Sadly, I won’t be out and about tonight taking part in the macabre merrymaking and fiendish festivities, since I’m stuck with the work pager this week, and have a five-minute tether to the internet. So no partying for me, but that’s all right. I did go out both Friday and Saturday nights, and it is a school night, so to speak. I don’t have any candy, but my neighbourhood really doesn’t get much in the way of trick or treaters. I remember last year, someone knocked on my door, and it took me a bit to remember why there was somebody there.

But if you’re looking for a place to go out and have a killer costume, the Saloon has a 1,000 dollar prize for the best one. Normally, their Monday nights are industrial music night, known as Hard Monday, but that’s being pushed aside this week for a featured DJ, and the costume contest. No shower dancers, as far as I know. How ghastly. You’ll have to do better than one of the costumes here at work, though. My boss was dressed as a South Park character (not one of the main ones, think two-dimensional….no, really two-dimensional) and it was really well done. I think he could get a job doing costume design. And here he is wasting his energies as a network engineer.
