Playing bass in The Rigormorticians means that Halloween is the busiest time of the year for us and this year was no exception.  I'm curled up on the couch after a whirlwind weekend hosting guests, playing gigs and house parties and hauling gear all over the place.  Despite the madness, I was still able to get the camera out.

This year, the annual Halloween gig was held at Verns in Calgary with The Spastic Panthers, The Escorts and our  favourite ghouls in arms from Saskatoon The New Jacobin Club.  I could photograph The New Jacobin Club til the day I die, not only are they a fun band to see live there's something new every time I see them.  This time there were staple guns, mouse traps and grinders all wielded by one lovely lady by the name of Jennifer. I'm always surprised when the sparks start flying and my face melts but somehow my lens and camera always stay intact.  Magic how that works out.

It was a great party, though an evening at Verns always is, and an even better show with top notch performances from everybody. 

The entire set  of photos can be found here, but for now, here's two  of my favourites.
