Tonight my Dad and I went to the Dallas Stars vs. Minnesota Wild game at American Airlines Center. It was pretty great. The Stars jumped out to an early lead only 13 seconds in and that pretty much set the tone for the rest of the night with them winning 4-2 and thoroughly dominating Minnesota.
Anyways, obviously it’s near Halloween, so lots of crazy and stupid promotions happen around this time of year. It just so happens that prior to the game a KISS tribute band from Dallas named Destroyer played in the plaza outside the south entrance to the AAC. These guys were pretty lame and anyone that knows me knows that I’m not the most P.C. guy around and make my fair share of inappropriate jokes but when my Dad mentions how fruity you are as “Paul Stanley” then that’s not a good thing.

This story comes to you courtesy of Chris Kellerman, a good friend of mine who is currently in Washington, DC on a political internship.
Halloween morning comes along and one of Chris’ co-workers asked him, “Hey, are you going to the drag race tonight?” So that get’s Chris thinking, “DRAG RACE! How fun, my love of Fast and the Furious will finally be fulfilled in REAL LIFE.” So he says, “No… tell me about it.” The co-worker replies, “Well, a bunch of drag queens race in heels!” Chris caught completely off guard then flatly replies, “No, no I will not be going to that.”
Haha, I could actually hear the disappointment in Chris’ voice when he told me this story. He got really amped a few weeks ago when he heard there was a possibility of The Fast and the Furious 4 coming out starring both Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, so I can understand his disappointment.

Wednesday beginning at 5:30pm at Casa de Chris, Jared, and Kyle we will be having a nice little Halloween celebration. The festivities will include old school horror movies (i.e. Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, etc.), handing out candy to the neighborhood kids that will be trick-or-treating, and grilling out on the back patio for those that want to bring their own meat/buns/etc. with which to do so.
We simply ask that everyone coming please bring one bag of candy to help contribute to the pile that we will be handing over to the little witches and goblins and Hannah Montana’s running around outside. Please let me know ahead of time if you plan to come so that we can get a decent head count, see you all there. E-mail me at:

Halloween is less than a week away. A few of us plan on going to see 30 Days of Night at the Drive-In tomorrow. It should be a good early start to Halloween seeing a vampire movie, who knows? We might also get together next weekend for a post Halloween old horror movie marathon, those details are still in the works, so check back for more on that. Just in case you needed to be scared… BOOOO!
In case you were wondering what the heck that picture is… it’s a picture I took of the Yoda design I carved into my pumpkin from last year. I don’t know if I’ll get the chance to do another one this year, we’ll see.

I would definitely have to say that last night was one of our most successful parties ever. The turn out was amazing, we had great food, great games, guests from out of town, and no drunken belligerency. Some of the costumes: 2 Clark Kents, Lana Lang, Tom Cruise from Risky Business, 2 Mormons, 2 Towel-heads, Bill Cosby, a Ghost, a StarFleet officer, a Lion, 2 Nerds, Gum on a Shoe, Hugh Heffner, etc. Those were just a few of those who showed up of which there were many.
