New Years is the next holiday coming up that I enjoy. I haven’t spent a New Years in Connecticut since 1999 and I don’t want to be here for that. I don’t know when I last was around for Halloween, probably ten years ago.

I dressed up on Wednesday night as a South African rugby team player from 1999. Fortunately I didn’t feel too cold outside, despite the excessively short shorts.

The first stop of the night was a house party in town. The thought was to pregame there before heading into New Haven for some bar hopping. The folks were dressed up there, but it wasn’t really good times. The crowd was way young, they were all around twenty one years old. Anyway, we didn’t stay long.

So now we were in New Haven earlier than planned. I realised when I saw the first hot she-devil of the night that this is probably the last time I’ll see sluttily dressed girls out and about until I get back to Los Angeles or until Spring comes. Halloween is a great holiday.

I saw a bunch of the same costumes everywhere I went. Little Bo Peep, stripper girls, she-devils, and way more hot referees than I’ve ever seen before. Now I know what happens to these girls after they work one night as a “Miller Girl”. I wonder who makes these referee outfits, they had different liquor brands on them (some had no brands) but they all were well formed and tight. Fewer guys were dressed up, and I only saw a couple of common outfits. Besides the ever common dress wearing dudes, dressing up as folks from Life Aquatic and Royal Tenenbaums seemed to be the thing this year. And also the ever lame generic “Fed” getup. Secret service mostly, but a few FBI lookin’ schmucks too.

I love the psychology behind costume wearing. Really though I love how girls get to act as slutty as they want on Halloween without any flack from it. That’s what Las Vegas is like year ’round, and the Sunset Strip in Hollywood too. Any good tourist getaway has that sorta freedom, and that’s where I want to live.

All in all though, CT people are quite prudish. The grindin’ action on club dance floors here is very different to what I’m used to from college, LA, and Vegas. New Haven is a college town, but the Yale crowd isn’t all that fun really. A lot of the same type of folks around, it’s weird.

Anyway, I’m heading into Manhattan this afternoon which should be fun.
