Happy Halloween, Bitches

Ambo had a very cool Rainbow Bright costume this year. It was pretty authentic (ie: not "Slutty Rainbow Brite") and looked awesome with her red hair.

I hadn't originally planned on wearing a costume, but I was finally talked into it by Ambo. We cobbled together the following bit at the costume shop:

• Lab Coat with "Proctologist" badge
• Pirate Hat
• Eye Patch
• Hook Hand
• Latex Glove

That's right, boys and girls: My Halloween costume was "Butt Pirate".

After work, we went to Buca di Beppo in Palo Alto for Sibrina's birthday dinner. We had to leave early to get to Great American Music Hall for the Alternative Tentacles show. We missed seeing Turn Me On Deadman (which was fine by me, they were OK but not great the last time we saw them). We were there in time to catch The Dicks who were opening for Jello Biafra & The Melvins.

It wouldn't be a Jello show without an asinine political diatribe, and we weren't disappointed. On the plus side, there was some asshole in the stage that was waving a "wand" (part of his costume) near the stage. Jello grabbed it and spent a good part of the song taunting the guy with it before giving it back.

The SF show was the only one in the tour that The Melvins didn't play a set of their own music. With the other bands playing there wasn't time for them to, but we were there to see The Dicks and The Melvins. I don't give a rat's ass about Jello Biafra.
