Me? Well, I plan on haunting the park area (and I MEAN haunt) and
frightning the normals. I plan on going down with some SCA people (Society
for the Creative Anachronisim) and doing mock combat on the lake front.

This should be fun. Mainly 'cause I was almost arrested in this town for
sppeding (on a 15 speed Mountain bike.) The officer pulled me over for
doing 38 in a 30 zone a few years back. It was amusing.

I also was once 'questioned' for practicing with my bo-staff by the
lakeside. Granted I was practicing for the Renn faire and was in garb
(cloak, blacks, the 9 yards) But they havn't 'stopped' me yet...

The moon will be a flaming pumpkin. :)

> Finally, if this idea is accepted, I'll need a briefing on Halloween,
>because this feast doesn't exist in France.

Well, it started as a Pagan holiday, then it was softened up and made
commercial (like Sanity-Clause and da Easter Rabbit...) Think about it.

> The mail list is opened, so give your ideas.

Have done, happy Hallows Eve.

"It's not like talking with people. With people, anything can be said and
nothing matters. Words and words and words. You go to a party... people
sit around and say things. Anything. Just to talk. Put forth views and
debate them. Sometimes you get a new idea. Sometimes something changes"
