I live in a high-rise so I don't have to deal with trick-or-treaters.

But for this year, I already have a reservation to have dinner at my favorite bar/restaurant. I will dress in some of my Renaissance faire/reenactment garb, and I have to remember one evening this week to watch my video copy of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.  ;D

It's not Halloween at my house without The Great Pumpkin.  ;D

I live in an apartment building too, so I don't usually get trick-or-treaters either.  But, I will probably buy myself a small amount of Halloween candy just for a treat.  And, I'll stay in.  Usually I watch seasonal and/or scary movies, but this year I'll be watching bull riding season finals (I'm such a dork, but I'm excited)!

And for a treat I might even spring for the 18-year-old scotch instead of the 12-year-old.  ;)

This Halloween I have a gig with the band I'm in.  It's at this pub on the ground floor of the downtown Sheraton, a nice place.  

We play Celtic rock and Pirate shanties, so I figure I should dress like a pirate, which has turned out to be harder than it sounds.  I thought I could pull together a costume from the stuff I have at home, but my first try just looked kinda "gypsy" and the second makes me look like a waitress at Red Lobster.

Back to the drawing board I guess.  Can't believe how preoccupied I am with this!   ::)

There must be about a bazillion web sites selling pirate--or, at least, piratical--garb. Just look under "Costumes" on eBay. That might garner some useful ideas, if you're having trouble getting "the look."  :)

I have always dressed up for Halloween, and usually attend a party of some sort.

I also go trick-or-treating with my friends' kids.


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Usually dress up, go to a club, parade and/or private party.

Then late, hold a private ritual for my beloved Dead.
