Now, as it isn't a huge celebration on the UK yet, I have never dressed up or been to a party for the occasion or even taken part in the "trick or treating". Halloween really isn't my kind of holiday. However, being in the US, I really wanted this to change, so I went out, bought a new flannel shirt, some yellow braces and went as a generic lumberjack (due to already having an incredible beard and a good head of hair). This simple and cheap costume was good as the lumberjack is a popular thing here in New England and people got what I was dressed as.
We went out and got into town at around 10pm, every single club/bar/restaurant had a huge queue, that either didn't move, or the place was shut because they had reached maximum capacity, not at all what I was expecting. I thought that everywhere would be busy, but a good busy, lots of people, lots of energy and a helluva time. Not the case. I ended up coming home early, just after midnight infact, due to not having entered any bar, not had one sip of alcohol and no other plans in the making, this just ruined my whole perception of the American Halloween.
I know this entry has been a bit of a moan about the whole thing, but I really would have preferred being out in Bolton with my mates and just having a good laugh, so whilst I am sat in the hotel room, drinking a coca cola and watching the American version of The Office, I hope everyone out there has had a great night and aren't miserable bastards like myself!
Peace out!
