My View From Las Vegas
Sunday, October 31, 2004
 
Can Halloween be any better? Not here in Las Vegas, the place is beyond what I think anyone could have imagined in those early off the hook days of Studio 54 in New York. What hits the street here on any given weekend is way up top, but on the Week of the Solstice you are swept away by the full combination of eroticism and fantasy. People, I tell you, this coming from me, I have scoured the far corners of this earth to find what is that unique and complex mix of music, people, and atmosphere to bring my mind , body, and soul to climactic exstasy in the crystalized moment of primal music and dance. We have that here, and this week all those dedicated followers of the spirit will don the most outrageous, and courageous of fantasy attire, and dance together through the frightening, torridly hot and sensual pagan ritual. As to comfort while contemplating another season of dark long nights and barren soil. That is winter. Dance . Dance . Dance. And Dress up, Paint your faces, role the entire memory bank of all the different "costumes" you have been since the first Trick or Treat bag was placed in your hand. Glide through them all, and arrive at the best place you have ever been, dressed like never before, in the Costume of you dreams. Heavy Happy Halloween.
