The B51 crew once again donned the beige flightsuits and hit the town to busts some Halloween ghosts. This time, however, the proton packs were 100% complete well before: it was nice to not be sleep deprived or have to worry about drying paint.
An awesome last hurrah for Chris & I, who moved out the day after.
…and hopefully movin up too.
But I shot this pano of my room before packing it all up to go West. Thought it was pretty cool.
This is my friend Michael P’s band.
They rock, and are playing every
Thursday this month at the Trash Bar.
Come on out for some great music and free tots! Booyah!
With everyone’s help, the packs were finished* just in the nick of time, and the B51 Ghostbusters** rolled out for some Halloween barhopping in Manhattan.
Our proton guns shot silly string, and the packs contained candy. Mine also had a set of speakers which played several versions of the theme song.
The night was a blast even though we missed a promised TV appearance and several costume contests. People all over cheered, sang, and danced when they saw us, and we were stopped for many pictures. A cop even lamented that he’d rather have our proton guns since he’s can’t shoot the one he has anyway.
* The packs aren’t really done yet. They look great, but need a few more pieces, some wires, and of course, more paint. Still, they served their purpose quite well. These things will be 100% done for next year. 😉

Come on out, it should be a fun night!
Best. Show. Ever.
Going into this, I heard a lot of hype. I heard that people who weren’t even Daft Punk fans (yet somehow went?) described it as a “religious experience”. Personally, I’d not call anything short of playing shuffleboard with Jesus a religious experience… but I certainly get where those folks were coming from.
Awesome show… certainly the best I’ve been to. (though if I could have somehow attended the Pink Floyd: The Wall tour, then this would possibly fall second)
Anyway, here are some clips that I managed to shoot in between frantic dancing and screaming. Enjoy.
PS: the video above, while reasonably good for web streaming, is half the quality of what it really should be.
(plus, this is just more fun to watch on your TV or iPod)
