October 2010
I went to White Castle
dressed as The Hamburglar and creeped up on people outside the windows.
But I never found Colonel Sanders.
So I was talking to a Velma, just after I’d met a group of 5 Snookis, who introduced me to Daphne and Freddy and the lumberjack who didn’t want to be Shaggy. “Where’s Scooby-Doo?” I asked. They told me he dressed as Ronald McDonald.
No Way!! I need to meet Ronald McDonald!! I’m the freakin’ Hamburglar over here!!
Just then a random Scooby-Doo passed by...
Highball was just amazing.
This city knows how to do Halloween right. They block off the street and have a Halloween themed street fair over by the bars. It goes for forever and theres a bazillion people. Everyone in costume and all the costumes are good. I didn’t take many pictures because pictures couldn’t capture the magnitude of it.
Washed off the dark spots
from the preliminary round of Halloween celebration.
What didn’t wash off were bruises.
The ones that came off after soaking in the tub were stamps from bars.
Highball Halloween! →
It’s started!!
Nothing very interesting happened tonight.
The only bars I seem to have found having contests with cash prizes pretty much were places I would never actually want to spend time in. I probably should have stayed in and gone to bed early since tomorrow is a big day but I couldn’t resist putting on the costume and testing the improvements I made.
Which included pinning the wig to my head and then the hat to the wig so none of it flies...
Cash Prizes
Now I’m remembering what its like to win costume contests, I’m greedy for more. Theres lots of places to go tonight but I’m looking for cash prizes now.
BTW this dude turned out to be the judge
Dude: Are you a witch?
Dawn: No!! I'm the Hamburglar!
Dude: Oh good, cause I was gonna say youre one messed up lookin' witch.
Sexy Hamburglar got a lot of phone numbers.
Frankly, this disturbs me.
May as well start Halloween!
Got home around midnight, jumped into my costume to give it a test run down at Skully’s Ladies 80’s costume party. Figured I’d missed the contest entirely but it’d still be worth it to go down and see if my costume holds up to dancing. Which it did, quite nicely but there’s a few things need to be pinned down still.
I got there at about 12:30 and the DJ said the...
So I went to Suicidal!
I got there and the place was packed! With some big, hard looking dudes too! And I thought to myself, well I’ll just stay back in the back out of the way once the crazyness gets started.
House lights go down, The intro to “You Can’t Bring Me Down” starts and somehow I was in the front. Just like that.
The mosh pit wasn’t so bad as it looked. Lots of dudes with...
What I did tonight....
If my posts seem confusing thats because I’d decided to go to this big huge f**k-off fetish party thingy that they have once a year that people keep telling me is awesome. But tix were like $20.00 and I’m not really into fetish stuff. I just like clothes.
I was looking at tweets and facebook posts trying to convince me that it’ll be as good as everyone says when I actually...
My protest is over.
Never did come to any agreement with RTB who basically just made me upset again everytime we tried to work out something. I asked him to name a price and buy my work. He wanted me to pick a price. I just don’t know how much to charge for 5 years of my life and what used to be an important friendship.
New album drops tomorrow. Which comes sooner in Europe. I don’t want to do damage...
I'm just pissed off
They’re doing it now and I’m at work and I don’t get to give out candy or look at cute costumes.
Actually I think I saw a sign in my neighborhood that said Sunday so there’s still hope.
In MY day...
Kids trick or treated on Halloween. Who changed that and why?
Oh yeah and i can't wear makeup
I’m good for Halloween cause my costume has a mask, but my eyes are swollen still/again from I don’t freakin’ know what. Everytime I think I find the thing, that’s not it. Which may be good news if I ever heal because it doesnt seem to be the pink eyeshadow any more than any other product.
What am I talking about?
Oh right. Not sure I want to go to a Metal gig w/no...
But I want to be cool NOW.
Suicidal Tendencies is playing tomorrow. It costs too much and I don’t even know if anyone’s even in that band anymore because I quit paying attention some time ago.
I refused to go to the “big 3 out of 4” show (Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth) a few weeks ago on the grounds that these are bands I thought were all overrated by about 1990. Oh yeah and I saw them before then, so...
Suicidal Tendencies - You Can't Bring Me Down -... →
“This ain’t no Mr. Roger’s neighborhood!”
Now that I don't HAVE to be on the internet...
I’m finding all sorts of reasons not to be on it all the time.
Who knew I could be like that?
Not sure it will stick.
Not sure if I want it that way or not.
But real life is fun too.

As a skeptic and a media critic I love John C. Dvorak and I couldn’t resist listening to his No Agenda podcast with Adam Curry, who I have long-term mixed feelings on. But despite the conspiracy theory, I think I get the most accurate news reporting from these guys, who’ve warped my thinking in both good and bad ways. Trick is to take the analysis they do and draw your own conclusions....
Creative Urges Return
Things may not have gone down how I would have liked w/me and RTB but the truth is that it had all degenerated some time ago to a place where my original creative vision had gone unrealized years ago for lack of support and there was nothing I could do about it but let it go.
Then all of a sudden everyone fancied themselves an expert and wanted to jump in and discuss and decide upon old and...

– Dawn on Record Stores
Time Warp
So I went to this record store and I was shocked to find the kids looking through the same exact bins of the same exact records that were in the record store back in the day when I used to go to record stores. Guess that never gets old.
Meanwhile my phone holds about the same amount of music.
and is a phone.
and a camera.
and an internet device.
and GPS.
Record Store?
Phone: ::::Ring Ring::::
DawnOwar: Hello?
Dude I know: There's bands playing at the record store! You should come down!
DawnOwar: What? Record Store? They still have those?
Dude: Where do YOU buy records?
DawnOwar: That's what the internet is for!
Dude: Internet? What is that? I'm not familiar with this thing you speak of.
DawnOwar: It's a place where you go to get music and find out what your friends are eating for lunch.
Dude: Interesting.
