Halloween in the Castro.
Last night was CRAZY!
Adam and I were all dressed up, me as Alice in Wonderland and him as the White Rabbit. I wore a costume that my Grannie and I made years ago, it's a short little blue dress with a white apron, with lots o' crinolin. I bought Adam a pair of white scrubs and he wore a white shirt, that had a big pink oval on it so he would have a pink belly. He also wore ears, a tail and a card stock clock. And the best part, his suit jacket, becasue he was a well dressed White Rabbit. I think we were cute, but I don't think that anyone really understood what we were trying to achieve.
My friend (the Canadian hater) wore a Mr. Incredible costume, and everybody recognized him. We were peppered all night with: "Hey it's Mr. Incredible!", "The Incredibles!", "I loved your movie man!"
Personally I think us not being understood and him being recognized says something about society. We're losing the classics. That's sad. Granted I'm a classic children's literature snob, but Disney has helped to keep some going... geeze, I even opted to look like the Disney version of Alice.... sigh.
Anyhow, we left the event early, there were a lot of people and I didn't want to die.
This morning I recieved an email from my friend at home who was a little panicy. Apparently there were 7 people shot last night at the Halloween in the Castro. I wasn't shot, we left about 10 minutes before it happened.
I was glad to leave, there were too many people there, and I couldn't appreciate all of the people because I couldn't see them. All I could see was Mr. Incredible's back. When we were higher on a hill I could see that there was about 5 blocks of people filling the streets, but that was the only time I saw that. The rest of the time I was just squashed in the middle of it all. Crazy.
I don't think I'll go back next year.
How was your halloween? If you stayed home and recieved Trick or Treaters, how many did you get?

Well, Ian's first Halloween was spent in the ER... he had a fever and was so uncharacteristically cranky that I was worried. So, off we went for a 2 hour visit, for the docs to tell us nothing was wrong, only to have me go to my doctor's the next day and find out that he has a flu bug and little ulcers in his mouth!!! WTF! So glad I went to the ER. Anyways, he's feeling better with the baby tylenol.
We only got about 30 kids to our house, and half of them were teens that weren't even dressed up. Where did the Halloween magic go?
Holy crap, glad you got out of there! Scary stuff.
Halloween here was good. Me and B went out with my sister and my neice (nephew was out of town w/his daddy). B was Cinderella, Niece was a Fairy Princess. Got lots o'loot, and had a blast.
I'll email you some pics this week.
To clarify, he doesn't hate Canadians, he thinks that Canadian women are the hottest around. But I wonder, if we're hot, aren't we liable to melt the igloos? There must be a lot of drownings up there. I can see the headlines now.
"Another hot Canadian woman dies in tragic Igloo melting accident."
