Halloween Party

What a weekend at the High Street Bar & Grill. Good times both nights but Saturday was especially fun. Lots of people were in costume, including the band. Yes, that's Doug in the little black dress - we didn't add a female vocalist.





We've not had the dance floor this full here before. A lot of people were out for a good time this weekend. We dusted off our traditional Halloween song, "Monster Mash". Thank goodness we won't have to do that again for another year. At Mike's suggestion we learned another vaguely Halloween type tune. It was originally done in the sixties by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs and has recently been redone by Bowling for Soup. "Little Red Riding Hood" could be a keeper. You might hear us play it again soon.

Steve kept busy giving away lots of prizes. There were free drinks, tee shirts and sweatshirts, and probably some other stuff I didn't hear about because I was busy taking pictures. Oh yeah, this is the place for the plug for our Photo Album. You'll find more pics from this weekend there.




As expected, there was a costume contest, judged by the audience. I think the kinky nurse won. There were quite a few hippie costumes with very impressive wigs, worn mostly by people who probably wished they still had that much hair.

Halloween on High Street

We're all set up for this weekend at the High Street Bar & Grill. This guy looks ready too, but I think he's spent a little too much time at the bar. Saturday night is costume night, so be sure to dress creatively. If there are enough people in costume we'll start a new section of the Photo Album and post some pictures.


We had a lot of people there when we did our sound check. That seems to be happening a lot lately, I'm not sure why. The shorter days and cooler weather put more people in the bars so maybe they're just getting an early start on the weekend. Or maybe it was just the pumpkin. Anyway, it does make sound check more fun.


Janessa was kind enough to pose with the skeleton. If you're disappointed that I didn't make any jokes involving the word bone you'll just have to make up your own and post it as a comment!
