Perhaps you live in East Wallingford, somewhat near the John Stanford School, and remember some outrageously large Halloween house parties years ago, disrupting the neighborhood? Well, that was us. From roughly 1995 through 2004, we hosted a Halloween party that was, if we do say so ourselves, fantastic. Over the years it grew from 20 or so of our friends to 40 to 80 to 100 and eventually topped out at around 400 people, which is far more than will fit…

I went in this a.m. to pick up a prescription and everything was fine — they were just busy, so they asked if I could come back in an hour, and they'd call when it was ready.

Dan writes: Did anyone else see this guy examining houses from the sidewalk this weekend [Monday on 1st NE between 40th and Pacific and Tuesday on 40th between 1st NE and Sunnyside]?

Wallingford offers the most bang-for-the-knock on Halloween night.

When was the last time you went out and saw live theater? Perhaps it will come as no surprise to hear that when we were in high school, we were in the drama club. We're pretty sure we were the president or something. In the course of our four acned years, we performed in a dozen or more plays, more than a few by Christopher Durang: Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You, The Actor's Nightmare, etc. They were always…
