Halloween 2009: Queering the Holiday

Halloween was alright. Probably one of the best I’ve had in recent years – both Friday and Saturday I picked one event and stuck to it, more or less, which reduced the stress I usually have by trying to pack as much fun into a night as possible. I inevitably end up disappointed, that way.

Friday night I shot photos at The Bourbon for Premature Ejackulantern – the second annual pre-Halloween show put on by Run With The Heard, also featuring the talents of The New Values and Fake Shark – Real Zombie! I’m really pleased with my photos from the show; I think they’re some of the best show photos I’ve ever taken. To see all 191 photos, check out the Facebook album I posted.

That night, I dressed up as Tank Girl, and when I showed up, found two others – so we ended up crashing the stage during the group costume contest as Tank Girl, Sub Girl and (me) Jet Girl. It was pretty epic. I hope someone took a photo. I haven’t found one yet.

Saturday night I went out to the Biltmore to see Fan Death. I didn’t bring my camera, which was probably a good call, but I did take a bunch of photos beforehand. I was James Dean, queering up the fifties in drag. It was pretty awesome, actually.

All in all it was super fun. I’ve been posting tonnes of photos on Flickr lately.
