Show Journal 2004-10-31
Can’t believe it’s been a year since last year’s Halloween show in Longview. Despite being on a Sunday the show this year was pretty cool. We opted to dress as if we had come straight from the grave complete with dirty, torn suits, and of course the mandatory serving of blood. It was nice to see so many good costumes in the crowd. Admittedly if it weren’t for this band I probably wouldn’t have dressed up, so props to everyone who did. We’d played with most of the bands on the bill before so it was nice to share the evening with some familiar faces. Our set was fun but strangely chaotic due to the number of people on stage. We found out the hard way that there’s really not much room to move with people huddled all around you. It was cool seeing so many people sing along. All in all the show rocked. On a slightly more personal note, tonight was Jim’s farewell show. We’ve come a long way and done a lot of things since he’s been in the band so it’ll be a little weird to try and play music with anyone else. It sucks to part ways with your friends (from the band at least) but the real world keeps going and sometimes people gotta move on. Since you aren’t ever going to hear me on a microphone at a show, I’ll take this chance to say thank you to Jim for everything over the past few years.
