this weekend was incredibly action packed. thursday night, jen and i went over to ashby's house for a four way pumpkin' carvin'. christine, ashby, jen, and i did up 5 different pumpkins... all of them rocked... we took pics...
friday jen and i got comped tix (thanks amber) to the alabama theatre for the rocky horror picture show halloween ball. very cool venue for this kind of thing. i've seen rocky horror on halloween all over the country, and this was the best production. amber got her camera stolen, only to later find the abandoned purse/ wallet of the thief. a trade was made early saturday. some people are so stupid. the rocky horror crowd...
i edited some more of the album. I'll probably be saying that phrase well into my 40's. went later to the nick where i hung out with what is coming to be defined as the "nick group." james, jody, his girlfriend, amber, judah and some others... until well after 5am.
saturday was comprised of sleep, shower, and then back to workplay at 8pm for the re-screening of the film "dead and breakfast", a locally produced "zom-com" (that's zombie comedy for you squares out there). it was funny, and showed a lot of skin. mostly bad skin. amber got me into that event as well. here's a pic... i'm behind james and his famous tan blazer...
we lasted at the workplay bar until a little after 11pm, surrounded by a myriad of suprisingly original halloween characters. the best costume of the night was the "v" guy. this nerd/dork/geek/dweeb manufactured an exact replica of the red/black thriller-esce uniform worn by the fashion challenged alien occupiers from the mid-80's mini-series / drama.
of course cheap vodka called and we were off to the nick again. the nick had about 150 people inside and a solid 100 people on the porch/deck thingy. that is massive for a place the size of a gas station. the cover band "spread eagle" led by a drummer/singer goth couple, actually pulled off some killer 80's cock-rock covers. the highlights were "18 and life", "hot for teacher" and a "great white" block. this is exclaimed by the fact that the band looked like a cure cover band.
things went well throught the night. i hung out at the sound board, got some free drinks, and chatted until after 5am. then after i cashed out, and my people were dispersing, i became enamoured with the concept of dropping empty beer bottles on the ground. then i had the bright idea of throwing one in the parking lot. now mind you, there had been a few hundred people outside all night, and there was a sea of litter, but what i did was moronic.
i got into some argument with the vacant sissy emo-kids and told them to get out of my face. judah got in on some of the action as well. i almost cracked one of their precious little indie-rock skulls.
...in closing, (if anyone is actually still reading this), sunday/halloween was spent sleeping, doing laundry and watching dawn of the dead '04 with her royal hotness. no drinking, no bs. it was actually quite pleasant. this week... i'm looking forward to the continuation of the us/arabic holy war. because hey, if you're gonna die, you might as well die for nuthin'.
