I had been thinking of going to the open circle that the Covenant of Brighidshaven was doing for Samhain. I got word from Paula that Kym, who is going through some very rough times indeed, is going to be joining us on Saturday. I then got the idea that since some of Kym’s friends would be at the circle, I should go and get cards signed to bring on Saturday. So, Cindy very graciously got 3 cards, and I went around and let folks sign if they wanted. It reminded me of how I was going up to folks to get them to register to vote or to come to the candidate forum. This season seems to be about approaching folks to get them involved.
We had small wine glasses for holding beverages during the ritual. Someone dropped theirs, and I heard it shatter. "Mazel tov!" I shouted. "Oops, wrong group/event. Sorry."
I was talking later with James and his friend, Tim. I mentioned about Rocky Horror performances this weekend, and Tim mentioned that he had gone to see the movie when it was at the Strand (now the Erie Playhouse) back in 1982 at about this time of year. Hmm. I asked him if he recalled going about Halloween, and seeing folks in the front of the theatre acting it out. He said that he had and then I informed him that he probably had seen me in my underwear. 
Way back then, some folks I was hanging out with decided to play with audience participation stuff on Halloween night. I was ultra-nerdy Brad. (I know – contain your shock.) So, I was running around in my skivvies when the character was.
