Halloween is a big thing here, I don't really understand why. Yearly they have this parade along Commercial drive where people dress up as ghouls or whatever oddities and try to frighten each other.. I joined the party with friends who were eager to conquer the streets in their scary outfits - this reminded me of crazy days back in university.
The energy in this event is punctuated by drum beats and wild revelries - enough to scare the monsters away, or draw them closer. By 10pm I was dizzy and disoriented from the fumes so we slowly headed back home.
Once in a while all it takes is a dark cold night and a bunch of faceless nameless people wearing masks to pull one back to earth.
Or maybe lower.
