We are all well aware of the heathen roots of infamous Halloween, our most unholy of domestic holidays, where children are given free-reign to indulge in their sweet tooth, while teenagers and young adults across the country descend upon the normally civil streets of their respective townships & cities to wreak havoc on countless unsuspecting adults, too out-of-touch with their youthful days of sly trickery to fend off the barrage of alcohol fueled barbarian hordes dead-set on having their way, candy or not.
While the significant pagan origins have been all but forgotten & disregarded by the masses of today, Halloween still stands as one of the most widely revered & steadfastly honored holidays of our country, and it is this almost dogmatic reverence of this most impulsive & sinful of celebrations by our youth that must unsettle the fully-grown & steadfastly responsible watchdogs of hip reservation & cool demeanor that practice their banal treachery in our midst. It is these hallow aliens to unguarded revelry & libratory hedonism that have always attempted to recuperate & neutralize this most important of socially-transcendent holidays from the get go, blunting the razor-sharp ferocity of consumptive mania and drowning it in a sea of weak mix-drinks & completely un-inspiring costume half-assery, and it is these sad individuals who we avoid with great contempt when planning and preparing for Dope Jams’ 1st Annual Haunted Halloween Costume Ball, set to commence at dark on the evening of Friday, October 31, 2008… HALLOWEEN! While others feign youthful zeal with a most unconvincing façade, we here at Dope Jams will be dead-set in the midst of restoring the joyous & self-deprecating anti-innocence that we already know and love as Halloween, and we invite each and every one of you to visit our haunted house for a night of dope costumes, creepy decorations & spooky sounds dug from the grave of eternal sonic damnation & served cold & twitching to hungry costume-clad heroes of the night by the likes of damned souls Slow To Speak…and yes, if you show up without a costume, you’ll be met with a barrage of ridicule & condescension for not looking like an complete jack-ass like the rest of us.
