Oneside Touring Blog #10: October 31st, 2008; Hartford, CT at The Half Door

The Half Door in Hartford, CT was hosting the band's special Halloween show! The weather was much better this time around! If you've been reading the blog, then you know the last time we were at this venue there was torrential rain coming through which made things much more difficult. And if you don't know or remember this experience, just scroll down! The pictures were quite amusing from that night. This blog will probably top that one though, considering we were all decked out in costumes!


I know that's what you came to see, the amusing pictures from the night! :) We had some dinner and got to bringing all the gear in and getting everything ready. I usually have pictures of just the show, but I decided to start documenting more of the process!



The sweet sign advertising the show!


Grafton loading some gear in. Doesn't he look excited?!



Setting up the gear.



A candid shot!


That's pretty much it for pre-show visuals! People had all kinds of amazing costumes, and they were ready to dance. The guys opened the show with Ghostbusters, which was pretty amazing, especially considering there was a man there dressed as a ghostbuster! Here's a video of them opening with that song:





Amazing, right?!


Others had costumes like Amy Winehouse, Cartman and Lucy from South Park, Greek Godesses, etc. My personal favorite was a man dressed as Turd Ferguson. The guys always joke around that character so I guess that made it that much funnier that someone actually dressed up as him. There was actually a contest that the band judged, and the person who won got a pair of skis. The person who won was a man dressed as the second amendment, the right to bare arms. He literally just had fur up his arms. Quite creative, eh?


Here are some pictures from the performance:



Grafton dressed as Pooh. Aww!



Ned dressed as dead Buddy Holly.



Jake just ended up being himself.



Father Chris. :)



Group shot!



Dancing! :)



Another group shot at a fun, funky angle!


And of course the best shot of the night that I will close this blog entry with, our group shot! :

We make quite the bunch, don't we? hahahah. :)


Such a fun night!


Stay tuned for more, and check out the band!

About Me

Music is my passion in life. It's the one thing I can do with my heart and soul 100%. The atmosphere of a live show is like nothing else for me, really. I love being around like-minded people because I feel like we understand each other better then anyone else. You dig? :) Cheers!
