Ok Kids. It is now November and Halloween went great. We went to Salem on Saturday and it was a blast, and Monday we went to The Dresden dolls Halloween show. I have lots of pictures, so I will just fill in around them.

We will first start out with me. I think my costume turned out well. For those of you who don't know, I dressed up as V from the Graphic Novel and soon to be movie called "V for Vendetta".

Ah, and now on to the Dolls show. Fabulous people and Fabulous Costumes. The group that follows around the Dresden Dolls and acts and performs for the benefit of all out of the goodness of their hearts are known as The Dirty Business Brigade(Named after a Dolls song). I love the Brigade and regret not being outgoing enough to be more of a major part of it. Oh, by the way, all of the following pictures where taken by other people and I "accumulated" them from the Dresden Dolls Forums. Thanks to all.

Quite a few of the Brigade look "relatively" normal.

Of course there where some living statues (This Girl wasn't at the Boston show, but I thought this picture was so good I had to add it)

This woman had ribbons from her hands and feet and when she movied they flowed with her

I was most amazed by the performance that this girl put on. She balanced and spun this glass orb on her hands so that it looked like it was difying gravity.

And of course there where some Faeries....

This woman was my favorite. She would only scare and glare at people, and if no one was paying attention to she would scream with the most amazing high pitched wail

The first actual act of the show was a burlesque "Little Red Riding Hood". She ended up cutting out the wolves heart and eating it. Apparently though this girl went to my high school and actually was the daughter of the music teacher. Small world eh?

The first band that came on was Via Romen. I believe the anouncers said that they where actually Gypsies(but I'm not sure if that was just flair. They where very good)

Then came Faun Fables. A singer and guitar player who had a beautiful hypnotic voice.

Now, the anouncers where Circuis trained performers. The woman was bald and juggled wigs at one point. She also hung from large streamers from the ceiling during the Gravity song. Then they did the most amazing performance with a large Hula Hoop. They spun and twirled and did all sorts of acrobatics while they did that.

The third Band was DeVotchKa. Very amusing band with Russian style music.

The whole concert was amazing, and I have been buzzed by it for the last week. Well Since then, nothing else much has happened. I've gone out quite a few times this week, but it was mostly just pool and movies. Well, I'll talk to you all later. Have a good week.

::Apparently someone actually called an ambulance, because we where shut down. Amanda just laughed::
