Best Halloween costume ever. Round of applause for The Piece of Toast.
I’m going to be Peter Pan for Halloween. Going to get myself some American Apparel green leggings, an XL Boys Peter Pan costume (for the shirt and hat), some elf ears, a wooden sword and potentially a stuffed Tinkerbell to glue to my shoulder. I have a plan and a list, and I’m feeling good. No awkward costume drama this year. Now I just need somewhere to show off my awesomely juvenile comfortable costume. Lucky for me, Seattle is pulling out all the Halloween stops this year. I did a little research to help us all find the best place to party this Halloween. Check out the fruits of my labor below.
FreakNight Festival
Be (mostly) naked, wear a spirit hood, coat yourself in glitter, find yourself a Ring Pop and perfect your shuffle. FreakNight is back with DJs and tweakers galore. But for real, jokes aside, this will be a really fun event. Some of the best dance music ever! Tickets are on sale now. Event is Friday, October 28th at the WaMu Theater. Ages 18 and up are welcome so uh, watch our for those underage dance partners.
The Ultimate Halloween Bash
Self-proclaimed to be Seattle’s largest Halloween bash, the Showbox at the Market will host live bands, a DJ and a $1,000 prize costume contest. The photos from last year look pretty epic. I think we may have found a goodie. Tickets are on sale now. Event is Saturday, October 29th. Doors open at 8 p.m.
Halloween Pub Crawl
One massive costumed pub crawl. Yes, puh-lease! NO cover charges, happy hour prices, free food, dance floors — I think Peter Pan may have to make an appearance here. And the best part is that the lovely creators of this event made sure to schedule it around many of the huge Halloween bashes happening around the city including FreakNight and BonzaBash. Event is October 29th from noon to 8 p.m. (day drinking, yay!) and will stick to the Pike, Pine and First area. Actual bar locations will be announced closer to the event date.
A House
Your house, your friend’s house, the neighbor’s house. No matter how big or crazy a sponsored Halloween party is, a simple house party can always be equally as fun. All your friends in one place, looking ridiculous, acting ridiculous, bumbling around in awkward costumes. Don’t under estimate the house party. Always a good option. Now which one of my friends wants to host one? I promise to supply cobweb decorations and ample amounts of Peter Pan-ness. Any takers?
