Another update following on from yesterday…

Alan

It’s almost that time, folks…

Philadelphia is THE place to be for Halloween weekend.  Make your way to the city early on Friday evening to catch the one and only Elvira, Mistress of The Dark, at the Edgar Allen Poe House:

“Join Elvira from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Philadelphia home of the popular author where she will participate in a reading of The Raven in honor of Poe’s upcoming 200th birthday on January 19, 2009. 530 N. 7th Street, (215) 597-8780, www.nps.gov/edal for info”

Later on that evening, catch The Sisters of Mercy live in concert at the Trocadero Theatre.  If you’ve never seen The Sisters before, take the opportunity and do it now!  As further incentive for you to brush up on your dark-rock fundamentals, The Trocadero is offering a special two-for-one ticket deal.  Here’s the link:

Finally, don’t miss out on Medieval Babes, Zombie Girl, and Gerard McMann along with DJs Xris SMack!, Jet, Transept, Aurum and Blackfeather at the one and only **Dracula’s Ball** on Saturday, November 1st at Shampoo Nightclub.  Details can be found at the Dracula’s Ball website:

Here’s an interesting shot of Dracula music set in Whitby.

What do you think?

Prologue / Over Whitby Bay (DRACULA: THE MUSICAL)

MINA:

Staring out to sea
Full of dark premonitions
Thinking what to say
As the sun, slowly dims
Over Whitby Bay

MINA + HARKER :

On that summer night
When we first shared a carriage
Down the road, curving round
Over Whitby Bay

MINA:

We strolled to the old bowling green

HARKER:

The orchestra played sweet sixteen

MINA + HARKER:

Then we kissed our first kiss
My thoughts turn everyday
Back to Whitby Bay

MINA:

Why do I feel cold?
Why am I so frightened?

HARKER:

Why did I agree to go so far away!
Will I ever see you again?

MINA:

I’ll stare out to sea until then

MINA + HARKER:

We were so happy here
My thoughts turn, everyday
Back to Whitby Bay

One more lonely night
Full of dark premonitions
Shall we see the day?
When the sun slowly dims
Over Whitby Bay
Over Whitby Bay
