• Well, that glorious thing called Halloween happened. Now it's time to stop frantically "liking" every costume photo on Facebook! Hey, tomorrow is Election Day. Did you vote? These two did. Did you, huh, did you?

• Speaking of music, several of my friends missed King Diamond at Moore Theatre because they thought/wished/assumed the show was on Halloween. They shoulda used the new Stranger calendar and maybe they wouldn't have missed the *TUESDAY NIGHT* show!

• Lots of cover bands played over the weekend! One of my favorites was Underworld Scum, a Misfits tribute who played at Therapy (the little inconspicuous bar connected to big gay bar Neighbours). Who knew Therapy was equipped to have shows?! It was packed and so-so fun.

• In non-cover-band news, over the weekend I bought my Patti Smith tickets. She graces Seattle with her presence on January 19th. Also announced over the weekend (and on the opposite musical planet as Smith): Taylor Swift is coming to CenturyLink Field in August 2015. I only know who Swift is because I'm pretty sure my coworker Emily Nokes luuuuuuuuurves her.

• Speaking of Emily... She is currently on tour in Europe, and she sent along some photos from her weekend to me in the middle of the night (she's nine hours in the future over there). Enjoy!

German gas station find: crème liqueur in a... uh... novelty sperm container. (Today's German lesson: "Ich komme!!" = "I'm coming!!")

I have no idea what this bank ad in Vienna is trying to tell me, but I'm in.

This ad, though. I don't know. I just don't know.
