Back again, fully recovered from NYC, just in time for Halloween celebrations! For kids Halloween has always been a fond memory, then you reach that weird stage where you are too old to trick or treat and you wind up being mischievous instead (still fun), and now, for the Sammies, we are in the semi-adult stage. That requires dressing up, either in something quite perverted and naughty, or something rather scary.
No longer do we roam the streets on bicycles, we take taxis to the bar. The bar in this occasion was Amos’s Southend for the annual CarnEVIL party held on 10/27/07(respond back if you know the band that has a song by the same name)!
Usually held at a warehouse or some rented facility this year it was at the newly revamped Amos’s and man, it was packed! No costume, no entry, which was cool. It’s neat to walk around with everyone decked out, and like I said, some of the costumes were down right funny. Dudes were walking around in ass-less chaps, girls in a slutty version of whatever you can think of, it was wild. Our good friends in Stone Figs played, make sure you check them out (www.myspace.com/stonefigs). I think they have some songs you can download for free on their myspace page, link above. Great, fun band! Anyway, there were other bands, another local called Drat played, and then there was a burlesque show, which I find entertaining although not very titillating.
Saw lots of friends, and it was fun to attend a party we didn’t have to play; kinda felt weird really.
Otherwise, myself and Don sat at the house on Halloween, handing out candy, trying to scare the kids. It’s fun to see all of the outfits, and sad to see the teenagers who come by, not dressed up, but still saying "trick or treat." We’ve got old Easter candy set aside for those bastards:)
Brief news: we started taking pics, possibly for the new album, with our friend Mike Hammer (www.mikehammerphotography.com). They are coming along nicely. Hammer-time did our Performer Magazine shoot and we have been friends ever since. Also, December 7th show just added in Charlotte with Black Lips @ Neighborhood Theater! That is going to be a damn good time. First one to respond and leave a comment on this post gets on the guest list; just leave your name, email, and a nice comment.
Happy Halloween!!!
