All Dressed Up and Someplace to Go

Last Night I Dreamt, that somebody loved me....If you missed our Morrissey/The Smiths Night at the Lamp Post, well you missed it. It was a brooding you shouldn't have missed. Thanks to Cootah for coming up with this one. And thanks to DJ Snack Attack and Caligula for making it come through. Tonight My Roommate DJ William McCamie playsat Bar 13.

With Morrissey crying in a corner, at Hammerstein Ballroom, we should turn our attention to another tragedy. And that would be the fact that I still don't have a costume and it's Halloween weekend. Rock Soup Studio's is having a Masquerade Ball at 660 Grand Street tonight. Tomorrow Night, Toy Eaters is Hosting the Ghost of Uncle Joe's Party. With all of the shit that has gone down over the last month, the multi faceted Super Karaoke Fun Time Band is stepping in to fill play the Black Stooges. Shell Shag was unfortunately unable to serve us the Ramones. So if you know of the ultimate cover band send them our way. Doors are at about 8 pm. BYOB OK. I've heard that some of the old school Uncle Joe's kids will be at the Cork Screw on Saturday Night as well.

Tonight, the SKFTB is at the Corkscrew and on Halloween Night, they will be at the Lamp Post dressed as the Kinks. Check out their play list here and come dressed as your best Pat Benatar, or David Lee Roth, or Mac McCauglin (Superchunk). There will be prizes for best dressed, best performance, and most horrific.

Speaking of performances, this will be the last weekend to see Maladjusted at art house , tonight could actually be a triple play evening, because you can see the accumulation project, which closes this weekend and also see and extra scary spice Late Night Curiosities at art House this evening. Bring a change of underwear so you can wet yourself freely. Babyhole's Melissa Surach performs (most likely partial clothed - she says it's relief for the heat of performing) . Babyhole also has a Hollweened affair this Tuesday at Toyeaters. I will be judging the Mr. and Ms. Killtown Contest. It's a combination of talent and drinking. I guess it's like pool or darts but with less of an emphasis on scoring ?

If you haven't picked up an outfit, try Another Man's Treasure or World of Style. For something, creepy, cheesy, or sleazy. They'll have you covered. !! World of Style has a live mannequins on Saturday from noon to 2pm.

On the music side, The Grass Roots Art Facility has some live music this evening, There is a Halloween Loft Party with the Coffin Daggers in Hoboken on Saturday and The Plastic Passion Band slips into a coma on Sunday Night at the Knitting Factory. And starting off the woek week, the Ukaladies play the Rodeo Bar.

Okay: I saved the art stuff for last. This Saturday is Newarks's Art Studio tour weekend. Tonight Henry Sanchez has an opeing in Newark. In fact there's a bunch of art stuff in Newark this weekend. check out the City Without Walls Site for more info on the weekend. And last but nit least is teh closing party for Earthscapes at the Mary Bensen Gallery, it presdessor is listed below.

Here are the specs:

Hey friends!The Ukuladies (with me, Heather Warfel as Cousin Bunnie) are playing at the Rodeo Bar in the East Village on Monday night...
It's the start of our big tour! October in Manhattan, November in Brooklyn, and December 7th in Jersey City!!!
MONDAY, OCTOBER 29th - 9pm and 10pm. (2 whole sets!!)
THE UKULADIES!
http://www.myspace.com/theukuladies
The Rodeo Bar
375 3rd Avenue
http://www.rodeobar.com/
212-683-6500
Audience sing-a-longs? Cheap champagne? Balloon animals? Delicious bacon? What more could you want? The Ukuladies are a perpetually touring sister and tap-dancing-cousin act from Winnipeg, Canada with a lust for life and its idle curiosities. The Ukuladies are fraternal twins Genevieve (banjo uke, voice, toy piano, glockenspiel, penny whistle, and kazoo), Jimmy Lou (uke, voice, violin, saw, kazoo), The Nearly Reverend Mary (uke, voice, kazoo, cow moos), and Cousin Bunnie (tap, interpretive dance, toy accordion, party favors and antics). Come and join the "ladies" as they share cowboy love songs, Hawaiian hits, Ruth Wallis medleys, George Fornby favorites, and originals tunes! Manhattan User's Guide says:
"Beauties playing ukes and singing while another does tap dancing, percussion, and props. Last night, they distributed at various times bacon, frosted cookies, scratch-off tickets (I won $4), and champagne (for the "Tiny Bubbles" finale). Check. Them. Out."
