Smell my feet, give me something good to eat.
Last October 31, I awoke to find a leopard in my living room. He was stealthy and sly, and he had the eyes of The Scamp.
I’m more excited for Halloween hijinks than I’ve been since I was a child myself. For years I’ve watched the fun stuff that goes on around the neighborhood — including the Clinton Avenue haunted house — from the sidelines, but now that The Scamp is here and old enough for action, I can’t wait to make the rounds, check his candy for razor blades, and eat it all myself. There’s certainly no shortage of events happening in the immediate area:
Saturday the 20th
Still Hip’s Costume Swap from 1 to 4pm
Saturday the 27th
Fort Greene Park Halloween Festival from noon to 4pm
Wednesday the 31st
BAMboo! from 4 to 7pm
Children’s Halloween Walk from 5pm (pick up map at DeKalb Ave. and Hall St.)
