Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!
If you are driving tonight be especially careful when in the cities as some pranksters like to throw things off of the overpasses.
Be aware and drive safe tonight!
I wish we could attend! Like Bruno said those events are really a lot of fun for everyone. We are out on the west coast and that is just little far to dead head.
