Getting Spooky

Halloween will soon be upon us, as you're probably already aware, and I enjoyed getting into the spirit of the season tonight by taking part in the South Davis Recreation Center’s annual “Spooktacular” event. This year’s shindig was, apparently, the fifth straight year that it has taken place; who knew that it would be so well attended or so much fun?
Members of the Improvables, in anticipation of our upcoming return to the stage at the Davis Center for the Performing Arts, were asked to volunteer at this event, and Ryan I ended up representing the troupe and helping to pass out candy to the many trick-or-treaters who visited Trick-or-Treat Lane.
We were there for three hours, and it was busy the entire time – far busier than any of the Trunk-or-Treats with which I have assisted. By the end of the evening, we were pretty pooped.
I dressed up - or intended to dress up - as Stoick the Vast from How to Train Your Dragon. Many of the people who came by told me they thought I was Thor, which is someone I'm more than okay with being misidentified as.
As an added bonus, Ryan reprised his Hello Kitty Darth Vader costume from a few years ago. The picture says it all:
Good times were had by all.
