This night is made for those who can appreciate the concept of dressing up as an art form; as a legitimate way to express creativity. This event has little room for the individual who is too cool to try out a new identity; so what if you’re that guy riding a blow up Frankenstein all night.
This is the annual Spirits and Skeletons Halloween Mixer at Houston’s Museum of Natural Science.
Costumes ranged from the expensive popular Master Chief with lighted helmet and gun to the homemade bacon costume consisting of brown butcher paper.
Have a drink and admire the ubiquitous flow of visually stimulating and comically paradoxical mixing of characters all while surrounded by nature’s ancient remnants. Don’t forget a splash of 80s well played by Molly and the Ringwalds.
This is the formula for a night well spent.
Take advantage of a holiday where it isn’t faux pas to stare at people.
Watch out for the tarot card readers. You really will hear the following: “you will go on a short trip” and maybe you’ll get a more specific reply such as, “you will have 3 (yes, 3) children.” Too be so lucky.
Interviewing the band’s idea of this Hallow’s Eve sport, I gathered that playing on the floor as opposed to a stage makes for some stressful music making. Good thing that Molly and the Ringwalds are more than accommodating with their sweet, sweet melodies sang and played without any noticeable fear of being rammed or felled on by a guy in a giant bunny costume.
Now that’s a mosh pit gone all sorts of awesome; giant bunny rabbit rams his fur into Master Chief while bacon woman gets trampled and a Storm Trooper crowd surfs.
Note to self: mosh pit equals the potential for fantastically entertaining memories.
Next year’s Spirits and Skeletons is already on my calendar. Hope to see you and be good to the Molly and the Ringwalds; they’re cool, collected and catchy.
