You Might Want to Stay Away From the Corner

Halloween on the Lawn at UVA is always a popular way to spend the afternoon on Halloween trick or treating. The lawn will be packed with little kids in costumes along with some dancers, acapella groups and Tom Perriello will also be on the lawn. It is hard to find a parking spot starting all the way back at Mellow Mushroom and The Red Roof Inn, be prepared to walk if you are planning on making your way over to the lawn. The candy and events will be from 4-6 today.
UVA is playing Miami tomorrow, kickoff is at 12 at Scott Stadium. The trolley will not travel south of Emmet Street on Jefferson Park Avenue through UVa’s Central Grounds, including McCormick and Alderman roads. Instead, the westbound trolley will travel on Jefferson Park Avenue to Emmet Street, turn right onto University Avenue and return to its usual route at the Rotunda, eastbound. The detour will run from 2-4:30 on Saturday.
Are you dressing up tonight? Are your kids dressing up?

I don’t know about the Lawn but the corner was packed with UVA students walking (some drunkenly in the roads) last night all dressed up… is it just me or since when has halloween turned into something you dress up for 4 days in a row?

ha! I’m sure Callie could answer this better for you since she’s in the midst of it all. But, that’s actually smart of them to dress up more than once…make use of the $80 costume they wasted their money on. but hey they looked cute for one night and they can post that all over facebook.

I just got back from the spirit halloween store and there were 2 young girls that were trying on all the hats, wigs taking pictures, they didn’t even have to buy it to have fun dressing up. the wigs they did have are titled just to give you some options you can still be a “sexy indian, pink hottie, trend setter, blue seduction” the wig will transform you.

Actually, a lot of college kids do thursday, friday and saturday…the kicker is: they have DIFFERENT costumes for every party! Crazy, right?
