Halloween!
Carl-E:
I was gonna resurrect last year's Halloween thread (here), but decided to start from scratch...
Thing is, my town is a small (~75,000) city in the middle of rural PA. About 30 or 40 years ago, when there were actual gang problems, the town decided it would be safer for the little ones to have trick-or-treat away from the more grown-up halloween festivities (not to mention the vandalism...). So trick-or-treating is always the Thursday before Halloween, so we're already all done. I'm not attending a party this year, and I had to teach Thursday night, so no real festivities for me - I don't even have a costume.
But I got pics of our punkins and such from Thursday. I know a lot of you are probably attending parties for the holiday, so do us a favor - snap a pic, and when the hangover wears off, show it off here!
Anyway, here's this year's crop of jack-0-lanterns; the pirate ship's mine, the pirate head and the unicorn/witch are my younger daughter's, Hello Kitty is my older daughter's, the cat is a friends, her daughter made the snowman, and my wife made the creepy looking baby jack-o-lanterns.
Meet Fred. He watches over the graves in the side yard.
Fred and some friends.
the house entrance before night fell. Yes, we make the kiddies climb the steps for candy...
Trick-or-treat only lasts 2 hours, but we have 300 - 500 kids come by the house. Besides the neighborhood kids, there are vans and SUV's that pull up and drop kids in front of our house...
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Zingoleb:
I was learning to contact juggle for Halloween, 'cause back in New York there was a coffeeshop called The Labyrinth, so I was going to stand in front of it dressed up like David Bowie and juggle. Now I'm probably not doing anything (no plans, anyways - things have a tendency to come up for me at the last second!)
Barmymoo:
I am... wait I'm not doing anything for Halloween. Instead of going to a Halloween party I went to a comedy gig where lots of scientists played tiny guitars, lots of mathematicians made jokes I didn't understand and two people sang hilarious songs about vegetables.
On balance it was very surreal.
Anyway! I need some Halloween photos to live vicariously through.
Blue Kitty:
I'm surprised someone didn't make this thread earlier
Here's the Koffing pumpkin I carved
Sadly I don't have anything to do, but I will most likely dress up for class. After class I'm gonna hang out with my girlfriend and watch horror movies.
jwhouk:
I'm going as a disgruntled state employee.
That way, I don't have to dress up.
