Halloween is just around the corner and here’s just a few ways you can celebrate, whether you dress up or not.
O’Gara’s Garage Halloween Party 10/30, 9pm to 1am – It’ll be a rock and roll Halloween with bands Young and Tender, The Blend, Ghost Towns of the West and Little Man.
BareBones Halloween Puppet Show, “Carnetheria” 10/23, 24, 29, 30 and 31, 7pm – Inspired by Bradbury’s, “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” Carnetheria is more than a puppet show with masks, songs, dance and live orchestra; it’s a commentary on the use of technology and its consequences to the planet and humanity. Spooky.
Lowertown BOOS Crawl 10/30, 5pm – The 3rd Annual BOOS Crawl takes you through 8 great Lowertown bars, and the $15 ticket gets you one free drink at each stop. There are also cash and prizes throughout the night.
(And if you need a costume for your fun, L’etoile walks you through how to make a masquerade mask.)
Tell us where you’re headed. Will you be costumed?

“Tell us where you’re headed.”
Dubai
“Will you be costumed?”
I imagine to the Emiratis I will be.

Where am I going? To Hell, in the end. My costume is ready.

Halloween in St. Paul: When you see someone else walking down the sidewalk and you’re like, “Whoa! Yikes, I’m not used to seeing people here.”

That Vulcan Krewe group that haunts the Winter Carnival over there always looked kinda creepy to me.
October 19, 2010 at 3:27 pm
holy shit what’s going on, who are you, what are you doing walking around downtown St Paul!? OMG WHAT IS GOING ON?!!
October 19, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Tell us where you’re headed
A Halloween party at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. (The original plan had been to be in New Orleans over the Halloween weekend. Next year, for sure.)
Will you be costumed?
Not if I can help it.

Going to the stupid Soap Factory thing and am dreading it.
October 19, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Ooh, that Halloween Party at the Roy looks super fun. If I didn’t already have plans to attend a house party, that’s where I’d be.
Jane, don’t say uncle!
I’m thinking I may do a costume this year for the hell of it.

Ang, you mean figuratively? As in don’t concede? Or literally, DO NOT SAY THE WORD “UNCLE.” I could use any tips to help me through this horror.
October 20, 2010 at 12:55 pm
Jane: Remember, there are all artists, and you make a lot more money than they do. That’s the nightmare they live the rest of year.

I wish it was two weeks from today and I was home.
October 20, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Safe travels, Rat. Salem maeelaykum.
October 20, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Literally, Jane. “Uncle” is the safe word, so to speak. If you can’t take it, yell it out and they’ll come get you.

we had a party of 6 @ The Soap Factory on Saturday night. one self-identified as scurred before we even got there (something about always having flashlights in her purse) and she dropped out after turning the first corner. the rest of us made it through relatively unscathed in about 30 minutes. kinda wish i’d smoked a reefer beforehand to heighten my anxiety.
October 20, 2010 at 1:27 pm
Don’t do it, Jane! No one ever sees the people who cry Uncle again! Rumor is, their remains are used to make next year’s show…
(Just kidding!)

As I see it, I have four options.
1. Go and be scared.
2. Go and be underwhelmed.
3. Go and yell Uncle and then read my New Yorker while the others continue.
4. Go in wheelchair, with dark glasses and earplugs, so as to remain part of the group, technically, while basically not experiencing it at all. I like this option best, but when I’ve mentioned it to people, they think I’m weird. I think it’s weird to be scared, so there.
