Early this year, we told you about the movement to make November 11, 2011 officially Nigel Tufnel Day.

Tufnel, of course, is a protagonist of This is Spinal Tap, beloved for his amp that goes to 11, making it, of course, "one louder."

And while we have fully supported this cause -- which includes a dedicated tumblr page and nearly 20,000 members in a Facebook group -- there's one problem.

With Friday fast approaching, no authority with the proper jurisdiction has taken the necessary steps to, in fact, declare it officially Nigel Tufnel Day. That is, until now.

Which is why, by the power invested in us by that big-bottomed spirit in the sky, we at West Coast Sound hereby declare this Friday, November 11, 2011, 11/11/11, to be Nigel Tufnel day.

This international holiday transcends all boundaries, both political and geographic. In the U.S., it runs concurrently with Veterans Day.

Governments the world over, therefore, are officially required to acknowledge that their citizens are in need of that extra push over the cliff. That a life turned up to 11 is the only one any of us are interested in living.

I'm honored, humbled & hardened by the outpouring of Tapiness. I would like to thank all the fans world-wide for all the kind words & a few of the nasty ones. You've all been lovely I've never been so touched-except for the '76 tour of Bang Cock with Bad News. We had a room full of groupies and I was extremely touched that night. Oddly, they all seemed to have rather large Adam's apples & never did take off their dresses. Strange...

What a disgrace to all those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I think you should remove this and pray proper respect to the men, women and children that gave their lives so that we may live in freedom!!!

You might've missed the part where they duly acknowledge that it is also Veteran's Day.
