Haunted Happening Parade/Witching Hour Sightings

[bkdelong]

Kirky (kiekre) and I noticed a great number of cars and traffic headed into Salem tonight so I looked up the local calendar and noticed they moved the Grand Opening of the Salem Haunted Happenings events to tonight. We fed Will (wkdelong) and hurried down the street. Kirky wore her "You Know Who, We Know Where" TLC shirt and Will & I sported our matching "Sirius Lives! (No really, Shut UP!)", shirts from "The Summit Formerly Known As Prince".

We took turns with The Man on our shoulders and apparently people noticed his shirt but not while he was with me. I spotted a handful of authoritative TWH staffers wearing telltale acid-green on black t-shirts hanging out at the brick walkway at Essex St. and Washington St., until the realized they could sit at the median. Frankly, I thought our spot at the corner of Rockafellas was perfect.

The parade had a great contrast of old and new with the woman who played Tabitha Stevens, (Erin Murphy), from Bewitched as the Grand Marshall and Chris Rankin - Percy from the Harry Potter movies. That was a nice touch.

I have Will tomorrow morning until lunch and then I may go into town to see who I can find. It's nice to have the show in my own town - I can blend in as a local and point & laugh at the tourists. ;) I doubt anyone will recognize me unless they've done their homework - I dont think anyone CARES.

My guests, (melissatlc, arabellasq, prettyannamoon, spinjock1978, and maybe even mrsronweasley), arrive tomorrow evening. I think another Serenity viewing is due this weekend as well in between all day Red Cross training Sat & Sun.

ETA: You can track the LJ entries on TWH at Google Blogs.

Heh! Didn't realize that you were living that close by!

Enjoy the festivities. It's been a couple of years since we've made it into Salem for Halloween. And I'm sure it will be a year or more. Granted, it's a fun city no matter what time of year it is.

Yeah, just a few miles down south. I like Salem in late Spring and Fall. Sometimes even in Winter it can be beautiful to walk around in.

Jealous!

So jealous of all y'all at TWH. Think of me, I'm stuck in an elementary school computer lab writing new Science curriculum instead of partying with everyone at TWH :( Say HI to the Leaky gang, I'm really upset Doris gets to hook up with ya and I don't--you still owe me from PP, I expect repayment :D
