We know Halloween competition is stiff, especially when it’s on a weekend — we are from the country and can recall actual Halloween being moved to a weekday when it was technically on the weekend, so as to theoretically reduce destruction and shenanigans; this is the same hometown that banned Simpsons shirts from school once — so here’s a potential highlight:
“For The Dead”October 31 with The Grateful Undead (Phil Sedore + Erin Costelo + Benn Ross + Lukas Pearse), Amelia Curran as Edith Piaf + Don Brownrigg as Frank Sinatra + Tanya Davis as Karen Carpenter + Erin Costelo as Nina Simone + John Mullane as the Ramones + Daniel Ledwell as John Denver + Dave Scholten as Nick Drake + and Jenn Grant as Patsy Cline.
Sounds like a highlight of the year, no big deal. Shit be going down at the North Street Church at 9pm. Get your tickets at Lost and Found or at the door if they’re still available.
