Halloween
As Monnie has mentioned, we've been to some great Halloween parties this year. I'll leave you to check out her commentary (and additional pics) but here are our outfits...

Baseball!
Finally, two of the world's greatest things come together. If there is even one stolen base in the World Series this year: we all get a free taco.
And if you haven't yet seen the Red Sox post-series celebration (for the ALCS which ended last week), check out these ridiculously funny videos. It's not everyday you get to see a major league all star do an irish jig in his underwear at Fenway Park. or the whole team doing sort of advanced version of the running man.

Pay What It's Worth
The initial results are in and it looks like Radiohead's "pay what it's worth to you" sales strategy has been an incredible success.
1.2 million albums sold in the first week, at an average cost of $8. For those of you scoring at home: that's almost $10M in one week... not a bad week.
It'll be interesting to see when the first store opens online facilitating this type of distribution. Seems like a site like that could take an incredibly small percentage of the sale to make it. Having multiple large artists on one site like that could really open the door for small/medium bands to make similar jumps. "We see you're here to buy the new 'My Morning Jacket' album. If you like them why not try the new 'Band of Horses' disc for a couple bucks?"
