A nice Halloween, this one. Decided to go for the local party this time and ended up at the den of the Northeast Kingdom, a quick 3 blocks away. Love how I can walk down the street and end up in this totally midwest looking downstairs den. A friend's ex was playing drums in the band, which put on a good two sets, the first of which was a sleazy, 70's style porn throwback complete with a wah-wah and some slithery bass played by a drag queen. They have Yuengling out of a can, good portions of spicy beef jerky, and two meat pies, each order cost only $3 each. Deal.
Decided I had enough of that by the end of the first set and was getting itchy from all the facepoint. Thick oil on the face can't be good for my wimp ass skin. So I went home, took some final pics, and got cleaned up - to go back out and get in the middle of a construction zone that had 9 active cement mixers pouring concrete into my train station. Lots of awesome diesel noise, also some good blue collar new yorkers that came up to me: "what's the scoooah?" (yankees vs phillies game 3), "what's that foooah?".
Next day: sunny and awesome. Bottled up the Oktoberfest, so that's in line now. Appearance and smell alone gave me good hopes that this one perhaps came out better than the last batch, but now it's the part where we play the waiting game. The bitch! Afterwards, we headed down to Prospect Park, our first time since leaving the place. Totally gorgeous day for it, got there around 3:30 or so and just walked along trails we had never gone before. Spent some time feeding the ducks, geese, and swans, and got some excellent field recordings of them with my new Zoom H2. Made our way up to the northern part of the park and tossed the frisbee around during sunset, which was like 5:03pm - so dark so early. Good thing my frisbee glows in the dark, so we got some extra mileage there. Completely dark by the time we made it out of the park.
Got some pics from the weekend up on facebook.
And check out the ducks, geese and swans! There's some rippin' radimatudes in there, listen for the Prudence-like urp urp urps.

It's not every day that Pru gets a shout-out. Awesome!
You should play the track for her and she if she starts talking back!
