro-visational mix of imagery with a soundtrack of funk, soul, reggae, classic and In-die rock on the turntables. Their monthly dance par-ties at HMAC have become increasingly popular, and their New Year’s Eve per-formance promises to be a must-see (and hear) event for the holiday.

The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Harrisburg Midtown Art Center’s Stage on Herr, located on Herr Street be-tween Second and Third streets in Midtown Harris-burg. Tickets are $10. For more information, visit www.harrisburgarts.com.

Take a step back in time and party like it’s 1929 with a 1920s-themed party fea-turing live music by Wash-ington, D.C., based Celtic/world music band Scyth-ian at Appalachian Brewing Company’s Cameron Street location.

The group is known for its high-energy, interactive performances, sure to get the party up and dancing all evening. Costumes are en-couraged, so get out your flapper garb and pinstripes for a roaring good time.

General admission for the

show is $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m. For tickets and in-formation, visit www.abc-brew.com.

Ski RoundtopWhether you’re an as-

piring ski-bum or just a lodge-lover, local winter wonderland Ski Roundtop steps into the mix this year with a unique New Year’s Eve party (shout out to last week’s Alive feature by Naomi Creason).

The night will include a special menu, live music

popular local band Jazz Me, with dancing from 9 p.m.- 1 a.m. And topping off the festivities will be a fire-works display from the top of the mountain.

Tickets for the event are $50 per person, including two drink tickets, or $40 per person for those under 21.

Accommodation and transportation arrange-ments are also available at special rates with local ho-tels. For information and tickets, visit www.skir-oundtop.com.

Publishing powerhouse Simon & Schuster an-nounced late last month the acquisition of a his-tory-making deal with probably the best known author in the world.

“We are pleased and honored to add the Lord Almighty to our list of no-table authors,” said Exec-utive Vice President and Publisher Jonathan Karp in a press release.

Yep, in late 2011, the world will get to read the new and improved word of God. The press release says the memoir will be semi-autobiographical in nature and this time around He “very much wants His words to be clearly understood, as opposed to ‘interpreted,’ which has gotten people into trouble in the past.”

Presumably, God is get-ting a little help from Da-vid Javerbaum, former ex-ecutive producer of “The Daily Show,” who is men-tioned in the press release as being represented by the same literary agency, and who also facilitated a Holy interview with En-tertainment Weekly’s on-line blog, Shelf Life (shelf-life.ew.com).

According to the press release, God will cover a multitude of subjects — even going all the way back to the Garden of

Eden, as well as evolution and the sports teams He really roots for.

I n t h e i n t e r v i e w with Shelf Life’s Keith Staskiewicz, God ex-plains why He chose 2011 to release His first work since the Old and New testaments.

“Lo, I grew weary of be-ing misinterpreted, and blasphemed, and relegat-ed to sneeze detail; and I longed to telleth all,” He said, “and it was a matter of urgency, for on April 23, 2013, I shall bring about on Earth an event of such cataclysmic … well, ye will have to read the book.

God has also created an official Twitter account (TheTweetofGod) in an effort to promote His new memoir. But don’t ex-pect God to care about your Tweets — that honor falls on one person: Justin Bieber.

While I’m sure some will call this new memoir blasphemous, I look for-ward to its release.

Based on his interviews and Tweets, God seems like a pretty cool guy.

Mini Reviews

“The Fighter” (Drama, R, 115 minutes). Colorful supporting performances help, but a vaguely defined lead diminishes the power you’d expect in this story based on a real fighter. Mark Wahlberg plays Micky Ward, Christian Bale is his goofy crackhead half-brother, Melissa Leo is his possessive mom, and Amy Adams is the barmaid who knows he’ll never get anywhere until he frees himself of his family. HH 1/2“Gulliver’s Travels” (Fantasy adven-ture, PG, 85 minutes). Not your average Jack Black movie. More of an innocent family adventure, filmed in a traditional style. Black, as a lowly mail clerk for a newspaper, finds himself in the land of Lilliput -- where he is first a captive, then a friendly giant, and finally a hero. With Em-ily Blunt as a princess, King Billy Connolly and Gen. Chris O’Dowd both rivals for her affection, and Amanda Peet as Black’s editor. Innocent fun. HHH“How Do You Know” (Romantic comedy, PG-13, 116 minutes). Reese Witherspoon plays a softball player who finds herself simultaneously without a team and with two men in her life. Owen Wilson is a millionaire pro pitcher, and Paul Rudd is a wheeler-dealer who faces prison because of misdealings by the firm of his father (Jack Nicholson). HH“True Grit” (Western, PG-13, 110 minutes). An entertaining remake of the 1969 film, and more, by Joel and Ethan Coen. Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn easily fills John Wayne’s boots, and Hailee Steinfeld is very special as young Mattie Ross, who hires the old marshal to help her hunt down the varmint that killed her old man. HHH 1/2“The Tourist” (Thriller, PG-13, 104 min-utes). A romantic comedy crossed with a crime thriller, shot in Paris and Venice, involving a glamorous mystery woman (Angelina Jolie) and a math teacher (Johnny Depp) from Wisconsin. Jolie rises to the occasion, but Depp plays the math teacher as a man waiting for the school bell to ring so he can go bowling. HH — Roger Ebert
