halloween @ the chat room

made our first-ever visit to the chat room last night. while the j'int was packed to overflowing for the evening's festivities, it seemed like a congenial li'l neighborhood spot in the manner of that-place-we-can't-go-anymore (sigh), and we vowed to visit again on a "normal" night for a post-benito's drank. caught the tail-end of cadillac fraf's set, on which he appeared to have had backing from matt skates, scott griffin, and jon teague (who was still playing synth while wearing one of those chinese restaurant waitress dresses and elvira wig). then heard a thunderous set by the fully costumed great tyrant (and saw jon's riddim section mate tommy atkins laugh onstage for maybe the first time ever -- he should keep the black roman emperor getup for reg'lar shows, too, i'm thinking). had to cut out before the panther city bandits played 'cos it was a school night for my sweetie, but we'll have to catch them another time. saw lotsa wreckroom peeps and market co-workers, too. all in all a good night, and managed to get home in time to gulp excedrin and forestall yet another incipient skull-splitting headache. hooray!
