OK…nearly ready for a fun, frightening weekend in Eureka. Just turned in a new story “For Poor Lucy” to BLOODLUST UK and am packing up so I can leave after work tomorrow.
So here we go…going to see Nick (and everyone else) in Jordan’s play tomorrow. After that it’s haunted houses and perhaps a meeting in the place with the thing (and rum).
Saturday night is Jeramie and Amy’s party. Be there! I’m told all are invited…do NOT assume that you are not. If you need directions, call Amy/Jeramie (or me at 224-627-6836). If you need a ride from Eureka, give me a call.
Then Sunday (Halloween!) is a bit open. If Jeramie and Amy don’t mind some company and help with trick or treaters…maybe a lazy evening of ghost stories and scary movies would be good. Maybe another haunted house later.
OK…everyone hop aboard the Halloween Weekend Express!!!
Ok….that last part sounded lame….just have an awesome Halloween (despite what misguided religious comics might say on the subject.

Misguided religious fucks.
I saw at a church in morton today when I was going in for cigarettes and alcohol (doesn’t everyone do this midday?) that the first methodist (or some version of it) is having an “All Saint’s” party on Halloween. I wanted to go tell them what Halloween was about so as to help them to realize they are bastardizing it and fucking with the natural order of things. In a way, i sort of hope the devil (or some other evil incarnation) shows up at their party and sets them straight.
Re: Misguided religious fucks.
Does that include yourself? I would say you could crash and it could have the same kind of effect.
Re: Misguided religious fucks.
it could, but i dont want to go into a church unless i have to…and helping them to see the light is not a good enough reason for me.
Not to stick up for the misguided religious fucks, but …
Actually November 1 is all saints day, has been for years. October 31 All Hallows Eve, (the day before all saints day) also became known as all souls day, I believe and was a time to pray for those in purgatory. The costumes began as a way to convince people not to go to hell, but of course this is all an appropriation of a much older set of “pagan” or at least druidic observances involving bonfires, moon observances, and other fun night time parties. Well nobody can have fun outside the holy mother church (and probably not inside either) so they umm made up a holy day.
Re: Not to stick up for the misguided religious fucks, but …
Well, All Souls Day is November 2nd. Everyone can have fun outside of Holy Mother Church…I sure do. Plus, All Souls’ Day is not a holy day…i was rasied catholic, this stuff was beaten into me my whole life…also, halloween trivia….right here.
Today is also Torrie and Jake’s anniversary…hooray whoopdie do.
