Modified Flesh put on quite the party at the Gahanna Pub this past month with the bands “My Favorite Assassin”, last month’s featured band “One Pretty Minute” and “Idle Black”. Each band brought something to the night while tattoo artist extraordinaire Mike Thomas tattooed in the corner ever-so-brilliantly.

The night started off with “My Favorite Assassin”, who having just heard for the first time that night was blown away. Of course one of my favorite local bands “One Pretty Minute” did what they do best and that is bringing the heat in the second set kicking off with my favorite song “Tornado”. “Idle Black”, the closing band whom I had just heard for the first time was equally impressive. Covering some crowd favorites as well as playing some of their own brew of songs, they ended the night with an absolute bang.

Highball Halloween has been called, “A cross between Carnivale and Mardi Gras with a pinch of Halloween and a healthy splash of the Short North's artistic spirit.” and rightfully so. Highball Halloween is an annual event held on Halloween this year in the Short North and is nothing short of fun. There is a contest for the most outrageous costume in which everyone may enter, as well as a Couture Costume Fashion showdown for fashion professionals. The events also include something called the “Dogtober Howloween Procession” which allows dog owners to dress their pooches in ridiculous outfits and parade them around. There are also live bands that will play as well as the areas hottest DJs. Prizes will also be awarded throughout the days events. Highball Halloween will take place directly on High St from 3rd Ave. through 5th Ave. under the Short North Arches.
