Things To Do on Halloween
One of my favorite holidays, Halloween, is almost here. Who doesn’t love pumpkins, candy, and dressing slutty (ha ha Mom! Just kidding!) People are sending me a lot of info about things to do, so I thought I would pass it along.
On the 27th: Dress up and stumble around Deep Ellum for a Halloween Pub Crawl, hosted by D.E.E.P. and Town Square Project. Starts at 8pm at the Velvet Hookah.
The 2007 Wicked Masquerade Ball at the Granada Theater features music from Reality Bites and a “very Sultry, Sexy Costume Contest” (their words, swear) with a $1000 prize.
Also on Saturday night, SushiSamba at the Galleria hosts Cosplay, which is apparently contraction of “costume” and “play” and is a Japanese custom where people dress up like characters from manga, anime, video games and movies. The winner gets $1000. There will also be a DJ and dancers.
And at Zubar, the Table Manners Crew will be spinning, and if you come dressed as a hip-hop artist, you’ll get $5 off cover at the door.
On the 28th: Victory Park is hosting a family and pet friendly Fall Harvest from 1-5pm. There will be a bounce house (for the kids, not you), pumpkin painting, treats for dogs from Lucca Bella, and food and drinks from Victory Park restaurants. On Halloween, they’re showing the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It starts at 11pm, and it’s free.
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra is performing the music of Harry Potter on the 28th.
On the 31st: The party is at Ghostbar, where Tommie Sunshine will be spinning, and LFT will be hosting a fashion show. Costumes not required, as “Ghostbar will be on sensory overload.” Discuss.
Anyone else? I’ll turn on comments.
