Neumo-ween.

On Saturday we ventured back to Neumo's for a Halloween Bash. There were so many great costumes! Our favorites included a cupcake, Disgruntled Ronald McDonald, Evil Bert, a Space Needle(!), and an incredible Twinky the Kid. DJ Shortnin regaled us with a great dance mix of "80s to now" stuff, including the immortal "Thriller" and other nuggets.

The big draw for this show was local party-dance act United State of Electronica. This 7-piece band was completely over the top, featuring singalongs like "Emerald City" (gratuitous Seattle shout-out), "Party People", and "Throw Your Hands in the Air". The place went absolutely crazy, and rightly so: the band was a tour-de-force of musical hedonism.

We spent tonight kneeling at the altar of Franken...Al, that is. The man himself swept through town for a speaking engagement at Town Hall. We walked away wondering why you'll never hear a Democrat ask a Republican "What do you Conserve?", as posed by one audience member. It certainly makes you think...
