This will be our daughter's first Halloween, so we're pretty excited. Granted, she'll be too young for trick or treating, but it'll still be fun.
Cool man! This is our son's first Halloween. He'll only be 7 months old then, so it will be awhile before he get's a small uniform and pack, lol, but we're really looking forward to it. :) We figure we can do the whole dress up, traditional thing and still rock a nice party afterward to boot. We alway through a Halloween party and it's always a blast. Having it be on a Saturday and having it actually be Halloween night will make it even better!

And yeah, you're not to far at all! That's awesome! Nice to have more ghostheads around my area for a change. Seems like everyone is up around Chi-town. lol

Sweet! Our daughter will be 9 months at Halloween. Sounds like you're doing it up right.

Yeah...it's nice to know other Ghostheads are nearby! Hey, you had an Ecto-1 project going, didn't you? Have you made much progress on the restoration?

Thanks! We try too, anyway! :grin:

Yup, that's me. I work on her mainly on the weekends (when I'm not working them too!). Taking this beast apart is a long, tedicous task. lol It's slow progess, but progress none-the-less! Always looking for an extra hand if your ever down this way! :wink::lol: j/k

Mostly it's me working on her, with my buddy John helping me out when he can. It's nice to work on her, have the GB soundtrack on in the background and occasionally drinking a nice cold beer! :grin:

Have you had a change to think what you might dress her up as this Halloween? I'm thinking for my son either a ghost or maybe a pumpkin, that is unless I see something between now and then that changes my mind. haha

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. I think it's going to be an absolute blast taking him around trick-or-treating as he grows up. I'm really looking forward to that, ya know?

I am not mechanically inclined at all, but I'd be happy to help somehow. I'd sure like to see her someday, though.

Not sure what our daughter's costume will be. We have a dog, too...so my wife was thinking of getting some "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" Dr. Suess t-shirts and going that route. I'll leave it up to her.

Agreed about the holiday. I like Halloween better than Christmas! I'm also looking forward to taking her trick or treating. But I also love staying home and passing out candy to the kids and seeing what kind of costumes they put together. I also kinda like scaring them. Every year, I dress up the house and have spooky music pumping outside (with the occasional GB theme thrown in as well, of course! :) ).

I'm not ready for summer to be over yet, but I sure am looking forward to it!

Well, you don't have to be too mechanically inclined to take something apart. It's putting it back together that takes the skill. ;)

Either way, just give me a little advance notice (to make sure I'm not working) if you ever want to stop by and take a look at her. :)

I think a "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" would be awesome and hilarious! :D And I agree, summer is going by WAY to fast, but it will be nice when Halloween rolls around again

That's cool. I'll let you know when I'm going to be in town. Thanks!

I'd like to do a meet up some time when it gets a little warmer. I think that's a great idea.

I think thats a neat idea too. maybe we can organize a get-together for the spring? If anyone likes going to shows, i'm in a lo-fi metal/punk band too, if you wanted to 'make a night of it' :)
