ksl2025! Hope you had a terrific day!
Still fall. But this weekend was warmer than it has been for a while - actually got up into the mid sixties. Went shopping yesterday. Ended up with a couple of things from the LnT (from their sell off sale) and a direction for the over-cloak for the Project Wizard costume. Oh. And a new shirt that cost all of three dollars (score!).
We also looked through one of those Halloween costume shops. One that is already advertising their November 2nd sale. And saw lots of hats I'll be able to hopefully pick up on the cheap for Hansel and Gretel costumes this winter.
Unsurprisingly, the halloween shop was packed with people. Kinda-did-but-shouldn't-have surprised me there was a lot more (cheap ass) fetish gear than I was expecting. I'm going to be really lame this year, and wear my "spooky" tee-shirt, my halloween socks, and kinda leave it at that. I also will be hiding somewhere not home next Friday. I just can't deal with the dozens of kids that troll my neighborhood. If it were just the neighborhood munchkins (of appropriate age), I would be fine with that, but it seems we get packs of roving (older) teens, too. And with trick or treat being a Friday night, I'd rather just skip the whole thing this year. Too bad the party I'm going to had to be scheduled for the first, I could have avoided the whole give-candy-out-thing completely. Maybe I'll hide out at Gwen's. Last year she only got one group of trick or treaters.
And then, after the party I've got Spookapella V! This year we've got Firedrill, Syncopation, and Ball in the House. None of whom I've seen live. Last Spookapella was Duende, Moosebutter, and Harmanatryx. It will be a really good time!

I do not hand out candy either. For many of the same reasons.
I don't dress up either. Shrug. Was never really my thing.

Costumes I can do. I've got all the costumes I have made and own, plus about a quarter of the costumes owned by my home theatre group (because I ended up with the costumes at the end of a show in the spring and we're moving costume storage anyway so I just kept them for the time being) are living in my front closet.
So costumes aren't a difficulty at all.
I am glad you had a good birthday!!
