October 28, 2011• bySeattle Gay Scene

We approve of this costume but it would probably only work for a warmer climate...otherwise, shrinkage would be an issue.

So very busy today so I’m cuttin’ and pastin’ the Friday portion of our big Halloween Weekend Calendar. Check out Bump! the big annual dance party produced by Gay City being held at the Showbox at the Market and the official after party, Grind! at The Baltic Room…other funtastic options include Comeback’s “Hell-O-Ween” event at Chop Suey; Neighbours is offering up “Hillbelly Hell”; the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence revisit “Sister Dawna’s Nightmare” at R Place; the list goes on and on. Plus, less scary options like Margaret Cho in Tacoma; Kate Clinton at Benaroya Hall; and legit theater offerings from Can Can Cabaret and the live “The Rocky Horror Show” at Re-bar. PLUS, options for the ladies and the underage crowd.

Have fun, play safe and don’t take apples from strangers!
