Day 83: Halloween

There are lots of events happening in and around Vancouver. My friends went to the Dunbar haunted house (http://www.dunbarhauntedhouse.com/) and PNE Fright Nightss (http://www.pne.ca/fright-nights/). I refused to go because I get scared easily and I didn't want to pay to get scared. Tonight I went to my friend's potluck dinner / halloween party. A friend of mine is trying to get me to go to Potters House of Horror in Surrey (http://www.pottershouseofhorrors.com/) next year.

I have found that halloween has become another commercialized holiday. There are so many items you can buy. Some people really go all out and decorate their houses. Some don't do anything and are not in the holiday spirit. It's a time for the bars to charge exuberant amounts of money for 'cover charge.'

Halloween is an opportunity for you to be someone else for one day. A man can dress up as a woman and not be called a cross dresser. You can be a superhero for a day. Women can dress up as a sexy nurse or French maid and not be called a slut. It takes alot of time and effort to plan a good costume. It would only be worth it if lots of people will be able to admire my great costume to make the effort worth it.
