end times

Endings are in the Log-air these days: the end of Daylight Savings Time... the end of a certain era for Slothy... and, 2 nights ago, legendary rock gods Lesion played their last show after 9 years of genius creative output, much to the sadness of their devoted fans. The turnout was huge, the crowd was jacked up on beer and candy corn for the sendoff, and the band kicked out a BLISTERING set. But first they screened 2 of their hilarious movies, one of which has bit parts for Slothy and Mr. Sloth. Both films are great, but "The Sucking" is my all-time favorite, with Dr. Hurtz in a dual role as himself and the bloodthirsty Dr. Mufungo. Watch the trailer and listen for audio werkz by DJ Dekker.

We were given the task of videotaping the entire show, which prevented us from doing a lot of jumping around. Here is a video clip of my personal favorite song, "Giant," taken with our little Canon Elph. Apologies for the poor sound quality; the footage from the fancycam has yet to be edited.

Last night the fabulous Jakkee (seen here as Charlene from "Designing Women") threw an Everyone Loves Halloween party; I was originally going to wear my formal 'tard helmet and seatbelt restraints, but they're at the cleaner's. So I resurrected an old Land O' Lakes spokes-squaw costume and picked up some maize from Gristede's for a Corn Maiden effect (sorry for stepping on any corn toes out there...)

Word on the street is that pink is the new black, up is the new down, and beginning is the new end.

Speaking of, off I hither to NIPS...
