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!!! |
