One of my most pleasant Halloween traditions.
Go to Walmart late at night, unshaven and unwashed, in dirty jeans.
Get a packet of razor blades, some apples and some candy
Choose the oldest, crustiest checkout chick
Smile evilly.

This Friday - new Feral Chihuahuas show
If any of the approved posters at blogasheville don't mind, a cross-post would be cool.
Hot off the heels of a successful two-night run with the Rebelles, the Feral Chihuahuas are back at it with a better late than never Halloween extravaganza at 35 Below.
Stand-up with George the Bastard opens.

Smart bastard!
Great to see a full crowd at the Friday show. Great show, awesome fight, lots of beer, Friday well spent.
The London Times put up the sudoku puzzles used at the World Sudoku championships. You can download them here (warning, it's a broadsheet PDF prepared for A4 and it's huge, email me if you want jpegs of the puzzle pages). Over lunch today I had a stab at the championship puzzle. Winner's time, 12 minutes, 45 seconds. George the Bastard time, 14 minutes 30 seconds.
First rehearsal tonight for the upcoming 35 Below show. Get your $10 tickets at Eaties, Wink or at the door (or email - georgethebastard at gmail.com and I'll save some for you). It's going to be good to be back in the chihuahuas saddle again.

Feral Chihuahuas Media Onslaught!
I'm pleased to see the upcoming shows getting a bit of press (admittedly, we're piggybacking on the notoriety of the last show of the Rebelles).
Mountain X has a story on the show and the Rebelles (and a picture where if you look very carefully you can see George the Bastard near the middle back)
Out In Asheville mentions the show as well and has some nice things to say about the Chihuahuas
I was told last night there was an article in the Laurel of Asheville, but I can't find it, not sure if the November issue is out yet.
But I'm most pleased when we pop up on the strangest sites.
Thank you ncgoth.com!
But my favorite is definitely the mention at VampireFreaks!
Hope to see some of you at the show on Friday.

Bastard Movie review: "Across the Universe"
"Cranky" Ken Hanke rated this movie 5 stars
George "The" Bastard rates this movie "get a guarantee of sex before going in"
Somewhere, sometime, a filmmaker watched "Hair" and thought "This film would be so much better if it had a happy ending and was all told in Beatles songs with contrived characters". It's a glorious train wreck, two hours of disaster upon disaster. It would have made a rather tight five minute play without the songs, basically if there was a line that could have been a line from a Beatles song, rather than just doing the line, let's do the whole song!
Evan Rachel Wood is funny trying to look like Bridget Fonda. T. V. Carpio has the misfortune of wandering through the movie without any point to her character, and the camera focusing squarely on a mole on her lip.
The only redeeming few minutes is Eddie Izzard, named Mr Kite for obvious reasons, who has a fixed expression of "Get me through this scene and out of this silly movie" through his one scene. Finally something has been found that Eddie Izzard is embarrassed to do.
