This year’s theme: HAUNTED BOOM BOX<\/p>\n

(for more of an explanation, see the Gothtober FAQ<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Are you looking for something to DO?!? Well, let us help! Don’t sit there and be all namby-pamby and say silly stuff like “I’m not an artist, I dunno how to come up with ideas” etc. SNORE. And don’t say stuff like “Oh, I’ve done everything there is to do, I’m bored by the inside of my own skull, I’m just too jaded to do this…” ALSO very boring. YOU are not boring<\/em>, YOU have weirdness in you, I can see <\/em>it. You are beyond those old chestnut excuses, you are AMAZING! Here is your autumnal creative outlet! Gothtober is seeking the bored, the jaded, the pent-up unrealized freaky-crazy peculiar nuances of your very SOUL. I could try to sound more casual about it, but why?<\/p>\n

Halloween is not a casual holiday, it freaks out the religious right, it’s misunderstood, it’s minimized yet also demonized, it encourages erratic behavior and rebelliousness, half the people think it’s kid stuff, while the other half of the population things its for naughty nurses and drag queens.<\/p>\n

It’s a troublemaking<\/em> holiday.<\/p>\n

Gothtober celebrates this troublemaking holiday with panache and fun, without the hindrance of grace or sophistication.<\/p>\n

Come on, fill out an application, it doesn’t have to be wordy or verbose, and it doesn’t have to make much sense either.<\/p>\n
