Okay, loves. I'm getting the sillies out of my system for the next hour, before final, late-night revisions.
What is one spectacularly spooky thing you'd like to do this month?
I will accept all answers except "get my life in order": there's spooky, and then there's just plain freaky. 🙃 Save that weirdo nonsense for the new year!
This is beautifully wholesome, BillyBones. I imagine the last few years of pandemic haven't made it easy to plan for such a thing, but I can't imagine folks not saying "heck yes!" to partaking.
Would it be feasible to pull off this year, do you think?
@MLClark 2/2
Sadly I could have pulled it off a few years ago, but people move and yes, there are fewer face to face things like this now. We're good friends with multiple Pagans, some of whom used to host fun parties along similar lines (but without the full dressup thing), but they fizzled out too.
And a quick aside - I've been acknowledging these when I come across them - you chose a wonderful Halloween screen name! 🧡
@MLClark I'm sure you saw a pic I share here from time to time of the most fun I had one Halloween when we played at The Cavern Club in Liverpool where we were the house band for a while. We all dressed up and had a ball.
My bassist went on to do a stint in a band Richard O'Brien (Rocky Horror) put together where it was basically Halloween every night. The only stipulation, that didn't bother my friend, was that he had to be a girl for all appearances 🤣 (I won't share those pics here!)
Oh, what a joyous event it sounds like that was! I mean, quite a step away from a rad trivia night party with friends at home, but there's a Hallowe'en event for every season in our lives, eh?
Thanks for sharing the fun! I hope you get the lovely, spooky, but not *too* sordid season of delights you'd prefer!
@MLClark Thanks! I enjoy Halloween (actually everything from today up until New Years Eve is magical for me) but don't do gore - I'm too squeamish! I'm all about the fun side of these next 3 months & even host a month-long Christmas Countdown/party for my friends on FB that's going into its 13th year!). So something like this would be a ball for me!
