Halloween Cheapage

From the "Better-late-than-never Dept", here's some cheap Halloween stuff in some kind of order. I didn't do my whole spiel on each, because I was havng a good time over the weekend...

Also: You could check BostonUSA's page with various Halloween things. Heck, you might want to find pumpkin patches in Eastern MA.

Halloween Bike Ride 2007
Meet at Green Street T Station, 150 Green St, Jamaica Plain
FREE

Imagine the type of fun-loving, free-spirit types that would ride all around town in costume. It sounds like they get into a bunch of shenanigans along the way, and I think it would be great to join them. You don't have to wear a costume or decorate your bike, but you should. The ride starts around 8:30 and goes about 20 miles at an easy pace. The route is a secret, but last year pedaled through Coolidge Corner, Harvard Sq, Central Sq, Kenmore Sq, Allston, and back to JP.

Helmets and lights are encouraged.

at TT the Bear's Place, 10 Brookline St, Cambridge(Central Sq)
$8 w/ costumes, $10 without

Maybe I should dress up as Scrooge on Halloween, because I've had a hard time getting into the spirit even when I was a kid. Of all the Halloween-themed rock shows (bands doing a set of songs by famous bands), I picked this one because it was the cheapest -- if you wear a costume. (Be creative and save a few bucks, or channel that time when you trick-or-treated without a costume when you were too old.) The bands are rather good, and they made some good material choices.


WED 10/31

8pm
Joe Carson as Jeff Buckley (11:45pm), Girls Guns and Glory as Ryan Adams (11pm), Cassavettes as Neil Young (10:20pm), 28 Degrees Taurus as The Velvet Underground (9:35pm), The Main Drag as Elliott Smith (9pm)
