22 Features C tumed Confu 1011 story by ANGI-LA SPECHT WN QUIGG Executing an exciting evening on the Strip was easy for this hangman. N X aybe it was the moon, encom- passed by a bright ring in the dark sky, or maybe it was the atmos- phere created by the thousands of par- tiers wandering up and down the Strip. Maybe it was the fact that it was Hallow- een, the time of year when people can dress up and act like anything, or anyone, they want. Halloween-Carbon- dale-Style is an adventure-one exciting experience after another. Garbage was strewn everywhere, mak- ing walking a chore.

Instead, the two were drenched by flying beer. A bit tired of hassling with the crowd, the two turn back up the Strip and find a place to sit on the wall in front of the Tap. While sitting there, the two got a first- hand view of a fight and an unfortunate underage drinker's arrest. The freshman manages to glimpse a few familiar faces popping out of the crowd, but it's only a second before the faces disappear again. Someone kindly offers them a beer. With the pop of the pulltab, the two return to their perch to finish watching the eve- ning's activities. Around 1:30, the now-veteran fresh- man and his friend decide to see what is happening on Grand Avenue. When they arrive, they see much of the same thing they had seen before but with a few added features. A couple of beer booths and t-shirt stands stood to the right with portable toilets to the rear. A large screen television which had earlier played the World Series game between the Cardinals and the Royals sat on top of the Busch stand. People standing in line for bagels while further down a crowd enjoys the sounds of a rock band. By some miraculous chance, the two meet up with what remains of the group they had lost earlier. They all sat on the sidewalk along with the other people who are growing tired, including a few who had already passed out. As the dazed partiers began to des- perately search for the way home, a few of the hardiest stay to watch as the street crew begin their tedious task that would surely last all night. Wishing the night would go on for- ever, the hoards of people begrudgingly trekked the last mile to their resting place-contemplating tomorrow's hang- over and more importantly, the next night's party. In the damp cool air of the Carbondale Fair Days, a young james Dean gets the cold cheek of his partner. While a skeleton dressed for combat holds up his libation for the camera before stumbling toward the Strip. The trio walked onto the Strip with their heads held high, and beers slung low.
