We’re going to miss everyone like crazy
Well, we had our final Halloween party in Toronto. For Dara and me, the Halloween party has become somewhat of a tradition. We dress up like asses, invite more people than we have seats for and provide some finger food. Somewhere in there, we have some games, so all in all, the event is usually a pretty G-rated affair. We generally save the black-tar heroin and orgies for our Christmas/Chanukah parties, instead. Even so, people seemed to have a good time.
Most creative costume award goes to Tom and Ang for being Avian Flu. Sexiest costume goes to Ryan, going as Family Guy’s Quagmire. I wasn’t able to make it around to speak to everyone, so this is me apologizing for that. Even though I wasn’t able to speak with everyone, I was glad everyone came and I appreciate the fact that so many people made it out. This morning I noticed the following note on our fridge: Everyone's going to miss you like crazy. I don't know who wrote that, but it was very sweet. Thank you everyone for making it a good night, and a great farewell. Much love, Toronto!

Looks like it was a fun party. Thankfully, it was held in private. Otherwise, you may have offended some identity group, which is evidently a serious cause for concern in Toronto.
From an article in the National Post:
Teachers should forego traditional classroom Halloween celebrations because they are disrespectful of Wiccans and may cause some children to feel excluded, says a Toronto District School Board memo sent to principals and teachers this week.
"Many recently arrived students in our schools share absolutely none of the background cultural knowledge that is necessary to view 'trick or treating,' the commercialization of death, the Christian sexist demonization of pagan religious beliefs, as 'fun,' " says the memo.
Fortunately the tolerance police are in force in Toronto schools. We wouldn't want anyone to feel excluded (except those damn dirty Christian sexist demonizers, of course).
