Happy Halloween. I was over at my friends’ Dave and Nicole where we watched the end of Psycho and Poltergeist while the last few trick or treaters came by. Poltergeist freaked me out when I was a kid and I feared things coming out of the closet to steal me away. It’s still pretty scary and I’m sure that has a lot to do with being so scared when I was young. I’m working on the Unwed Sailor layout for The White Ox and Circles. James Marsh did the cover images for both releases. He’s done many album covers for Talk Talk over the years. Saxon Shore are still on tour and Unwed Sailor start their tour this week. Catch them both when they come to a city near you… :::scott:::

My parents and I saw the Body Worlds exhibit on Friday at the Franklin Institute. It’s basically many different views of human cadavers with certain aspects of their internal anatomy on display. It was very expensive to go, but ended up being very interesting. We also visited the mint and it was the first time I’d ever been. I have plane tickets to go to Chicago the weekend of 4 November. I’m also going to see Styrofoam and Saxon Shore play on different nights. I’m excited to see the Saxons play on this tour, things seem to be going well. :::scott:::
The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore moved to #72 on the CMJ top 200, the second week on the charts. Thanks to every station who is currently playing the album. Saxon Shore is still on tour for the next 3 weeks or so, be sure to see them play. They join up with Anathallo in early November to round out the rest of their dates. Johnathon is in Louisville to practice with the touring members of Unwed Sailor, featuring members of Parlour and an member of Elliott. They’ll start touring in early November. My aunt, uncle, and cousin are visiting from San Diego and my parents just arrived from Indiana so it’s a mini family reunion of sorts here until Sunday. I stayed up ridiculously late on Tuesday to watch until the 13th inning of the World Series game, just missing the White Sox rally in the top of the 14th to win. I managed to catch most of the game last night and watch the White Sox win. I was cheering for the Astros, especially since they seemed to be the big underdogs, but they just couldn’t pull it out at all. :::scott:::
