Comments on: This Weekend http://silverspringpenguin.com/2008/10/30/weekend-18/ Your neighborhood news source Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:36:43 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Corona, Formerly Easley http://silverspringpenguin.com/2008/10/30/weekend-18/comment-page-1/#comment-19746 Corona, Formerly Easley Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:19:04 +0000 http://silverspringpenguin.com/?p=3058#comment-19746 My fiance and I watched you guys on the Promenade, it was hilarious and great fun. Cheers to the lady with the umbrella who our Eskie was happy to lick (thankfully she has not turned into a zombie puppy!) and to the hilarity of watching everyone attacking the costume shop. Jeers to the brooding angsty emo teens who kept making the obvious question/statement/catcall "halloween was yesterday, it's November 1, halloween is over" and the 14-16 year old kids trying to act hard by saying "i'm gonna slap them fools if they get up near me." I'm not sure if you can find two farther ends of the spectrum than the blogosphere folks who would be fun enough to do a Zombie Walk, and the teen groups who normally occupy Elsworth, so it made for quite the social observation. Of course, if a horde of zombie-walkers was subject to judgement by a group of slightly rowdy teens, this wouldn't have been a "silver spring" zombie walk, would it?

But for next year, please also consider an event on another evening, perhaps it could be "Night of the Living Dead Walk." Expresso shots instead of alcohol shots, Death by Chocolate cake instead of ale -- heck, maybe even some alcohol-free brew like Clausthaler. The magical spirit of Halloween is intoxicating. Adults should still be able to put on costumes and walk around without alcohol. Some of us don't get a buzz off the stuff, and aren't too comfortable around folks who are drinking.
