I was kind of busy this past week, so I am a little bit behind in getting this Halloween related post posted.
On Friday (Halloween was on Saturday), we went to see the Seattle Symphony play the music to Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “Psycho” while the movie played on a screen above the orchestra. It was great fun, and attracted a lot of people who from their looks and dress were obviously big time Hitchcock fans and/or Halloween aficiandos. One picture that I wish I could have taken was of the guy who showed up dressed as “mother” and came brandishing a 10 inch butcher knife. The ironic part was that as this guy was pretending (I assume he was pretending, but these days you never know for sure.) to be stabbing his wife, and while he was doing this someone snapped their picture. When the camera flash went off, an usher ran over and admonished them, not for bringing a dangerous weapon to the symphony mind you, but for violating the “no flash” rule. Ha, ha.
