Grievance Airing Open Thread of the Day: Rock Island’s Downtown Arts & Entertainment District announced this week that in addition to (instead of?) Christmas, it will also formally recognize the holiday of Festivus for the first time.
Tonight, as part of a promotional celebration, The District’s various bars and businesses will host a range of activities commonly associated with the secular Seinfeldian holiday.
An “unadorned aluminum pole,” sponsored by the latex division of Vandelay Industries, will be placed at the corner of 18th Street and 2nd Avenue.
The traditional Festivus Feast of meatloaf will be offered to patrons of the Blue Cat Brew Pub.
And special “Grievance forms” for the customary “Airing of Grievances” will be made available at various locations throughout The District. Completed Grievance forms will be entered in a drawing for special Festivus prizes (hopefully none involving the Human Fund).
No word on where the annual Feats of Strength are set to take place, but I imagine that, after a full night of bar hopping, there will be plenty of people willing to accept your wrestling challenge.

While Rock Island celebrates its first Festivus, the rest of us can air our grievances below.
