10 Bux.

This was a fun ass time. Trip Daddies were really good and very tight 3 piece. I'm liking Hellfire Revival more each time I see them. Of course, HBC tore it up as usual, but the big surprise was how kick ass the Misfits set was. That should happen more often. And it would probably help with Geoff's need for a punk rock fix.

Man I had a blast last night! wish more of the ODPs woulda come out. The Misfits set was so much fun! I totally blew my voice. I could barely talk this morning. We just might do it again if the right circumstance comes up and matt is up for it. Ethan and I are already planning a Clash tribute in the next few months, and maybe descendents after that. who knows, but it sure was a great time!

HOLY SHIT! iT SOUNDS LIKE FUN...

but it still feels good to have the best misfits cover...

what a fun show...
ronnie wins for best disturbing costume this year hands down.

Wow...that show was a lot of fun. It was my first time seeing the Tripdaddys and Hellfire Revival. They were both great..and the Tripdaddy's cd is pretty bad ass. Hillbilly Casino was awesome...but I think the Misfits set blew them all away. Hearing some Misfits on Halloween is a must for me...but seeing them play all those songs was the fucking best. The crowd got pretty wild, and everyone was singing along, it was great!

Ronnie's costume was truly disturbing, but I think the best fx makeup I saw all Halloween season was Mike Sims's costume. That shit sticking out of his face was cool!

I shot some video and am working on getting it uploaded.

Much appreciated. The cool thing is that all the actual makeup part on my stuff was just one of those little packages with the little squares of grease paint in 'em. Throw in some cool prosthetics from the Halloween store and Perfomance, some blood gel and some fake blood and ya got a zombie. Next year I'm going for something more like an alien or demon. Its all according to what prosthetics I can get. I wanna do something that makes people go, "Damn! How'd he do that?"

Thanks for the high praise, Mike H/WDWM... and for getting the video uploaded. We also have video of the whole show, though we don't yet have a firewire cable for the camera--and our video has extra backups courtesy of my son who was filming...

The video is posted? Did I miss the link?

I think it's Mike's--Geoff posted links to it on Facebook (!):

Hell yeah..I got some video of each band that played. I still have to upload some of Hellfire revival, but here's some more video from that night.

It makes my heart hurt I missed this... I couldn't get there in time.

How'd your recording go?

It was great (besides the fact recording is a pain in the ass in general). The guy recording us was dressed up like The Dude and was dancing around like a hippie... it was pretty hilarious. Plus all the beautiful vintage equipment I got to toy with was a plus. Still waiting on the tracks though..

Matt, I totally had a blast doing that gig with you! I really want a copy of the full show too! I think that an encore performance might be in order sometime soon. I know Ethan and D both had a blast.

We could always try to set up something at the Boro late December 1... though if I can't shake this goddamned cold or flu or whatever the hell I've got I may never sing again... guess I'm gonna break down and call the damned doctor. It's been two weeks now.
