Halloween on a Wednesday Sucks!
So I have yet to see a single person dressed up, we’re not doing anything festive tonight, and even my poor little nephew can’t wear his costume to school because they have a “Harvest Festival” party today – not a Halloween party, because someone might get offended. That’s just not right! Depriving little kids of Halloween parades and costumed fun! I seriously doubt that we’ll see many trick-or-treaters out at all tonight.
Of course I went to a Halloween party last weekend (which was awesome – as usual – the entire cast of Gilligan’s Island, Speed Racer complete with Trixie and the monkey, and Pumpkin Pants!) and I can’t complain about that, but that was it.
It’s just bad timing. Like July 4th it’s a bad holiday for a weekday, and even more so because you don’t get the day off. Being too far away from either weekend to really get going. I think too many people just weren’t prepared last weekend, because it was still several days away – and of course, after the fact never works.
Just kind of a slow Halloween this year, which I suppose is ok. Next year though – because of leap year, it falls on a Friday – and then we’ll really go nuts!
Meanwhile…
HAPPY HALLOWEEN PORTLAND!!!
