I always miss out passing out candy at home on Halloween because I get home so late. So I get my fill of dressing up and passing out of candy at our campground in the first weekend of October.
We set up an old screen room, cover it up with black plastic and fill the inside with strobe lights, a jumping spider, a fog machine and many other decorations. It’s typically scary enough that some kids don’t want to come in. Sometimes the adults don’t want to either.
With Halloween being on a Saturday next year I’ll actually get to participate.
I did almost hit a couple while I was driving home because they decided it was a good idea to walk across the street directly in front of me, with the sun already down, wearing black clothes and carrying their baby in a carrier.

I don't get trick-or-treaters. Part of living in the basement. Sounds like fun though.

No, I don't drive to or from work. My wife uses the car during the week.
As much as commuting pisses me off, I don't miss driving to/from work. At least I can read while I commute if someone's ass isn't in my face. I also lived in NYC for 10 years (<--- hipster!) and gotta say I prefer chicago buses to the El. The El makes the MTA look like the Orient Express.
I will try Arctic Panzer Wolf. Me and my work bros (and sises) are going to the half acre browery for a hoe-bro-down next week, but one of these days I'm going to arrange an overnight in Munster just to go to 3 Floyd's. You probably already know this but they have special shit there they can't market because of state laws (for example, they can't sell "Drunk Monk" in Illinois because it has the word "drunk" in the name).

While we're on the subject of the CTA, this past Tuesday, I was waiting for the bus at Grand and Homan around 7:30 AM, and a bus came careening around the corner and totally sideswiped a parked car, and totally shredded and sent flying its driver-side rear-quarter-panel. The bus driver just kept going, I got on, and rode to work. LOL!

Wow! I didn't actually know you can't buy drunk monk in IL- what a bunch of bullshit. I tell ya's tho, you'll absolutely love arctic panzer wolf. Monks a solid beer too. It's done I think for season but Apocalypse Coe is outstanding.
I love Three Floyds, but I think their attitude towards people sucks ass. Very much like globo-gym but with bearded brew snobs. I personally like them a lot, the dudes at door recognize me and are super cool- but I've heard some horror stories about them making people wait outside... Like making a pregnant woman who went for a friends birthday party, wait outside in sleeting rain instead of accommodating her.
That's a warning! If there is a wait, no waiting room inside and you cannot go to the bar and grab a brew. You have to wait outside or in your car and they will call you when they have a table available. I've seen people legit wait for 3 hours. Karmas a ***** though, I've heard they aren't nearly as busy as they used to be because other craft breweries are almost, if not, just as good and don't treat customers like shit(Boulevard brewing is my favorite).
Try to get early, and be super cool with the door guys- I've been able to cut in line before because the dudes liked me and I wasn't a pretentious dickhead snob, which they get all the time.
Overall, you'll love it. The beers will get you smoked and you'll definetly need a DD. Whatever they put in their hops, I get goofy as hell.lol
Oh and let it be known Revoltion and Anti Hero are overrated as ****.

As we've discussed, I'm not a fan of most of Revolution's beers either, but they do make a nice double (and that's about it). Thanks for the Floyds' tipz

You need a hop pun in there. Like "The Hoptler Youth" or "Hoproshima" or "Suicide by Hop"
