Around 8:30, after having been closed up for a while, I headed out for a burrito and encountered a group of seven hardy 13-to-14-year-old trick-or-treaters; they went so far as to ring our doorbell after hitting the next door neighbors who were one of two houses still open on the block. They're not included in the statistics. Sorry, kids, but it's not just that we were out. Halloween was over.

Wow!

And I thought my neighborhood was full of kids. We got 61, after at least one year of being away for Halloween.

You think that's impressive...

There are six houses between mine and palmwiz's. We got significantly fewer than fifty trick or treaters. That was with my housemates sitting in the driveway in costume. (Although in their defense they were only out there for an hour.)

Last year we got no trick or treaters at all.

This neighborhood is weird.

And one of those is the one that does their house up elaborately enough to attract television crews. Which hour was it that your housemates were out there? I wouldn't expect kids to come to the other side of the house, since that's such a busy street.

They were out 6:30-7:30pm or so.

That's why they were in the driveway. (Although I'm sure I trick or treated on busy streets when I was a kid)

We probably got about 60 kids during the 6:30 to 7:30 hour.
