I like Halloween. It teaches children to beg and threaten while dressed up and, by doing so, prepares them for their future Saturday nights.
Although I already have next year’s costume planned, I really had no idea what to do for this year. I thought I should wear some khaki pants, sneakers and a shirt that proclaimed: “I’m one of you!” but decided against it. I won’t do that. Not even for Halloween. So, instead, I’m going as Ryan Oakley going as Superman going as Clark Kent going as Satan going as Ryan Oakley. All I need for this costume is red underwear, a superman shirt to wear beneath my suit and devil’s horns. Not a problem. I have an abundant supply of all of the above.
And it’s going to be a busy night. For starters, I’ll be attending Jeff Lemire’s book launch at the Victory Cafe. It’s the third part in his trilogy and, although I already have a copy, I need to finish a book about Hitler before I get to it. From there I’ll be scooting over to El Mo — with my entourage, of course — to see a bunch of girl bands, the only one I’m aware of being Satan’s Candy. But they’re good. I suspect that I’ll be telling you more about all of this tomorrow.
After that, who knows? I’m always up for an after-party but so many people work during the week. Rather, they sit at their desks and pretend to work but it all adds up the same.
