Trick or Treat?

Costumes and makeup are synonymous with any performance by the Ssion. Mustachioed ringleader Cody Critcheloe likes to prance around in funny suspenders and paint his nose brown. Sometime-collaborator Shannon Michalski favors women’s power suits. And the artsy disco-punk collective’s revolving cast of pretty-boy dancers often wears close to nothing at all. Now that it’s damn near Halloween, Critcheloe and crew are sure to outdo themselves. In an e-mail sent a couple of weeks ago, he promised a “BIG TRIPPY-DIPPY-HALOWEEN-Y SHOW” with DJ Iggy Baby tonight at the Record Bar (1020 Westport Road, 816-753-5207). We can only imagine the homoerotic possibilities. Admission to the 18-and-older event costs $7 ($5 if you wear a costume).
