Much confusion is forecast in this country for the next few years of Halloweens. What to do when the biggest amateur fetish party night falls on a Monday? The problem is exasberated in a city like Seattle where things seem to trickle into either the stay home & watch TV or riot in the streets of Pioneer Square categories with no middle ground.
It's confusing. If you get all dolled up in your can-can dancer, naughty nurse or pirate outfit and head down 1st Ave Monday night to wet your whistle, will you be part of a revelrous throng of costumed freaks or very, very awkward standing at the bar in a tutu while the rest of the place pretends to be oblivious to the holiday.
Many in the city are taking matters into their own hands and declaring Saturday the 29th to be the party night. Even little guys like Mira! and Cafe Bella have flyers posted advertising Saturday night events.
Still, there is confusion. Is Saturday night Halloween Part I and Monday, Halloween Part II: The Nightmare Isn't Over? Should I wear my 'Cool Guy' t-shirt costume both nights or get a different 'This IS my costume' edition for Monday?
October 31st is not Halloween. Halloween, from this day forward, is the last Saturday in October. I don't know who is in charge of setting holidays that we don't actually get a day off for but we need them to act. Hallmark, are you out there? The city of Seattle and its trick-or-treating citizens are depending on you.
