Halloween

When i got home from the airport the first question i asked was: “What are the results of the election, people?”
MY DISTRICT TURNED GREEN! pfoah eh. I first thought it was a joke, cause the 8th district was rather.. well, lets say conservative. Boy, those news made my day for sure. I am pretty confident it has to do with the wonderful green gras i saw in ireland. it was a sign, a sign i tell you!

Anyways, so much for elections and suprises and such.

I got a question for you viennese people.
Last year my kids in lower austria suprised me with dragging me along the whole little town, dressed up like monsters, asking for candy. Halloween, exactly. Halloween in a little town. I prepared myself for screaming grandmas, furious mothers calling the police, and angsty grandfathers pointing their guns at me. Suprisingly enough we scored a rather huge bag full of candy, and .. cookies. homemade cookies by a nice old lady who said the kids are “cute monsters!”. So, the question is, what is going on in Vienna on Halloween? Trick or Treating? i cant really imagine doing that in Vienna. Any experiences?

    My roomate stole my idea for Birdflu, so I’ll be at Charley P’s as one of those blue mouthed zombies that you’d find at Karlsplatz.
