The Hotel Vernon Halloween Gig

So, the decision was made, if we are to dress in costume for a gig, what else could we be but PIRATES!!!
Course, some of us were more piratey than others

Arrrgh, the perils of the wide angle lens....
The Jolly Roger flew over the stage that night. Letting everyone know that we meant business. Pirate business!!!
Steve's wife Joy dressed as a little red devil, but we figure that even pirates must have worn other costumes once in a while. The way she's holding that camera goes a long way towards explaining why so many of her photos look like Savadore Dali paintings.
Speaking of Jolly Roger. Yes, Pirates also hang out at Ralphs.
Steve looked less like a pirate than a member of the Hatian drug culture...
And of course Ben went with the Tim The Enchanter pirate look.
It's this energy and commitment to performance that makes the Tornado Alley Horns so sought after.
Mike and KT were in the spirit, Greg looked more like a corporate raider, but I spose that's a kind of pirate too.
Roger blowing his own horn.
A great shot of the speaker
Queen Neffertiti shakes her groove thing in the background
Greg was wailing, I apparently have really bad skin.
Katies Parents sat looking at the stage and wondering how their lovely young daughter wound up in a band full of old codgers.
This picture just confuses me.
Yes, naturally Katie made us all look like idiots. Gonna dress like pirates? Why not go all the way.
Aaar, this get up made me want to walk her plank... ummmm... forget I said that
Steve had the commitment to his costume to have his eye replaced with a golden one.
Beauty and the beast?
OK, obviously this is a different gig...
We only got a few shots from this. That's Rich Buck in the background, our elusive new drummer.
and our elusive old horns
Katie screaming her little ass off while the rest of us apparently just stand around. She works so much harder than we do.
And the crowd was WILD!!!
