On Tuesday November 4, as America eagerly awaited the results of its presidential election—as well as the Senate and House races and hundreds of disparate propositions up for vote all across the country—Antics posted up at the Beauty Bar in Las Vegas for our special election night congressional caucus. Plus-sized television screens aired CNN’s holographic glory while party-goers flooded the doors, drooling at the mouth at the prospect of riding history’s coattails into Wednesday morning. Funny Faces Photobooth joined us, bearing a box of political masks—on hand were Hillary Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Abraham Lincoln, and president-elect Barack Obama. Later, Eagles of Death Metal took the stage for ninety minutes of ruby rock.

There’re usually two weekends of Halloween come October. The weekend before, and the weekend after. This is perfect for people who are worried their costume is lame, because they get a chance to know for sure that it does. This year brings us a special treat: Halloween on a Friday! The insanity will be considerably ghoulish. For the preamble Halloween weekend we visited the USC School of Architecture for the Warehouse Masquerade. The city’s finest goblins attended, as well as a fruity melange of superheros, robots, mummies, witches, werewolves, cowboys, schoolgirls, and Republican congressmen.

Besides being home to Governor Last Action Hero, Sacramento is also home to some of the most devout party-goers I’ve seen since my days in Santa Cruz. Sacramento is like a So Cal city that got displaced by an earthquake and slid up north. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. In fact, it’s kind of charming. The kids there are always excited by all things Antics—our shenanigans, larks, rigamarole, balderdash, tomfoolery and even our capers.

Hats off to Darren Navarette for throwing THEE best vert contest in a long, long time. The Rumble in Ramona was so good, it shouldn’t be called a contest. Just a bunch of bros (who happen to be some of the best vert skaters of all time), hitting the halfpipe hard and heavy, just like in the old days, with $1 beverages, burgers on the grill, classic cars and even a burlesque style bikini contest to round out the session.

Usually when go I to Vegas I plan on scouring the strip until sunrise blinds me and I scramble back to a hotel room on all fours, having lost money I don’t have at a craps table and eaten six times the amount of food my belly can handle at an all-you-can-eat buffet, but this last weekend our Antics team traveled to Sin City with the mentalities of freshly-winged angels.

The Halloween events just keep springing out of their catacombs, don’t they? Well, here’s the skeletal skinny on Monster Massive’s 11th annual dance event. On Saturday, October 25, trick-or-treating electro and DJ fans can get their dance on at the largest Halloween dance music festival this side of being undead. Grab your Joker or Harley Quinn costume and head on down to L.A.’s Sports Arena.

Rolling forth to spread the word of high speed skate annihilation, look for the dynamic duo of the Deathwish and Baker teams to crack tails, bonk noses and flick flips at selected points below the Mason/Dixon line on their Dirty South tour. No telling what might happen when you get guys like Andrew Reynolds, Erik Ellington, Jim Greco, Dustin Dolin, Jeff Lenoce, Lizard King, Spanky, Bryan Herman, Beagle, Terry Kennedy, Slash, Antwaun Dixon, Braydon Szafranski and a whole slew of crew together with some Southern belles and good ol’ down-South hospitality.

Howdy folks. It’s the big M-Dizzle, back with new jam. Now as most of you (Mom, Dad, Patrick and Connie) probably know, I’m from Los Angeles (the City of Angels). And being from L.A., I’m used to the temperature being at least semi-warm (anything below 60 and consider me p-coated). Now I love layering, and I love Denver even more… but OMG was it freezing this past weekend. There was even a chance of snow (not the Informer guy...the other white and soft thing… OOOOHHHHHH… talk about topical, huh?). But ladies and gentlemen, I’m a trooper (more like a Starship Trooper… never cared much for insects) and I braved the cold and ended up having a killer night.

Halloween is fast approaching, and I know all you hooligans are busy filling up your calendars with where to go and what to do, so I thought I’d drop this one early so you’ll know to tell everyone else their party is bunk in favor of Alva Skates’ Night of the Dead.
