Oh, we are going. But, I'm gonna miss all of the good stuff due to trick or treating. Actually, BOO would probably like to go to the earlier parts of this. But, I am sure, candy will prevail.

I'm so glad there's something happening here for Halloween! I was starting to worry... what with eveyone else running off to New Orleans! I'll be a late arrival, too. Tricks & treats come first in our family as well.

One of the performers is my new brother-in-law, Bill Hice. Maybe I can get there in time to see him & then stay for Michael & Zeo. Who else will be hanging in K-Town & attending?

Alas, I am going to be a rebel and not go down to New Orleans. I will be attending the Fairbanks shindig, since people tell me it's a cool place. I'll keep an eye out for you Mo.

So, who else is going to be with the non-traveling K-town crew on Halloween?

So glad to know that I'll see a familiar face as I am almost sure John and I might make it out. He will have to be at work at 3am but if I have company to hang with, I can stick around later. I definitely will be in town and would LOVE to be there.

You won't have to pay twice if you show up early and stay. The earlier you get there, the less it will cost at the door. Show up between 7:00 and 9:00, pay a measly $6.00 and stay til dawn. No extra charge unless you leave early and want to come back later.
The later you arrive, the more it will cost to get in.

"Groovy! I am so there! This is walking distance from my place!

Stumbling distance more than likely...That does make it all the more killer doesn't it! :twisted:

I cannot get over how expensive taxis are in this freaking town.

You live closer to it than Shadow. And, I'm sure someone will be able to drive you home if need be.

I will be in New Orleans, so I'll be walking and stumbling quite a bit that entire weekend...... :twisted:

Excellent news. I like it when festivities are close. What is the big New Orleans bash? It looks like we will all have to all drink extra hard at Sanctus since so many people will be shaking it in New Orleans for the 31st. FUN!!!
