Halloween has come and gone, and our sleepy, sugar filled punk kin are back in school, with remnants of multicolored hair, but makeup free faces. Today, we still have some tech or treat fun for you and more fabulous, live music from Mr. Singer and The Sharp Cookies' Halloween Show at Beat Kitchen.
Devil Town-Beat Kitchen Concerts for Kids-Mr. Singer & The Sharp Cookies
Here's our final treat from Mr. Singer's Halloween extravaganza--a brand new, never before heard Truck Driver Song. We dig it!
When the intro first started, I thought they were going to launch into Bauhaus' Bella Lugosi's Dead. But then they veered off in another direction entirely, with a rockin' new creation. There's something a bit B52's about the trucking song, and it's entirely danceable and fun. Rumor is, they may be adding keyboards and fine tuning it, and we can't wait to hear it evolve.
Dia De Los Muertosis here through Nov. 2, so we'll still be rockin' the seasonal theme here at ChiIL Mama. If you have a chance, check out The National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen. Their Dia De Los Muertos exhibit & sugar skulls will be up through December 10th.
If every day is Halloween for you...and you still wanna rock the "Nightmare Before Christmas" lifestyle, local artist, Tasha, carries these fun skull & Chewbacca ski masks! Drop us an e-mail here at ChiIL Mama if you want to get in touch.
We also have the creepy baby info, for all you attachment parenting, baby wearin' guys and ghouls out there. You can find these little lovelies at Black-Cat Babies by Kathy Kemppi.
LOL and do a double take! L is for Local art, Little creepy babies, and Look out attachment parenting--it's Rosemary's baby for the new millennium.
Just in time for Halloween....today's photos are doing double duty as our L for the ABC Wednesday meme and our first contribution to Mom-Mom-Mom's new Weirded Out Wednesday feature. We spotted these creepy babies in Chicago at Wizard World's Comic-Con out in Rosemont. We are a bit inundated with event business cards and I can't find theirs at the moment, but I will post the website info if it materializes. If anyone knows, please feel free to add it to our comments section. Googling creepy Chicago babies got me nowhere, and the card is MIA.
Halloween is one of our all time favorite holidays of the year. But what's scarier than gory costumes to me is the imminent advance of the avalanche of Christmas. We bought a rapidly selling out Blackhawks ornament yesterday, and attended a preview of holiday offerings at a local toy store. We are already getting Christmas e-mail and it's just October 5th!
So, slow down and enjoy the changing colors of the midwestern foliage. Make some apple cider. Scare up a fun costume for Halloween. Read some ghost stories. And check out some fun posts over at Weirded Out and ABC Wednesday.
