I volunteered at Voodoofest this year on Halloween day and Nov 1st. I went to some awesome rock concerts (Gogol Bordello, Walter "Wolfman" Washington, Jane's Addiction, Wolfmother) while dressed as this bafoon of a viking. The only downside is that it's hard to headbang with a hard-hat turned Viking Skullshield on. I modified it later that day to have a little strap that keeps it from falling off during dramatic movements. Oh and to explain the huge sandwich--It's a muffaletta, a New Orleans style giganta-wich which is meant to be cut into fourths. Italian meats, olives, oils, spices, etc. It's not meant to be eaten alone.

On Nov. 1st I saw the Flaming Lips, and the Meat Puppets. They were both life changing shows. I recommend everyone at least giving the Flaming Lips a good serious listen, and if you like them, to see them live-they are really really really fun.

I'll be sure to post more pictures as I get them. I'm a little sad I can't come back for Thanksgiving (I'm given that Thursday and Friday off and I could request off the Wednesday... but I would have a hard time paying for the trip up and back down. I miss everyone very much.
