Happy Halloween!

Last night, I attended the phenomenal Barebones Halloween show in St. Paul. It's a four day outdoor puppet pageant and performance featuring pryotechnics, larger than life puppets, and live music.



I have never seen anything like it, the performances were wonderful and the giant puppets are insanely cool. I had to catch my breath.



If you have time, tonight or tomorrow night, get on over to Hidden Falls Park in St. Paul. The show is free, but donations are highly encouraged. If you go tonight there is also a Halloween party after the show!

Trick or Treat

One more day to Halloween! Since I can no longer go out for Trick or Treat, I'll just oogle candy online until my salivary glands dry up.

I have a weak spot for caramels, and stumbled on this delectable looking one pound bag of homemade Vanilla Caramels by Have It Confections for $16 today. Yum delish!

Brains To Wear

Got an office job? Wondering how to be classy yet creepy for Halloween? Grab this hand dyed silk Brain Scarf over at Crystal J for $57.

Brains not your thang? There are also anatomical hearts, skulls and spiders to choose from. Oh, and cute robots (!)

Mmmmm....Braaaaiiinnnns....

Lovely brain bowl from foldedpigs for $20

Girl On Bike

Turn the sound on. Watch it. Upload it. Send it to your friends.

Blood For Thought

I was listening to my all too awesome Halloween playlist this morning on the way to work (think The Cramps, Bobby "Boris" Pickett...etc) and it got me thinking about monsters. I have to ask myself : why are vampires my favorite? To hell with werewolves, frankenstein's monster and the swamp thing. Vampires are where it's at.

Food for thought. Is it the immortality thing? Are they at the top of your list? Why?

Minneapolis is host to a great many interesting Halloween events, one being the Haunted Basement at the Soap Factory. Last year, it was sold out before I could get in. I'm getting my tickets in advance this year. $15 a pop! Click here to buy tickets.
