Maybe it was just for Halloween, but I doubt it.

Friday night we went up to the Glens Falls Civic Center for Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, In This Moment and From Ashes To New.

Before 5FDP hit the stage, my boss and I snuck back to Maria Brink's tour bus. We were invited on, and I'll tell you, that was one of the most surreal, and kinda creepy experiences of my life.

Tour bus' have very steep stairs, and as the doors open and I get ready to climb them, I see a strange figure at the top, by the drivers seat. It's a long black cloaked figure with what looks like a mask from the movie Scream, but more doll face. Startled but not deterred, I made my way further on to the bus, where there were at least 3 more of these doll faced hooded figures, and Maria fricken Brink.

I was not prepared for this. Doctors tell me I'm 6 feet tall. Maria Brink's head was hitting the roof of the bus. She was in a long black dress with Slash's hat from November Rain and these long black gloves with what seemed like Freddy Kruger claws on them.

Maria offered to take a picture with us. We're getting all posed up and she tells us to look into the light. In front of me is this large halo of light, and if TV and movies have taught me anything DON'T GO TOWARD THE LIGHT! Turns out just looking at it is fine, until a hand comes out from the middle of the halo and makes some motion only Maria could interpret. I know the picture makes it look like it was bright, but that was just the halo of light doing its job, that bus was dark.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Maria likes Halloween, maybe that's why she has agreed to come and be a guest judge for us the night before at the Rock Girl Finales, Friday October 30th at the Upstate Concert Hall, which will feature a performance by Starset.
