1. Figure out a Halloween Costume.
This should be an easy one, but is strangely difficult for me this time. The past couple of years I had some inkling of what to do for dress-up, but this time I got nothing. I typically make my costume, or even piece together something. This is making things difficult, because time is running out. It also doesn't help matters that there is one Halloween party I'm attending at the moment, and I have plenty of back up costumes.
2. Get Thee to a Hayride
Seems almost obvious being this time of year. I don't think I went to one last year though. I guess I just can't muster the group together. Well, any group together. I know they are expensive and whatever, but I don't care. This is my: Tis the season.
3. Go to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire
There are mainly 2 reasons for this. One is that I haven't been to the faire in a while. It's usually a good day all around. Plenty of people acting in character. Me feeling awkward because I don't look the part. I don't have any medieval clothing. Looking at buxom wenches. Being able to say buxom wenches and getting the actual wenches to giggle. The funny thing is that I'm not big on the whole weaponry thing.
The second reason is that a friend of mine is actually working there this season as a jouster. I mainly want to see him do what he loves. He travels the country hitting shields with lances, and he hasn't worked the PA Faire since I have known him. It doesn't hurt matters that he said I could have a complementary ticket. Frankly, I don't need the ticket, I'd gladly pay to see a good show.
4. Go to the zoo.
I haven't been to the zoo in ages. Not only is there a new baby giraffe, but there is also a Lego exhibit of animals on display. Plenty of people have said they would like to go. The problem with this one is timing. When to go? It is apparently open 7 days a week between 9 and 5. My schedule sucks when it comes to events during the week. Weekends are usually doable, but that normally conflicts with anyone else that wants to go. Such is life.
5. Pumpkin picking
This was a suggestion from my friend, Nichole. It usually doesn't occur to me, but I live exceptionally close to Linvilla Orchards. It's fairly well known in the Philadelphia area. I just about drive past it when I go to work. I have never been there. I have had friends that have worked there, but I never even saw inside the place. Still, Nichole and her boyfriend plan to going to pick pumpkins eventually. It sounds like a good time, and I could use some pumpkins that aren't local. Seriously, I had pumpkins growing in my yard last year. The leaves on those things are huge.
6. Halloween Parties that need attending
So far, I have 1 party on my docket. It's the week before Halloween. They would have planned it for the weekend of Halloween, but bigger plans for parties involved (read: not me) are occurring. Other parties could be moot if I can't figure out a costume though.
So, there you have it. A list of things I probably won't do. Lists are nice. Now, it's back to listening to Halloween mixes I've made over the last few years to figure out which songs I can't use for a new mix.
