Year 3, Day 236: Halloween Town Bites it

Very interesting day. I met my brother and his daughter at King's, a bowling alley in Boston where the Cheri movie theatre used to be. That is of interest because 1) It was a premiere movie house in Boston for nearly 50 years, and 2) It's where Emily's Dodge Diplomat was stolen when we were watching "Jurassic Park." It is a great bowling alley, but it is very, very over-stimulating. Do you really need music videos on large diamond-screen videos above every lane? Isn't it possible to bowl without ear-splitting, ice-skating loud level music? We ate there, and the food was good, if not too tempting for me (ate a few nachos and such). After that, we attended possibly the worst children's event on a a large scale I've ever been to. It was called "Halloween Town" and it had been advertised all over the place, especially in kid's magazines. When we got there, there were lots of agitated parents, unthought through line management, bad events, and lots of people who were truly, truly, not in the Halloween spirit. Having spent over $40, were going to make the best of it.
