One duo of trick-or-treaters visited our house.
That's it.
Were the rest intimidated by our 11th-regeneration Doctor-Who-in-a-Fez pumpkin? Probably not. Anyway, I've got a lot of sour gummy candy for the folks at work tomorrow.
Our own trick-or-treating was moderately successful. My son, dressed as batman, briefly teamed up with two girls from the neighbourhood, so we wandered around with their moms for a block. We complimented the costumes of each other's kids. The princess's mom said "there are always creative costumes in this neighbourhood. Last year I saw a great robot costume with blinking lights and a colander helmet, it was awesome but the kid could hardly move."
"Yeah," we replied. "That was us."
So that's halloween 2011. And tomorrow is Movember. I've never participated before, but since I shaved off my 18 month-old beard on Saturday to dress in drag for an event at work, I may as well. Later, I'll post info about donations and the like. And maybe some photographic documentation is in order.
But hey! There's a gig coming up, so let's talk about that.
Thursday, November 3rd. At the good old Elmdale Tavern. With Shannon Rose & The Thorns. It'll be my first time working with her, but I've been a fan ever since Mike Schultz, who plays keyboards with The Thorns and trombone with me in the Mashers, brought her out to the pub. She seems like a lovely person and I dig her music. It's everything I like about Nina Persson and everything I don't dislike about Feist. I highly recommend you check her out. Preferably on Thursday at the Elmdale Tavern!
