It was a dark and spooky night…not that spooky, but it was chilly. Most of the day I wore my “The Great Pumpkin is watching you” t-shirt. I had a quick to-go dinner then I gathered up all my Green Fairy bits and pieces. There aren’t too many trick-or-treaters in the neighborhood. Only half of them wear costumes, the other half wear normal clothes and carry bags for candy. It’s a little depressing. With the porch light turned off, it was time to head out to some Halloween parties.

Did I mention it was chilly? I ended up changing into Kaylee around 11PM. We met some people at a local watering hole to see their midnight costume contest. There was no parking and a line that began to wrap around the building. Apparently this was the place to be. I met Micheal Jackson. I saw Prince but he was too busy with a pool game to be bothered. Kermit and Miss Piggy were as friendly as can be. Velma was there with the Headless Horseman (fantastic costume!). It seemed many of the costumed party goers had chosen the duds from the ’sexy’ line of costumes. We waited. Only it didn’t happen. Oh, most folks were in costume, including the staff, but for some reason they never stopped the music long enough to get the festivities underway…

Perhaps they finally held the contest after we left. We ended the evening by going to a karaoke bar. A good portion of the people there were in costume. The bouncer was the Tin Man and the bartenders were the Angel and Devil that sit on your shoulders. The first person I saw was Richard Simmons in his “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” tank top out sweatin’ to the music on the dance floor. I saw Barbie, a bride, a cat, and several more. I snapped a picture of Dr. Horrible drowning his sorrows. Poor guy. It sure is tough being a villain these days. Unfortunately we arrived just as the place was winding down. Many people left before I could get out my camera. It was a lot more fun then the over crowded club from earlier.

Here are a few pictures. I wish I could have taken more pictures at our first stop, but there were too many people bustling around for me to stand back and take pictures. I kept getting trampled. At least we saw a lot of neat costumes.
