The Residents Blog, December 2008
The Residents' Blog was a news blog maintained by Big Brother of The Cryptic Corporation beginning in August 2003 (originally titled The Residents' Official News Blog and Website Wrapper, then The Residents' Official News BOG and later Official News Blog).
The BOG became The Cryptics' (and thus, The Residents') main outlet for communication with their fans until the website's redesign early in this month. At this point (at least according to the website's header after the redesign) the blog was simply called The Residents Blog.
This page collects posts made to this news blog in December 2008, as archived on archive.org, transcribed to this wiki by a Mysterious Spanish Lady.

- The Residents did survive the Euro tour. They even felt good about the way the show had played. Now they will take off for the holidays as they recuperate. Somewhere on a Greek island, you ask? No, I don’t think so. They were too happy to get back to California and some semblance of the normal.
