ENTERTAINMENT PROJECT
We are working on an entertainment project and I need email and phone contact information from all the bands and music venues in the area. This is going to be a great project to help the music scene. I look forward to working with all of you. Thank you.
There are so many amazing events to partake in this weekend that I am sure you won’t have a problem finding something amazing to do in a costume.
Halloween weekend is also the perfect time, while recuperating during the day time, to watch great scary movies. I love scary movies, and I have listed a few that you may not have seen before below.
Henry Rollins of Black Flag acts in "Feast."
Jess “The Mess” Martin’s Scary Movie Picks
“Feast” - This is disturbing, funny and just plain wrong all at the same time. Also, punk band Black Flag’s lead-singer, Henry Rollins, plays a motivational speaker, which is the perfect reason to check it out.
“Abominable” - The beast in this looks like the Grateful Dead’s singer, Jerry Garcia, which makes for some hilarious moments.
“Descent” - The cave creatures are super creepy, plus the idea of being stuck in a cave scares the crap out of me.
“High Tension” - This film actually freaked me out a bit, but sadly the end was a little disappointing, still worth checking out though.
“House of a 1000 corpses” - I had to include a Rob Zombie movie, even thought the acting is never perfect, the production design is so great!
Classic scary movies are always a good call too, but I’m giving you options that are a little more random. Let me know what scary movies you love.
As for going out to shows this weekend, here are a few costumes I really hope to see out:
Jess “The Mess” Martin’s Favorite Costumes
Britney Spears - This one should be one half of your body in the old trashy run down version of Britney and the other half looking recovered and great.
Zombie - It is ALWAYS a good idea to go as a zombie, but make sure and make your own costume to look more real. Plus you can always do things like Miley Cyrus as a zombie too!
Local celebrity - Dress up as a local news person, well-known coach or area musician. Local costumes are hilarious!
Flo from Progressive commercials.
Bret Michaels on “Rock Of Love” - You must have a gaggle of girls dressed as groupies to pull it off and of course purse your lips constantly while wearing a bandana.
Progressive girl - I wanted to be Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials for a couple years and haven’t had a chance. I think it would be perfect, because so many people would recognize her.

Below are what I have been calling the duelling shows for Saturday in the area. National act Royal Bliss and local event Cheeks and Friends Freedom Festival are both going on, so I have come up with the way to not miss anything.
Freedom Festival has nine local bands and starts at 2 p.m. and has free camping, plus Cheeks says they are giving out wrist bands so people can come and go.
The plan is to go out at 1 p.m. to the Freedom Fest, when the gates open, and set up your camper and watch some tunes for about five to seven hours (leave a friend to watch your camping gear if you feel the need) and then head back into Quincy for a bit to catch some Royal Bliss action.
Afterward head back out to catch the end of the live music at the festival, camp and join in on the after party.
Neal Middleton, of Royal Bliss says they pack up their RV and head out Freedom Fest to camp and party after their show anyway.

Royal Bliss from Utah is returning yet again to Quincy to rock Backwaters Oct. 17. This time they are bringing two tour mates, Resident Hero and Divide the Day from California.
It is too bad it is a day that already has a big show going on in the area. The sixth annual Cheeks and Friends Freedom Fest is slated to take place all day at the Adams County Fairgrounds. The event cost is $15 in advance and includes regional bands Nowake, Pike Station, Superimposed, Predawn Hour, Descending New Angels, Fielder, Cheeks McGee and Nugget (the world’s #1 CAKE tribute band).

Royal Bliss is a great band that puts on a really good show, but Freedom Fest has become a regional staple and Cheeks has worked harder than ever this year to make it something really special. Who knows? Maybe Royal Bliss and their friends will come out to the fairground to hang out after the show.

The late Kurt Cobain, top, and musician Tommy Lee.
A discussion was held in the newsroom recently about how notorious a couple musicians are now and would be in 100 years. What do you think about this?
Who is better known out of context, Tommy Lee or Kurt Cobain? Which one would people have heard of more in 100 years? (I realize that 100 years is a long time, but in several years and several generations later, who would it be?)
In case you are unaware, Kurt Cobain was the lead-singer of Nirvana before he died, and Tommy Lee is the drummer for Motley Crue.
My answer is Kurt Cobain and not just because he died in his prime. Nirvana has had a bigger impact on a generation and on music in general. They were the leader of a major genre, grunge, and influenced most of the rock bands on the radio today.
Not to take away from Motley Crue’s influence in music though and I am also aware that because of many scandals that Tommy Lee has been apart of, he may be more well-known in the mainstream at this time.
Please let me know what you think about this topic by leaving a comment.
