Halloween this year was amazingly nice for the trick or treaters.  They got a late start around my place, didn't see the first one until 7:30 or so usually they start around 6...  Not as many as I used to have in years past, but still almost 65.

Since I'm a mobile DJ I have several  heavy duty super bright black lights so I put 2 of my UV(black light) bars in the living room bay window.  It illuminated anyone who walked by, the sidewalk, the street, any cars in the street, the other sidewalk ont he other side of the street, anyone walking on the sidwalk over there and the house across the street.  I had thought about puting up a large 6 or  8 foot spider in the back of the house and have one of my smaller strobes flashing on it to make it look like it was moving, but I couldn't find anything to use for the spider  :(

They had a costume contest at work, I wore my renfair outfit.  This year's prize is skimpy compared to years past.  It's only 50$(24 and 10... 1st 2nd 3rd) giftcard this year, in years past it has been 100$(50 and 25 1st, 2nd 3rd), oh well.  I'll either get 1st or 2nd place either way pays for my breaks for at least a week. 

Can't believe its only 2 more weeks until the anime convention I help with.  Anime Nebraskon November 14-16 Lincoln, Nebraska.

I am finding it quite amusing.  Geico and numerous other insurance companies promise average savings of $300.  per person who changes...  I am afraid to guess what they are actually paying for insurance...  I have checked with them randomly and they are usually from 100-$300 MORE than what I am paying, for slightly  less coverage...  WTF... I'm with Safeco and very happy with my coverage and claim response time, Alstate advertises that a lot of insurance companies skimp on coverage to offer better prices... well they are right, they do skimp on coverage... but they don't offer discounts...

A few weeks ago I spend some time in my basement cleaning up.  Its not so much that it was a mess as I suffer from pack rat syndrome... TMFS...  Needless to say I have thrown a lot of stuff out, given stuff to good will, and I have a whole pile of stuff for a garage sale now... only problem is its a little late for a garage sale... unless they predict good weather some weekend in which I might get my parents and one of my sisters to help as I'm sure we could fill the garage with stuff.

I've finally broken down and decided that I need to get rid of at least 1 of my arcade machines (I have 2).  They don't get played very often at all and I could use the money on something else... like help paying off the last of my dj equipment.
