But before we get into specifics, let's talk loot:
1st Prize: Two tickets to the Mansion of Terror—the 1 haunted house in the nation A case of Sweet Leaf Tea
2nd Prize: .. Two V.I.
P tickets to the austi n. com Christmas party A case of Sweet Leaf Tea
3rd Prize: A pat on the back A case of Sweet Leaf Tea
All judging will be done by austin.com, and the winning pictures will be displayed on austin.com.
To enter, you must submit a photo, with the jack o' lantern lit (see photo tips below), to leeann@austin.com by October 26. The winners will be announced on Monday, October 27.

Pumpkin Submission Tips:
◊ Most of all, be creative. Think of this as art; the pumpkin is your canvas.
◊ For best pictures, place your pumpkin against a dark background.
◊ Adjust the focus so the pumpkin is the sharpest object in the shot.
◊ Remember the pumpkin must be lit (as in jack o' lantern).
If you're night shot skills aren't superior, you can also submit a day shot. But we must see the lit pumpkin for the entry to qualify.
◊ A good idea is to tell us what the pumpkin is when you enter your submission. Just in case it's not clear.

Flamingo Cantina The Blind Pets, Monument to No One, Sabotage Manual, HMS Foolhardy 10:00 / $5-$8 Indie, RockMonument to No One offers a piercing, psychedelic space rock counterbalanced with ambient mysticism and gritty grunge chops.

Momo's Nakia & His Southern Cousins, Freedy Johnston, Mulholland Drive, Dustin Welch Rock, Soul 7:00 / $5It didn't take Nakia (10:00) long to shake the typecast as Vic Odin, "manager" of the Small Stars. His high-energy, soulful rock quickly earned him a spot on an ACL stage.

Wednesday Antone's Blind Melon, Sounds Under Radio 9:00 / $20 Rock, PopDid anyone know these guys were still touring? Antone's did, inviting them for the second time this year. Their first album in more than a decade, For My Friends, features new lead singer Travis Warren. Warren has an uphill task in trying to overcome the late Shannon Hoon's iconic image that typically defines the band's prominence in the '90s. Artz Rib House Shelley King & Susan Gibson 7:30 / Free Folk Rock, Acoustic RootsSusan Gibson, still well-known for her "Wide Open Spaces," propelled by the Dixie Chicks into one of the all-time, best-selling country songs, is wowing critics with her just-released New Dog, Old Tricks. Here she teams up with Shelley King, current Texas Musician of the Year. Now that's a good combo plate. Austin Moose Lodge 1735 Lonesome Dave Fisher 8:30 Country, RockabillyDoes rockabilly the way the originators like Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash done it. Austin's Pizza Natalie Zoe Jazz Trio 8:00 JazzAccomplished musician turned jazz vocalist, whose sung with the Taj Mahal, Warren Zevon, And David Allen Coe. Now that's a palette. B.D. Riley's Hosea Hargrove 10:00 / No Cover Blues, R&BEven in the juxtaposition of an Irish pub setting, Hargrove is real enough to feel the experience of the 1960s Chitlin' Circuit with a busted air conditioner. Broken Spoke Dale Watson 8:30 / $ CountryLeather-clad country icon brings his countrypolitan to the venerated dance floor at the Spoke. Cactus Café Sunny Sweeney & The Wights 8:30 / $7 Country Classic country music with local gal Sunny Sweeney. Carousel Lounge Raised by Pandas, Tandem Dilettantes 7:00 / No Cover Singer Songwriter, Acoustic PopRaised by Pandas is the performing name for happy folkster Anthony Salerno. Tandem Dilettantes up first with a less jangly side of acoustic pop. Cedar Street SPAZMATICS 8:00 / No Cover '80s Rock, New WaveThe SPAZMATICS will stop at nothing to entertain, complete with ridiculous attire and choreography. Thing is, they succeed at what they set out to do: good times are had. Central Market South Flying Balalaika Brothers 6:30 / No Cover Bluegrass, Russian FolkFlying Balalaika Brothers fusion of American and Russian mountain music (and zany antics) could've ended the Cold War a whole lot sooner. Among the "brothers" is Zhenya Kolykhanov (Z-Rock), founding member of Red Elvises. Chain Drive Shand Walton, A Faulty Chromosome, Tommy Hall Schedule 10:00 / No Cover ShoegazeA Faulty Chromosome dabble with hazy melodies and electronic eeriness. Continental Club James McMurtry, The Greyhounds 10:00 / $7 Roots Rock, FunkMcMurtry returns from the road to his weekly midnight residency. The Americana laureate mixes acerbic social commentary, quaint storytelling, and gritty Crzy Horse rock. Early set by The Greyhounds is chicken-scratch funky. The kind of bluesy funk that gets grit in your teeth. Cuba Libre Cadaques 8:00 / Free Latin, Jazz, WorldIf Al Dimeola grew up in Latin America, that's what Cadaques sounds like. Smoldering Nuevo Flamenco, that's another way to put it. Elephant Room Ephraim Owens Quartet, Jazz Pharaohs 6:30 / No Cover JazzAmong town's most renowned jazz musicians, Ephraim Owens' (9:30) tone is the gold standard for trumpet. Jazz Pharaohs weekly happy hour is easily the best regular jazz gig in town. Toe tappin' jazz from the pre-bop era. Emo's (inside) Thao With the Get Down Stay Down, Horse Feathers 10:00 / $10 IndieD.C. indie outfit Thao With The Get Down Stay Down officially passed the blogosphere buzz threshold to full-on indie hit, bordering on twee, but never going full happy-skip tilt to fit that maligned label. Emo's (lounge) Indian Jewelry, Cry Blood Apache, Expensive Shit, Benko 9:00 Indie, ExperimentalStrong, multi-faceted lineup. Cry Blood Apache whoop up the war cries on boring indie; beat-driven, industrial, new wave crunk oughta sum 'em up. Local grunge purveyors Expensive Shit have a fascination with effects pedals and murky sounds. Vibraphone-led trio Benko readies their own new record, slated for late summer release. End of an Ear Thao with the Get Down Stay Down 6:00 / No CoverWarm-up show before Emo's tonight. Evangeline Café Cowboy Johnson 6:30 / No Cover Singer Songwriter, FolkFor a moment, you're disappointed he doesn't sound like the Sarsaparilla Soda Man from The Big Lebowski too. But just a moment. His soothing vocals and pointed lyrics make up for any preconceptions. Flamingo Cantina Green Room Rockers, Subrosa Union, Kevin Goes to College 10:00 / $5-$8 Reggae, Alt-rock, LatinGood Vibes Wednesday welcomes Indiana's Green Room Rockers, with as much groovy rock influence as reggae. Locals Subrosa Union bring a similar medley of influences, switching from Sublime reggae rock to a Santana-inspired mellow rocker. Flipnotics Coffeespace Jenny & the Whalers, Jennifer Jackson 8:00 Folk Rock, RootsJennifer Leonhardt leads the Whalers with a Joni Mitchell songbird quality tempered by Carole King's songwriting style and a delivery touching on everyone from Crissy Hynde to Edie Brickell. Flipnotics Triangle Paul Klemperer 8:00 Jazz, BluesBlues-drenched jazz master, saxophonist Paul Klemperer has opened for B.B. King, Neville Gbrothers, Ray Charles and toured with Marcia Ball, Seth Walker and more. Ginny's Little Longhorn Roger Wallace 9:00 CountryWallace coaxes dancers out of their seats with a resonating country voice. Headhunters Reason to Rebel, Mutant Press, Mother's Anger 9:00 Heavy MetalSan Diego's Reason to Rebel feature Chris Cornell style vocals, approaching piercing scream on a frequent basis, with a Faith No More musical influence. Hole in the Wall Leo Rondeau, Chris King, The Original Mexican Bob, Eddie Biebel 9:00 / No Cover Americana Rondeau hails from North Dakota, but Austin is the perfect home for his plaintive, red dirt Americana. Mexican Bob straddles the introspective side of Americana. Jovita's Boonetown 8:00 / No Cover BluesBlues purists more apt to play a Freddie King some note for note than to have ever heard a John Mayer song. Lamberts The Moonhangers 7:00 Roots RockA CCR bayou feel lies not too far beneath the oft-twangy surface of the Moonhangers. Mean-Eyed Cat The Drakes 8:00 Americana, Rock Drakes frontman Matt Giles wears his J.J. Cale influence on his sleeve, but gets the rock rollin' a bit more. Momo's Dan Dyer, Matt Powell Trio, Eric Matthen Tepe, RiverLeft 8:00 / $5-$7 Rock, Soul, AmericanaDan Dyer's (9:30, $7) piano-led, soulful musicscape draws on Stevie Wonder, and reaches incredible heights. Matt Powell (8:00, $5) brings a penetrating rock voice with a lot of southern rock and blues influences. RiverLeft (12:30am, $5) come from New Orleans with a more southern rock, twangy version of early Dave Matthews. The Parish The Hold Steady, The Loved Ones 8:00 / $20 RockHold Steady show originally booked at La Zona Rosa moves to a sold out Parish. Hailing from Brooklyn, this Rolling Stones meets a modern day Eddie and the Cruisers brings guitar rock loudness and witty slices of Americana. Following up their successful freshman effort is their new release Stay Positive. Hold Steady have no problem sustaining energy. The Parlor Las Damas, Spiderlegs 9:00 IndieParmer Lane Tavern Pete Benz 9:00 CountryStraight-up, George Strait-style country. Plush Weight w/ The Herd 10:00 DubstepRoots reggae with grimy electronica. Weight's monthly Plush gigs have turned into bi-monthly (first and third Wednesdays) due to crowd response. Red 7 Black Cobra, Slough Feg, Sirhan Sirhan, Lions of Tsavo, The Flood 8:00 Dark MetalSan Fran's Black Cobra explore the darker sides of metal, while fellow San Franciscan's Slough Feg inject a touch of Celtic fare into otherwise straight-up metal with high-pitched licks and a flair for the dramatic. Room 710 Unnamed Project for Revenge, Arm the Angels, The Dry Season, Code Named Code 9:00 / $5 Alt-Rock, GrungeAustin's Unnamed Project takes revenge on the indie scene that snuffed out the glory years of grunge rock, finding influence from Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins wondering why they couldn't get along in one style. Ruta Maya Cienfuegos 9:00 / $5 Latin, CubanThe perfectly exquisite Cuban sounds start at 9. But come earlier (7:30) and a salsa lesson is included with the cover. Good thing; you'll want to dance all night long. Saxon Pub Monte Montgomery, Paula Nelson, Megan Tubb 8:00 / $5-$10 Rock, BluesMonte Montgomery's (10:00, $10) fretwork is typically described as mind blowing, or crazy difficult. He combines deft finger picking with advanced chording that gets guitar nuts goin' nuts. Montgomery is bookended by ladies leading electrifying blues rock bands: Paula Nelson (8:00, $5) and Meagan Tubb (midnight, $5). Scholz Garden Bruce Robison 7:30 / No Cover Americana, Folk, Singer SongwriterWith a new album slated for September, folk rock favorite Bruce Robison is poised to show a New World.

Trophy's Makeshift Gentlemen, The Tangle, Egshan 10:00 / $5 Indie Rock, ElectroSt. Louis' electro-trash rock four-piece, Makeshift Gentlemen, should do a good job of blowing the scene at Trophy's. Austin's New Orleans transplants via Katrina, The Tangle blend indie with roots rock and a soulful vocal delivery. Victory Grill The Blues Posse 9:00 / No Cover BluesWeekly Wednesday Mojo Jam Session. Z'Tejas Stephen Doster, Will Sexton, and Bill Carter 6:30 / Free Roots Rock, Singer SongwriterIn the bar side of the popular restaurant, the weekly gig showcases brilliant songwriting and musicianship.
