Hey there, Everyone

I know I’m a bit late on this, but I wanted to highlight the greatness that is Halloween in Athens, Ohio.

Every year, on Halloween weekend, Ohio University and the city of Athens close off Court Street (uptown Athens’ main street where most of the bookstores and bars are located) and open it up to the masses of people.  Attendees dress up in elaborate costumes and walk up and down the street, checking each other out.

There’s also a stage always located at both ends of the street, featuring local and up-and-coming bands with exotic and varying styles of music.  Food venders enjoy an increased flux in business for the night, and several buggies can be found serving fair-type and fast food goodies to the drunken crowd.

With this being my fifth year at OU, it was my sixth time attending the annual block party….and I have to say it didn’t disappoint.  Check out these photos from my shenanigans that night (I dressed as a mobster with a few of my friends).
