QC After Dark / News Treats and tricks...
Posted By Brittney Cason on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Would anyone like some treats with their tricks?
I remember in my childhood Halloween use to mean playing dress up, trick-or-treating and visiting pumpkin patches to carve pumpkins and make homemade pumpkin pie. But now, as an adult, Halloween has transformed into “Dress Like a Slut Night.” Someone has apparently appointed Halloween as the one night girls can go out wearing less clothes than a stripper without other girls hating on them.
And when selecting a costume they just throw slutty or sexy in front of it... Slutty nurse, sexy devil, slutty Girl Scout, sexy cop. I tried the slut thing, a few years ago I went out as a slutty referee and realized I did not enjoy going out half naked — it’s cold in October. Perhaps someone should consider moving “Dress Like a Slut Night” to a summer month.
This year Halloween falls on a Friday, making it a Halloweekend. Although Halloween parties seem to go on throughout the entire month of October, below is a list of the parties just on the 31st...

News / Concert Announcement The Boys are back in town
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 10:50 AM
The buzz all over town is tonight's Beastie Boys concert at Amos' Southend. While the $35 tickets sold out in minutes online, you can still find some via craigslist — some for as much as $100.
There's also a rumor flying about that the band may be in town for an afternoon performance with Tenacious D, but that one's still unconfirmed.
Update: Beastie Boys, Sheryl Crow and Santogold appeared at CPCC today, briefly. The Boys did a quick speech about voting before Sheryl Crow hit the stage to perform for about 20 minutes.

QC After Dark / News Live...from New York
Posted By Brittney Cason on Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 3:05 PM
I am in a New York state of mind...Perhaps because I am sitting on a Jet Blue flight relishing in the fact I didn’t have to pay to check my luggage and enjoying my free soda and snacks.
I was up in NYC for an interview on MAXIM Radio on Sirius Satellite for the Stretch show.
