Back in the day.... (Oh god! not another story grandpa!!)
One of the best places to go on Halloween was a little town called Ilsa Vista. This isn't really a town, it is just a bunch of cheap apartment buildings next to UC Santa Barbara. Needless to say, the entire area becomes an outdoor street party. My favorite costume of all was my friends idea. He is now the lead engineer at a very pretigious defense contractor... back then he was the stoner genius from hell!
He actually contructed a 5 foot tall bong that he could wear. He was a walking bong for Halloween. He even went as far as supplying the smoke, and leting people take hits off him through the night... I wish I could remember more.
