Ah Halloween, that once yearly celebration of imagination. What's there not to love, the candy, the costumes, the parties.
Spent my Halloween weekend hitting up a gigantic hair 80s cover band at the Clarendon Grill on Friday night. I really enjoy the Grill, especially the super short and affordable cab ride home when I don't feel like walking in my ridiculous "Atomic Wedgie" costume. Saturday was spent with the massive "Nightmare on M Street" downtown bar crawl. We luckily made it out early and had some good times before the inevitable, massive crowd push. Was a great time for costume observations. Not sure what was up with all the adult
Rainbow Bright costumes, but it appears the costume companies are getting caught up with the huge 80s nostalgia obsession of my 20 somethings generation. My other random costume observation is that, in my opinion, the Borat movie owes much of its success to the free publicity by one in twenty costumed people portraying the high-fiving Borat.
Halloween night itself was spent being much more mature. Hanging out at my friends Capital Hill place handing out candy to all costumed kiddies was plenty entertaining. The weather couldn't have been better and we hung at the outside patio sipping beers while waiting for the kids (their Trick'or'Treat escorts were often jealous :-). Can't wait till next year, I'm already plotting a costume.
