HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! I could have NEVER expected what an AWESOME bash this would be!!!! We set up our stage complete with gravestones, snakes, bats, spiderwebs, a pumpkin "custom" made for us by Brandon and Jendi that had the words "EAT ME" carved into it and a fog machine to complete the setting!! We dressed up...I was a "goth, glam living dead girl", Jeff was a "grim reaper/Jason/C3-PO"(LOL) and Mike was "Joe Dirt"!! The place was PACKED and the turnout of other people in costume was HUGE!! I had the honor of MC'ing the costume contest and MAN...I never thought it would be such a hard decision....the crowd voted and Tess had the final decision!! The winner was a man dressed as "Half Bride, Half Groom".....check the pics out on the "New" Photo Page. We danced to Thriller, The Monster Mash, Ghostbusters and more......the night was a HIT!!! WE CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR!!!!!!

TRAX LOUNGE
(AUSTINTOWN, OH) 8/1/09
Our 3rd and final stop for the 3 Shows in One Day Tour!! But, it didn't go as planned. Someone, (me), had the brilliant idea to sing "Gimme Some Water" and Mother Nature heard me...bout 6 songs into it, the skies opened up and the rain POURED down!! We almost had to build an arc..lol!! So, once we got done scrambling to get the equipment put away, I stopped to enjoy the torrential downpour...after being in the blistering sun all day, it felt DAMN good!! We stuck around and had a few beers and ate...WOW..they have AMAZING food here!! We rescheduled our date here so you have another chance to check us out!! Remember, this is the place with the HUGE, sand filled patio with private cabanas. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for nice weather...oh, and don't bother requesting "Gimme Some Water" cuz it's not gonna happen...lol!!!
