So? Plans/Plots/Pranks for "The OTHER good holiday"? Let's hear 'em.....

For me, two words: HAUNTED HAYRIDE.

After the carnage at SF Decom, we can only offer up :

"ROBOTIC POSSESSION"

however, unsure as to what day we'll invite the "demons" to possess our robotic soul, since Hallows Eve vs. "nevada day" provides for odd-scheduling here in the wasteland....

All I know for sure is that we're having a party.

Would be game for another Kamp Apok Robotronic Dance-Off,
(personal top 5 at SF decom)
anyone?
anyone?

Space Kernul?
anyone?
Mr Jellyfish Mister?
anyone?

d6,
robotronian,
i swear they were full of medication.

I'm dressing up as Ap-Uautu. I got one of those faux firepots and I'm going to make the trick-or-treaters reach through the flames to get their candy...sort of a rite-of-passage thing

You know, they're actually going to have a "How to make your front door a seriously killer Hallowe'en display" at the Home Improvement Show in town this weekend. It's hosted by the local Michael's — yeah, it's corporate, but their store has some really cool people on staff. A number of Pagans. I support Pagan businesses

Eh, it was a bust!

Due to climactic conditions (read: it was raining cats 'n dogs and blowing like parrots to boot), trick-or-treat was more or less cancelled throughout the complex and I only got a dozen or so kids showing up, in four groups. So I only got to do my "rite of passage" schtick three times — a friend who came to hang out handled one. And she brought a boatload of candy, too, because she grew up here and they took Hallowe'en seriously in her neck of the woods. She told me tales of seven hundred trick-or-treaters, city sidewalks crawling with people in costume, and running out of candy an hour and a half into it.

Anyway...
About an hour into the first lull, I started getting sick. The radiation treatment is starting to get to me and I was also running a slight fever, so I didn't feel altogether too hale and hearty. But the upshot was, we had enough candy to fuel a small Mardi Gras parade and nobody showed up. And the punchline is, my friend and I had the best costumes!

You still get kudos, for fightin' the good fight...Hallowe'en On! I was one of two dresser-uppers at work, and saw ZERO Participants downtown. Lame. Our party was a keg circle, with half the attendees out-of-uniform. What the hell's WITH people these days? "More fun for me" is one thing...But I can't have ALL the freakin' fun!

I got a goodly amount of trick or treaters, and except for one group of tweens, the parents were out in force with the kids, in costume yet. In Ogden we get the big sprawling Hispanic families; mom and dad and uncles and cousins and a bazillion kids at the door all at once. I know some of them get candy twice, I lose track when there's at least a dozen kids in a swarm, love it love it love it.

The big sprawling Mormon families have "Trunk or Treat" a supposedly safe way to get candy, the church has the adults park their cars and hand out treats in the church parking lot. Where's the fun in that? And if you aren't a member of the ward, you're not invited to give candy to their kids because they don't know for certain you're "safe." Grr. All this paranoia, and there still was a kid who got a vial filled with cocaine residue down in Lehi at the church function. True report, it was heavily covered locally.

My flame coat gots lots of compliments, even from kids. Whee!

"Residue".....Whatta cheapskate.
