At some point, this blog will get back to having riveting content instead of being a place where I post show flyers and go on about what events I am attending. Until then, see you at Mohawk tonight for Flip Scene’s Halloween Bash!

A killer lineup, costume contest, and more!

You might as well put in for a liver transplant now. Beginning tomorrow there are wall to wall parties in this great city until we all take a collective breath on Monday, November 2. Here are my picks for the week, from invite-only Halloween parties to rock shows I hope to make it an epic week!
