So, will my 8yo be excited or pissed if I end up getting WS tickets for Halloween night?

Trying to decide if I should go for Game 6 tickets.

Let her dress up for the game, and it is all win. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 08:08
Depends on if he's going or not? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 07:58 32
- She would be going with me. -- nm - spamlet Oct 15, 07:58 31
  - does she have plans for a party or trick or treating? some towns (like ours) do trick or treating on a different day. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 08:01 16
    - St. Louis is pretty much a Halloween only town. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 08:03
    - Trick or treating on a day other than Halloween is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. - MDH Oct 15, 08:02 14
      - Word! I hate that some places trick or treat on a different day. So very wrong. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 08:15
      - If you had children, you'd want to protect them from the evil spirits that lurk on All Hallows' Eve -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 08:06 1
        
        but that's the day vampires and demons take off from doing evil! - Beaker Oct 15, 08:06
      - yes. (many towns that do it don't use the 'school' argument but 'kids will behave better') -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:05 6
        
        What six year old behaves well on a stomach full of candy? -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 08:07
        
        that seems like wishful thinking to me. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:06 4
        
        it's common in conservative areas of central PA. my wife's town did this when she was growing up. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:06 3
        
        I don't think "conservative" has anything to do with it. I think it's predominantly a midwest thing. Here it's Tuesday the 30th this year. -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 08:14
        
        i just don't know why kids are going to behave better on Saturday than, say, Tuesday. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:11 1
        
        Exactly, if anything worse. Because then all of the teenagers can stay out late and cause trouble. -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 08:12
      - Over in Alton, Il...they have a huge Halloween parade on Oct 31 every year. In an effort to get more attendance downtown on parade night...they allow - Jim Oct 15, 08:04
      - I know. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 08:04
      - yes -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:03
      - ditto. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:03
  - It's a pretty big deal. Hell, I've had 6 World Series roll through this town in my lifetime...never gotten to a game. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 08:01 2
    - Yeah, I was picked in the lottery this time. - spamlet Oct 15, 08:02 1
      - That's awesome. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 08:05
  - She should love it. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 07:59 1
    - she's 8. i am not so sure i would have. (when she's 20 she'll be glad this happened though) -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:02
  - Does she like baseball? Tell her, you will hit up some stores the next day for some sale candy to rectify the situation -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 07:59 8
    - She loves baseball *and* Halloween. - spamlet Oct 15, 08:01 7
      - candy sales will heal any hurt! go to Game -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:03
      - can she dress up and go to the game in costume? -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:02 4
        
        Was just going to say, let her dress up, and have her hold a sign "I skipped Trick or Treating for a win." or something -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 08:03 3
        
        Very nice suggestion. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 08:16
        
        perfect! -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 08:04
        
        Admiral thinking right here -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:04
      - I think go to game. it's so huge. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 08:01
