Pretty much from the middle of September until the middle of November, I have something going on every weekend. I have so many things I like to do in the Fall that I have to schedule it pretty far ahead of time. I thought it might be a good idea to share what I like to do in the Fall so that others might get some ideas.
A Rat Queen, a Count, a Druid and a Plague Doctor walk into a chapel. There’s no joke here, because the audience is screaming their catchphrase: “In this realm, now and forever.”
On Oct. 3, Castle Rat shattered a Molotov of doom metal, retro ambiance and fantasy storytelling on North Carolina, setting fire to Chapel of Bones.

Every year on the first weekend of October, the Renaissance Festival circuit comes to Huntersville, NC. I go every year at least once. I am a sucker for an excuse to get all dressed up and do something fun with my outfit or hair or makeup.
For anyone who doesn’t know what the Renaissance Festival is, it is an event in which performers, vendors and artists come together to create a period experience. All employees are dressed in fun Renaissance inspired attire as are most of the patrons. Some people choose to do something different like characters from anime, “Star Wars,” video games and so on. There are all kinds of interesting and delicious and overpriced foods and so many awesome experiences and trinkets.
Every year, I have a list of shows I want to see, experiences I want to participate in, and foods I want to try.

CONTENT WARNING: This review, film and/or soundtrack contains themes of religion, race, sexuality, suicide and violence.
As I have mentioned before, I am not a huge fan of musicals. However, I have been persuaded to review this one. “Jesus Christ Superstar” is a dramatic rock opera about the life and journey of Jesus Christ before his death. While the film itself is about Jesus Christ, the film is not overly religious in tonality.
