Halloween on a Wednesday. It was a massive bummer before Sandy came and took a shit all over it. It makes sense if you've not yet picked out a costume.

He'll be paying our writers in blood and hopefully won't leave a permanent unholy stench in our office. We'll have other non-Alice related bits too, so stop on by ... if you dare BWHAHAHAHAHAHA.

The 2011 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony
The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel
Monday, March 14

Better Than: Whatever was happening at Death by Audio tonight that Bruce Springsteen didn't show up to, for whatever reason.

First off, let's tell you what you want to hear: Tom Waits stole the show.
