Halloween Weekend, 2010

Friday was a success!!
While running around attempting to find the last bits and pieces of my halloween costume, I found my ID!! My costume went over well at work, my coworkers were duly impressed with my makeup skills, and I didn't frighten any children (awwh =[ )


I got to Lyve plenty early to hang out and chat with everyone. I did my rounds, got my hugs, and scoped out the awesome costumes. There were some really RAD costumes. I got a fair bit of attention, too. I looked pretty cute, if I dare say so myself. I'm actually in some pictures!
Five Years Further played a great set, with some guest appearances from various costumed members of other bandso n the bill. It was pretty sweet and they had the crowd going pretty damn well!!


After Lyve, I scooted over to the Pawn Shop. Due to having found my ID, Pete did not need to sneak me in. However, when I got upstairs he was loitering by the door and was disappointed that he didn't have too. So he challenged me to a race to the back door. I beat him by a longshot! I got in without cover and he lied to a bouncer and said I was selling merch for the band. Teehee!
I ran around and visited with everyone, spotted even more spectacular costumes. Audio/Rocketry played a stellar set and got everyone pumped for The Weekend Kids.
By the time TWK got on stage everybody was drunk and going crazyy!
There was some pretty intense moshing, and somehow I wound up with a giant rattle that I was smashing against the stage in lieu of clapping along..
I love a good mosh, I just wish people would pay a little bit more attention to people with big fancy cameras.


Tonight I went too see Ides of Ruin at Brixx. They were fantastic, and Aaron fell over onto an amp halfway through the set in a pricelessly gracefull way. But unfortunately mother found and took my camera again. I can't handle this.
This is seriously driving me nuts.
But I'll get it back.. And hide it better next time I guess..

This girl was dressed as an owl!

Impromptu bathroom photoshoots? Hell yes.



Lex had a sweet mask.

Cam changed onstage. I literally blinked and he was a woman. The other guy was a new mother. He didn't have his baby strapped to his leg at this point though.

JJUMMP!

I think Halloween is a great time for photoshoots with strangers.
