Halloween Festivities

I just got back from the Mermaid Lounge, my favorite club to see local music. Tonight was their annual “Masked Band Ball” where local bands dress up as other bands. Tonight was Pantapon Rose as The Swans, Krapp as Jesus & Mary Chain, Glorybee as 2 Live Crew, White Bitch as Public Enemy, Pink Floyd was performed by Shatner, & members of Paradise Vendors, Mal, Supercarters, and more as Led Zeppelin.

As usual, I forgot I had my digital camera with me until it was all half over – but I wasn’t into The Swans or Jesus and Mary Chain anyway – except for that one song J&MC did: Sometimes Always.

GLORYBEE as 2 LIVE CREW

What an amazing performance. :) I couldn’t believe I actually remember lyrics to the songs Pop That Pussy and Face Down, Ass Up. Glorybee is such a fun group.. I can’t wait to see them as themselves.




WHITE BITCH as PUBLIC ENEMY

Anyone who is into Public Enemy understands that Chuck D is THE MAN. White Bitch did an amazing job keeping up with the hard rhymer, although it’s kind of funny once you realise that half the crowd chanting “FIGHT THE POWER” are middle class white kids from Tulane.




SHATNER as PINK FLOYD

I love Marshall for two reason. Well, for more than two reasons, but two of them is because he’s the only guy I know that I like when he’s drunk. He slurs a lot, but he’s still able to point out that Shatner appeared to concentrate on pre-72 Pink Floyd. That’s the other reason.




RANDOM CUTE BOY with GLASSES

‘Nuff said.




And for those of you that care:
ME AS PAUL STANLEY from KISS

That’s all I have since Debbie poopied out on us and wanted to leave. Why do I always wind up riding with people who never seem to want to stay to the end? Oh well, no big deal – must.. drive.. myself…
