Haunted Happening Parade/Witching Hour Sightings

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.
