So for the most part, the old Victorian Village neighborhood and the area around the House of Love III had few if any children.
The village consisted of mostly yuppies, well off older couples whose kids were in college, renters, or extremely gay men. Not quite your trick 'r treating demographics.
Campus was a nightmare of drunken retards, the homeless, or a few children who were more likely to vandalize your house than to actually go trick 'r treating.
So with the move to Clintonville came the first actual Hallowe'en in which kids would actually go out in droves begging for candy.
Quite frankly, I kind of forgot what it was like.
We had quite a few kids.
Unfortunately, some of them were a bit too old to be doing this. But at least they were in costume.
There was some 11 or 12 year old boys dressed as nothing. When Giga asked the one what he was dressed in the boy had the hilarious gall to say "male model".
That had to be the funniest possible answer that could have come out of the kids mouth!
Male model!
Man oh man I wish we had the hose set-up! I so would have doused the kid!
I bought some 50% off decorations at Big Lots.
I've had this rat for like 15 years. It used to sit in the long hallway of the House of Love II outside my bedroom door and the eyes would blink.
I think I need one more big spider in the lattice.
We gave out little tubs of Play-Doh to the cool kids. There were extremely popular.
The new school rats also seemed to be popular with the little kids.
And someone from The Domicile had to dress up. And it sure as hell wasn't going to be me or Giga!

Glad to see The Hoont got into the spirit of the day.
