So, it’s Halloween 2008! You’re going to take your kids out trick our treating from about 6-8pm, or maybe you’ll be passing out candy at your house. Then, you’ll probably grab a pizza and take veg out in front of the TV for a few hours while overdosing on sugar!! It’s a GREAT night to go out and see a live band once the little urchins are no longer knocking at your door, and you’ve turned the outside light off!

At least for the last Saturday in “Rocktober” it’s not rainy like it was last night. Cold, but not rainy! There’s always more to do and see on Saturday than Friday, and there are always more people out - because some of us are so tired after working all week we fall asleep on the couch on Friday! Good thing I rested up because there’s plenty of things to do tonight!

Wow, it’s surely gotten a bit colder this week - we even had to break down and finally turn on the heat here at the offices! I heard on the news something about an inch of snow, but I just can’t believe that would happen this early. Although - they did say we are supposed to have 11 inches of snow by Thanksgiving, so who knows! It’s the fourth week of Rocktober, and cold or not - it’s a great time to go out and see some local live entertainment.
