Snooze-o-ween
Is it just me, or was last night the deadest-assed Halloween in memory?
I mean, I wasn't gonna go to some Natoma St. warehouse party till five in the morning like I did a couple of years ago (what with the newborn and all), but seriously -- the PO-leece shut the Castro right the fuck down (some sad, sad photos on sfgate, even if in recent years it's become more of a place for shootings, stabbings, and tubby homophobic un-costumed gawkers from Hayward to come and holler about all the fay-gits and dudes that totally look like CHICKS, man!, and it's probably a good thing for just one year, to give it a rest), and so on, and even on our quiet little street, full of little 1950s houses with neat lawns and jack-o-lanterns on every patio, instead of the usual steady stream of wee Spidermans and Bratz dolls, we got exactly two (2) groups of trick-or-treaters: our neighbors from down the street with their two little girls, and a bunch of about 5 young kids with one teen chaperone. We have enough leftover candy to last through Valentine's Day. I saw no costumes out in the town yesterday, no decorations in stores -- what happened? Is it just because it was a Wednesday, or are there more sinister forces (i.e. the killjoys of the world) at work here?
