Aural Sex 10/25

It’s Halloween weekend, brahs. The one time a year where every woman suddenly feels comfortable dressing like a complete ‘whooa’ (that was ‘whore’ in my Paulie Walnuts voice). Every weekend I talk about the great reasons to go out and see music, but this weekend it doesn’t even matter who is playing. All you have to do is go out on Saturday night to any show in your area and you are guaranteed to rub elbows with a french maid, playboy bunny, catholic school girl, or the always prevalent “I didn’t have a costume so I dressed like a slut, but it’s okay because my best friend did, too, and we can just stay together and get really drunk and feel okay about our decision to go into public dressed like prostitutes.” It’s awesome. So take a gander at the list of shows below and see where you might have the best chance to bump into Sally Slut and her gaggle of underdressed sorostitutes.
