Halloween Panic
As enticing as all the costume contests and big cash prizes were here at the bars in SA, I have to say, “No, San Antonio I refuse to have Halloween without good, quality live music.
So, I took my “hairy banana-hammock guy” fat suit to Austin. Went and saw Widespread Panic at Austin Music Hall… awesome set. The stage was set up with a huge, sparkling backdrop of a town-square/castle-like setting with a ghoulish pipe-organ that spewed out smoke. They played covers from Nirvana, ZZ Top and the Meat Puppets.
Almost everyone had a costume and I think I may have seen one of the most disturbing ones yet. At first all I saw was a guy in a black shirt with a little boy stuffed doll’s arms wrapped around his waist (head strategically placed right in front of his crotch). At first we didn’t see the priestly white strip in his collar and we thought, “Wow, that is probably one of the most effed- up costumes I’ve ever seen!” But then we saw the white and some how it made it ok. Haha, geez what is this world coming to?
