Good morning and welcome to this month's episode of the Wake Up Date! Today's
Halloween so I thought I would wear my costum.e I am a wild thing from Where The
Wild Things Are and I made this hood and these little claws. I knew I was gonna
end up being really busy this season so I wasn't sure I would be able to make
every one of my family's costumes, so I decided to buy the Max costume from
Where The Wild Things are for my son and then I made these like, Wild Thing
accessories for me and my husband Matt so we're gonna all match and I'm really
excited. This is the first year we're taking our son out trick-or-treating for
real. Last year we just kind of pushed him around in his stroller, it was really
cold and we didn't go door-to-door, we just kind of looked around the
neighborhood. He wasn't really sure what was going on. I think this year he's
gonna be so much more excited and I can't wait. I love Halloween, I always
have and I am so excited to dress him up and take him around the neighborhood.
Later tonight I'm gonna be posting some pictures so if you want to see us in our
costumes all togethe,r follow me on social media @Laurenfairwx. If you're
curious, the hood came from a tutorial that I found online that I will link in
the video description below and I used the leftover fabric from the hood to
make these and I just kind of improvised on these little mittens.
I think vinyl was probably the right material for these claws because they
look like they're really sharp but they're totally not and they keep their
form and I, yeah. totally happy with the way these came out. I love the idea of
doing family Halloween costumes and I've always been kind of intimidated by the
idea of making costumes but I've been trying to challenge myself to do it even
if it's just like a hat or just some gloves. I want to get better at making
costumes and I think Halloween's a good place to start! So my big news for this
month, just announced, my first wizard rock band, The Moaning Myrtles, will be
reuniting. If you don't know, it's a band that I started with my best friend when
we were in high school and we haven't really been writing music or playing
shows together in a very very long time and Paul DeGeorge from Harry and the
Potters asked us if we wanted to play the Yule Ball this year and the Yule
Ball events that Harry and the Potters put on are some of my favorite shows
ever, of all time. They're so much fun, they're are really good events for people
who are not familiar with Wizard Rock, it's a good like, first foray
into the weirdness that is wizard rock music and this is the first year that I
will be playing at all three of the Yule balls! There's one in Washington DC
on December 15th, there is one in Brooklyn New York on
December 16th, and the last one is gonna be in Boston Massachusetts on December
17th. December 15th, 16th, and 17th, Nina and I are gonna be getting together and
playing our old Moaning Myrtles music, we're also going to be putting a new
spin on some of my solo Lauren Fairweather music and I am really
excited! We have a lot of work ahead of us because i'm not sure i remember all
the words. So if you want to learn more information about those shows, find out
how you can get tickets, read the video description below for more information
on all of those shows. Also, because I've been meaning to do this for a really
long time and these shows kind of reminded me that I needed to get it done,
I made a Bandcamp page for The Moaning Myrtles! So if you want to refresh your
memory before the concert so you know all the words to sing along with us, or
you just missed out on The Moaning Myrtles and want to know what they're
all about, go to themoaning myrtles.bandcamp.com and you can download all of
our music! Including the kind of hard-to-find bathroom acoustics EP. This
is one of the coolest things I think I've ever made; the only sounds that you
hear on that album are voices and the sounds of items that you would find in a
bathroom. And that was kind of a limited release as part of the EP of the Month
Club in 2009, so not a lot of people have that album. I know a lot of people have
said to me over the years that they were kind of late to the wizard rock scene
and they wish that they could have seen a Moaning Myrtles, show so if that's you,
this is your chance. I'm really looking forward to those shows and I think
they're gonna be really really fun. I'm also gonna be performing at Conjuration
in Atlanta which is a Harry Potter conference this weekend, November third
fourth and fifth, and I am looking forward to that! It's gonna be fun! So I'm
gonna end today's episode with a bunch of shoutouts for my patreon supporters.
Whether you want to get one of these shoutouts in a future episode or you
just want to support me and help me keep making these videos, I have a patreon
campaign at patreon.com/laurenfairweather and there's all kinds of
stuff on there that might be interesting to you. So this month I wanted to say
thank you to Nicki B. Thank You Lucy black. Thank You Ashley Sousa. thank you
Markslide. Thank You Saxony. Thank You Antonio G.
and a big thank you and welcome to Abby Ritter who is a new patron and I'm
so happy! Thank You Abby! So that I think is everything that I wanted to say this
month. I hope that you're having a happy Halloween if you are celebrating and if
you are celebrating Halloween and dressing up, leave me a comment below
telling me all about your costumes. That's all. Okay. Bye!
