4. I didn't know that Jeff had an award named in his honor.

"We will also be presenting another JEFF MATSON AWARD at the event (possibly more than one). The JEFF MATSON award is presented to a person or persons showing outstanding excellence, talent and creativity in cabaret in the field of performance, musical direction, writing, songwriting, directing and/or graphic design. Cabaret lost one of its most creative talents when Jeff Matson passed away suddenly on April 2nd, 2005. Jeff was a songwriter, a writer, a director, a producer and a graphic designer, in addition to a strong supporter and friend of performers. Add to the list reviewer, because for far too short a time he served as a reviewer for CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE. "

5. A parody by Jeff Matson:

ANN COULTER
(To the tune of "(How Do You Solve A Problem Like) MARIA" from THE SOUND OF MUSIC)

SHE LOVES TO FIB
AND RILE THE LIBS.
HER SKIRT IS BARELY THERE.
SHE'S CHUMMY WITH SEAN HANNITY
WHO LOVES HER LONG BLOND HAIR
I HATE TO STOOP TO RUMOR
AND THOUGH THIS MAY BE UNFAIR:
I'VE EVEN HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAY SHE'S MANLY...

SHE'LL BROWN HER NOSE FOR BUSHIES
BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY HER FIRST
SHE'S FULL OF HATE FOR SWARTHY MALES
AND BEST WHEN AT HER WORST
SO SOMEONE HAS TO SAY IT
'CAUSE THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR
ANN COULTER IS A FASCIST OR A NAZI!

I'D LIKE TO ADD MY OWN LITTLE REBUKE
ANN COULTER...MAKES ME...PUKE!

HOW DO YOU STOP A HARPY LIKE ANN COULTER
HOW DO WE STOP THIS CLOWN AND SHUT HER DOWN?
WHAT KIND OF SLUR'S TOO MUCH FOR OUR ANN COULTER?
A 'SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY? A FEMALE DOG? A WHORE?

LOOK FOR HER LIES SHE HIDES THEM IN HER ENDNOTES
LOOK AT HER THIGHS, SHE'S FLASHING THEM AGAIN
BUT SHE'S SUCH A RIGHT WING TOOL
BELIEVING THAT HATE IS COOL
HOW DO WE FLUSH THIS COCKROACH DOWN THE DRAIN?

OH, HOW DO YOU STOP A SHREW WHO SPEWS SUCH VENOM?
OH, HOW DO WE END THE COULTER KIND OF PAIN?

WHEN SHE'S ON THE AIR I CLICK
OR HER SCHTICK WILL MAKE ME SICK
AND I'M TEMPTED TO IMPLODE THE TV SET.
SHE'S A FAN OF JOE McCARTHY
AND UPFRONT ABOUT HER BIGOTRY
SHE'S A DEMON! THE RIGHT'S DIVA! SHE'S ROVE'S PET!

PUT THE LEFT UNDER ARREST
AND ADMIT THAT BUSH IS BEST
OR SHE'LL THROW A PETTY TANTRUM THAT'S PROFANE
SHE'S NOT SUBTLE. SHE'S NOT WISE
SHE'S UNBALANCED. CHECK THOSE EYES!
SHE'S A SYMPTOM. SHE'S AN ILLNESS.
SHE'S INSANE!

HOW DO YOU STOP A HARPY LIKE ANN COULTER
HOW DO WE STOP THIS CLOWN AND SHUT HER DOWN?
WHAT KIND OF SLUR'S TOO MUCH FOR OUR ANN COULTER?
A 'SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY? A FEMALE DOG? A WHORE?

LOOK FOR HER LIES SHE HIDES THEM IN HER ENDNOTES
LOOK AT HER THIGHS, SHE'S FLASHING THEM AGAIN
BUT SHE'S SUCH A RIGHT WING TOOL
BELIEVING THAT HATE IS COOL
HOW DO WE FLUSH THIS COCKROACH DOWN THE DRAIN?

OH, HOW DO YOU STOP A SHREW WHO SPEWS SUCH VENOM?
OH, HOW DO WE END THE COULTER KIND OF PAIN?

Jeff wrote a well-recieved musical performed in New York called "The Question W Review"
