It's been another 4-day work week that just felt L O N G. I wonder why this is always the case? But it is Friday! We're going to see The Rocky Horror Show at Turtle Lane Playhouse. For the billions of times I've seen the movie live I've never seen the musical. I'm excited to compare. I do remember that it came to Boston in 93 or 94, and I had pulled a full-page ad for the show out of the Boston Phoenix to decorate my closet door in the dorm at Simmons (I lived there freshman year, commuted the last 3). My roommate was not a fan. I didn't have the means to go then and I've managed to miss any other groups performing, so I'm happy that I'm finally resolving this issue. There's another group doing the show at Oberon this month too.

We have an event tomorrow with http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ryder_Windham, who is a great Star Wars author (and all around great guy) out of Rhode Island. I'm borrowing a friend's maternity-style imperial officer jacket - this should be interesting. :) Details are here - give blood! http://www.provcomlib.org/calendarofevents.php?id=132928 We'll need to get the rest of our house packed and prepped to move out on Sunday.

Another first for us, we're finally checking out the http://www.rockandshock.com/ on Sunday for a bit. Brian is planning on wearing his Death Trooper around and we're hoping to grab some autographs. Being metal music and horror fans, it is a disgrace that we've never made it to this convention before. Spooky spooky weekend! We'll go home, pack up the cars and head to NH to settle in at my parent's house. I'll have to sleep there alone on Sunday night though, since Brian needs to be in Waltham early on Monday to meet the contractor.

I think once we get through this ordeal I am not making plans for a while. We have some weekend committments already (we usually do in October) and having free time to not have to do anything and just go with the flow will be appreciated.

I have never been to the Rock and Shock events before either! It always was a case of not having enough really interesting actors/bands that suit my taste! Looks like it will be better this year!

How crazy is this month? This week alone had Ceremony Monday; Uh Huh Her at the Paradise Tuesday while the goth kids went out to Haven, Wednesday there was Dead Maus, a show at Royale, the Lemonheads at the Paradise, Helmet at the Middle East and Excess; Thursday Pandora Boxx at Club Cafe; Friday is XMortis and Wild Flag is at the Paradise; Saturday Henry Rollins is doing a book signing at Brookline Booksmith.

I didn't go to all of those, but I went to the Lemonheads show Wednesday followed by Excess. Last night I went to meet the drag queen Pandora Boxx at Club Cafe and tonight I'm going to XMortis. Hopefully, I'll get out of work on time to see Rollins. Next week I am not going anything! Well, maybe I'll check out Anastasia's and Jedi's new night Superstition on Friday.

As an aside - I should be at Superstition and am planning on going on the early side, pending the demolition of this cold of D00M! If you want a lift to or from, let me know. In any event, I should be there tucked in the back corner. :)

You won't be alone! You'll have Mal and Jayne to snuggle! Well maybe just Mal. He'll probably never let B get into bed again! :P
