Consorting with our fellow evil-doers

Apparently, according to some people, there is a law that Christine the Curmudgeon was not aware of. Said law requires that everybody stay at home on Halloween, and hand out candy. If you don’t, you are evil and horrible and bitter and lonely and don’t deserve to exist.
I am not making this up, some jackwads on Facebook said this to me. Apparently, if I can’t even devote two hours of my life, once a year, to make other people’s kids happy, I am a mean, bitter loser.
Well, there are legions of other people who are just as evil and bitter as I am. Many of them were hanging out at The Great Pumpkin Festival, at the Cambridge Brewing Company.
The event began at 4PM, and went until 1AM, with last call being at 12:30AM. That more than covered the trick-or-treat hours, when we were supposedly required by law to be at home handing out candy. Hmm…surprised that the cops didn’t come and raid the place, for making people break the law…LOL!
I seriously get sick of people who think that Halloween is just for kids, and we adults need to suck it up and hand out candy. This Great Pumpkin Fest was a 21+ event, due to the fact that its primary purpose was to serve a wide range of pumpkin beers. There was also a special menu, jut for the evening, of wonderful dishes made with pumpkin. Pumpkin ravioli…YUMMIE!
Many people showed up in costume, which was fun, even though we didn’t dress up. The whole place was decorated with pumpkins, corn stalks, and artificial christmas tree lights, except these were actually orange Halloween lights. It was really nice!
Anyone who says that Halloween is just for kids, and the rest of us need to accept that, needs to put a sock in it!
