The next seven days promise to be thoroughly overloaded with entertainment possibilities within the town of Oshkosh, thanks largely methinks to that popular celebration once known as All Hallow's Eve. In this and the next 3 posts, I'll go through a bunch of 'em.

Topping the list is undoubtedly the third Carnivale event. Ostensibly a it's fundraiser for the art programs at Oshkosh-area public schools -- not that I doubt this, simply that I know better than to think that this is going to be a sober charity affair.

No, I hear that this year they're going to hang a sign forbidding carnal relations in the back room. Of course, if you drink enough, it kinda gets too blurry to read. And anyway, if it would apply to you, you probably have enough in your hands to be able to easily look at things like signs.

In any case, if you've already been to one of these, you're already planning on going to this one. If not, I'm feeling lazy, so here's how they describe themselves:

"Carnivále is a Costume ball, where you will arrive dressed to kill and ready to dance, and we will provide outlandish and ridiculous surprises meant to keep you entertained, and keep your wine glasses full!Be prepared for fun and surprises. Witness the fashion show and enjoy the performance art, place a bid on one of your favorite directors for the dance auction. Proceeds stay in the community!"

Musical entertainment is being provided by Becky and the Guys and I think the Jazz Orgy, also promised is a fashion show, performance art, and a dance auction. And a "super secret surprise!" I'm betting it's that the legendary Dr. Kickbutt makes an appearance.

Doors at 8p, fashion show at 10p. $5 with costume or formal wear, $20 if you're feeling lazy or just didn't have time (although, it's not like you've been celebrating Halloween since you were born or anything :P). It all goes down at the Algoma Club, 103 Algoma Blvd.
