the period from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve, where anything you do has to be to the fullest and no rules apply. Eat, drink and be merry daily, and worry about your liver, your bulging waistline, and your job and other commitments in the remaining dark days of winter.
As an added bonus, living so excessively in this time period gives you the perfect New Year's resolution - just stop being so irresponsible!
Johnny: I went out until 3am Tuesday night, slept through two meetings, came to work at 2pm and left at 5pm for happy hour, where I ate the entire appetizer sampler platter for 4 by myself.
Chris: Aren't you worried about your job? Or your health?
artshow by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, commonly abbreviated as GLXS
came out in two separate shows:
Glorious Excess (Born), held in 2008 (July 12 til August 3) in JANM (Japanese American National Museum) in LA
Glorious Excess (Dies) held in 2009 (August 30 til October 4) at the same location
The show is about a unnamed character (depicted as skeleton) who is famous for nothing, but very good at it. Part one shows his rise, part two his fall.
The time period between the year 2000 and 2009, before the great recession, when the majority of North Americans lived way beyond their financial means.
"Flipping houses was so much more profitable in The Excess 0's."
"Back in The Excess O's I drove a double-deckerHummer; now I ride the bus."
