Halloween
On Tuesday night Harper and I went to a goth fashion show.. It was a good time, and there were some scary people.. The first hour or so was just a dance to old 80’s goth music..(it’s amazing how old some of these people are..) Then the show started. There was no runway, just a stage.. Three designers were showing theis stuff that night, and all of the shows involved lots of choreography and performance. The first had people acting like army folk beating metal trash cans with pieces of wood, to music like Orff’s Carmina Burana, among other things. The second was my favorite.. A video screen at the back showed handheld shots of churches and graveyards..the first models had umbrellas with sheets of clear plastic hanging down around them…they’d come out of the umbrella, do some stuff, and then stand at the side with the plastic hiding them. Then other models came out with weird clear plastic whip-like things and lashed them around..threw glitter all over the audience…stuff like that.. The last designer’s show was the most elaborate, even including some fairly athletic dancers and choreography.. It definitely lacked the depth I’ve grown accustomed to seeing in all the strange modern dances my sister does..I wasn’t particularly impressed.
On Halloween night there was a large festival on the green island thing in front of my apartment. Red Moon Theatre set stuff up along three blocks, closed roads and everything. There was a parade and then everyone hung around out front listening to bands, watching a fire twirling show, and seeing other weird things. Harper and I took our picture with a spooky man dressed as Jesus..he only wore a loincloth. Afterwards he asked us to retie the loincloth…we managed to escape first.. Apparently everyone sat down to eat at a table several blocks long, but we had gone inside by this time.
