Halloween House 09

October 31, 2009

halloweenhouse09-day3

I brought Honey along to help guide tours!

Now where’s my head?!  Where’s the Devilman?!

I lost my stinking head in the maze!  and the Devilman got away.

But I found someone’s Driver’s License.  I guess I better get it back to them.

Converted ALL the halloween mix tracks to 128kps for smoother playback, to avoid annoying skipping/ artifacts/ dead air from 200+kps & stinking VBR. I will also avoid embarassment at future b-day parties when the music won’t play!  way to troubleshoot, Jusby! [It's still a mono system tho *ahem*]

86 Tracks totalled 4.2 hours… which continued even through the power failures.  As did the Green Laser!

However, it did require additional AAA batteries from Mike.

The tracks included: Arrington de Dionyso, Angelo Badlamenti, Eliot Smith, Baby Gramps, Bo Bell, Depeche Mode, Diamanda Galas, Dub Narcotic Sound System, Echo & the Bunnymen, Frank Zappa, Gabrielle Roth, Jugala Orchastra of Sunda, the Residents, and Gyoto Monks among many others.

Here’s a comment I got on Olyblog:

Thanks a ton
My young daughter (Wren) really appreciated your guided tour of the haunted house. She knew from last year that you led the less-horrifying tours. She’s a spunky kid in real life, but doesn’t like the buckets-o-gore of this type of show. Her best friends insist they absolutely looooove it, and torment her if she doesn’t go with them on the tour. So she has to go, even though she really doesn’t like it.

This year she sought you out discreetly (for a 10 year old) and attached herself to one of your tours. The un-clueful friends followed along behind her. They didn’t seem to notice EVEN THE TINIEST BIT that they’d missed the full-on horror treatment this year.  Afterwards, as the girls resumed trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, Wren dropped back from their pack to rave about what a big favor you were doing, how your abbreviated tour let her save face with her ghoul-tolerant friends for the first time, how smoothly you signaled the performers to let them know to hold back on the monstrousness… She went on for half a block, until her girlfriends interrupted us to tell me how SCARY the CLOWN GUIDE was.
Apparently you were terrifying. Congratulations. What a performance.

Inspiration at Rusty Cock Ridge (NWFC Day 4)

October 19, 2009

Francois had also wanted to buy a Giant Penny, but the vendor had run out.  I gave him mine, since he had paid $20 for my $5 pair of shoes.

The $5 Replacement shoes.

Then I sent Trish over to NW Costume to replace the size 20s with the next largest pair they had left: size 18s.  They should be big enough but more manageable in the act.

Then I took Orion over to Rusty Cock Ridge to replace the penny.  I wound up with so much more!

I bought a JUMBO Gold $20 coin as well.  Now I have a full set: Copper, Bronze, Silver, and Gold!

If you can’t earn a Gold Medal, buy some Gold Metal.

I also hit on the inspiration to connect Carolee with Sprout.  Carolee recently made the news with her synchronized swimming group, and Sprout recently earned a Gold for her synchronized swimming skit.  Carolee said the swimmers would be having a show in December, and I promised to connect them through facebook.  But, gosh, I don’t have a routine all worked up to coordinate with that.

Carolee asked me to publicize my services more.  Maybe somebody would want me to come to their Halloween party.  Maybe Rusty Cock Ridge would want to hire me… HUH? WHAT?  She would have to talk to the boss, but he was usually a push-over.  [She's married to him.  Who's really the boss?]

I sat down with some paper and drafted a proposal for their venue.    When the topic of price came up Orion was chiming in “By Donation!” WTF!  I had to gag him with one hand and say that it was negotiable.  I figure I could certainly accept a large percentage in trade since they have a lovely PHOTOGRAPHY business and BOUTIQUE!
