Time Well Wasted

All in all, it was a pretty good Hallowe'en weekend on Denman Island. The monsoon took a short break to allow the trick-treaters to do some productive foraging. Looking rather professional, the fire dept pulled off the fireworks this year with no casualties or even near misses. The dance this year featured Time Well Wasted, a local Comox Valley Band. The 12 piece band with full horn and rhythm sections played Chicago, Tower of Power, Some Gloria Gainer Disco and some Stevie Wonder. Although not my favourite era for music, the all ages venue had the usual house party atmosphere. It makes me wish I'd grown up here. Ashley and her pals had a great time and at one point were up on stage showing off their disco moves. Lessons learned: (1)- It gets very hot in the hall and bulky costumes are a disadvantage. (2)- five foot span angel wings, scythes, daggers, spears and pitchforks should all be banned from the dance floor.
