www.Dubuque365.com 365ink Magazine | issue #172 { october 25 - november 7, 2012 } 21 LIVE My MUSIC: Brother's Place My Brother’s Place Halloween Blue Felix. Friday October 26 Halloween Party, Satuday, October 27 The newly re-opened My Brother’s Place on Central Av- enue in Dubuque is celebrating the Halloween holiday in a big, big way. After testing out the back room, dedicated to live mu- sic, with the hard rocking default house band Johnny Trash earlier this month, My Brother’s Place turns it up even further for the Friday before Halloween host- ing Minneapolis shock rockers Blue Felix with special guests Six Shots ‘til Midnight.

“I can’t wait,” said My Brother’s Place owner Frank Anderson. Affiliated with Sid Wilson, aka DJ Starscream, from Slipknot, Blue Felix have been compared to ev- eryone from Rob Zombie to (Hed) PE to Marilyn Manson to Gwar and have toured nationally with some pretty serious acts as well, including Rikets, Mary Magdalan, Tenafly Viper, HEMLOCK, Psychostick, Mushroomhead, Sid Wilson, Ventana, Motograter, and Seasons After.

Blue Felix’s newest video and the first single “Middle Finger Up” off the album Sample of a Solution received over 50,000 views on You- tube within its first few months (it’s now approaching 150,000 views), in part due to the band’s lively antics and crazy stage costumes. Slip- knot’s Wilson even appears in the video, scratching with the band.

If you’re still looking for Halloween costume ideas, check out the video. You’ll probably get some ideas or possibly nightmares. The party will include door prizes and the first 50 people in attendance are entered for a chance to win a tattoo from Dubuque Tattoo Club and Ink Tattoo Studios.

Tickets for Blue Felix and Six Shots ‘til Midnight are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.

Saturday night brings a no cover Halloween costume party worthy of My Brother’s Place reputation. Drink spe- cials and rockin’ videos on the huge projection screen are matched by door prizes and drawings good for free tattoos from Dubuque Tattoo Club and Ink Tattoo Studio, and the party will spill over into My Brother’s Place back room!

If your current attempts at time management are resulting in crazier days with less actually getting accomplished, you might want to reconsider your strategies. Before you begin another time consuming task, ask yourself if this task will get you the desired results. Busy does not necessarily equal productive. You very well might be wasting a lot of time by focusing on tasks which have little or no bearing on success- fully reaching your goals. Keep your goals in mind and be brutally honest with yourself. If you cannot directly link the task to achieving your goal, don’t do it.
