I'm actually rather envious of a lot of you this upcoming Halloween. There
is so much going on in town, so many reasons to dress up and go have fun,
and instead of being able to enjoy this time with all of you, I'll be at a
friend's wedding. Still fun, but I'll miss being able to wear a proper
costume.

Katie O'Leary's is going to start the party early, and will have the band
Side F/X playing on Friday, October 30th. There will be a costume party
with prizes, so be sure to wear your most creative costume! They're the
only place in town that will be having costume contests on Friday and
Saturday, so if you're going trick-or-treating with the kids on Halloween,
you still have an opportunity to go out with your friends. Also on Friday,
PJs Tavern is going to have their "DJ at PJs" night, and the band Dr.
Salty will be playing at Club 57. Dr. Salty touts themselves as an
"American Rock & Roll Band" and they actually play (mostly) original
songs. The vocalist is clear and pleasant, and the music has a good beat.
They have a classic, maybe Aerosmith-esque sound.
On to Saturday, October 31st, which we all affectionately know as
Halloween. Frankie's Boys will be playing at Katie O'Leary's, and they
will be having another costume contest, with prizes! I hear that Frankie's
Boys play bluegrass/blues, and are a local favorite. I have yet to hear
them, but I'm interested. Also on Saturday is PJs Halloween Bash at PJs
Tavern with DJ Screammin' Productions and a costume contest with CASH
PRIZES, their website declares. Finally Club 57 will be hosting their
Halloween party (Costumes? Prizes? Their website doesn't say, but I'd
assume as much) and the band 6 Wheel Drive will be playing. They describe
themselves as "modern country rock," which to me does not sound all that
promising. Then seeing that they cover artists like Keith Urban and Little
Big Town made me lose interest completely. Still, I thought I would take a
listen to some of their tunes, and clicked on their myspace link.
Unfortunately, there were no tracks uploaded. So you'll have to use your
best judgment and imagination on that one.
Also on Saturday, the Schmoejoes will be playing at Barden's Bar. Their
website claims that they will be having "Spooky Shot specials, and
Terrifying Tap beer." Barden's has a costume contest as well, and they say
that their prizes are the best in town, but without knowing what those
are, how can we tell? I guess we just have to take their word for it.
Still, it's good to support the Schmoejoe's as they are an exciting,
local, original band. They have a great stage presence, and their banter
with the crowd is witty and original.
Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback and kept in contact with me,
so I can keep my updates as info-filled and accurate as possible!
One last question for you: What costume will you be wearing this weekend?
If I were able to, I'd be dressed as Alice from the game Shadow Hearts. If
you don't know what that is, feel free to do a google "image" search and
you'll see what I mean. So what/who will you be for Halloween?
