Have a Spirited Halloween

When I was a kid, I'd get my costume at Kmart. As an adult, I get my costume at a Spirit Halloween... that's in that old Kmart. Sometimes it can be hard to remember when Spirit Halloween was a more low key operation. They're such a force to reckon with now... they've even got a movie.That's hard to believe when you think back to those older stores and their seemingly grassroots vibes. I guess that's just the passage of time for you. Something I reflected upon in this posts opening joke. Did it make you feel old? Know what else will make you feel old? This commercial is from 2008, a kid born that Halloween just started the 10th grade. Somewhere there's a picture of me getting younger.

Pizza Party

Nothing says an awesome way to close out the summer like a pizza party! As July comes to an end, even though August is generally the hottest month of summer, kids start heading back to school (normally) and you kind of just stop thinking it's summer. The next few weeks are for getting those last road trips in and cook outs out because after Labor Day, it's all over! While nothing beats a birthday party during the school year, we've all been to at least one amazing summer party at Showbiz Pizza or Chuck E Cheese!

And no matter how old you are, you were unnerved by the animatronics. Staring at you with their cold dead eyes that watched you the entire time you ate. Making you wish you never came.

Summer is a Spooky Season.
