Hello to all you Halloween enthusiasts! And when I speak Halloween, I don't mean the "trunk or treat" nonsense where I have to take a kid fishing for candy out of the back of your car in a church parking lot. Give your kids a GPS phone with an emergency button that notifies the cops and a blaring siren on the side and let them go out with their friends. I can't believe I'm sitting here as an adult with no children, reflecting on my own childhood, hammering out text that sounds like it should be started with the phrase "back in my day." It's 2016; you literally have the ability to track them with a cell phone if you're that paranoid. Give them a shot at having fun in the middle of the night.

I got two weeks worth of events for you below, right after I show you this masked violin player who was just hanging out in downtown Provo last weekend.
