Oingo Boingo show (kind of)

[mistyisjafo]

God how I miss those Boingo Halloween shows. What great times and memories. But Boingo without Danny Elfman is like a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich with out the Jelly. He's the show!

I will say that since you never got to go Boingonut - the old shows held at Irvine Meadows (now Verizon Wireless Amp) were just beyond awesome.

Oingo Boingo Halloween Memories:
The Pope doing the blessing
Johnny Vatos running up and down the stage with a handheld crappy little keyboard strapped to him and literally flipping head over heals with out missing a beat.
Danny Elfman with a giant blow up halloween hat shaped like a spider
The always watery Lawn that you slipped & slid on all night. You brought boxes just so you could slide all night! I loved standing on the lawn
The annual halloween contest that got crazier and crazier every year
Dead Man's Party Skeleton dance (think that was 88) = Just the music, no vocals and 5 guys in glow in the dark skeleton outfits. AMAZING!!

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can ever top those shows. Makes me miss it everytime I hear about it.
