suggestions for keeping the halloween spirit alive

Living in "No on prop. 8" country I can say with a relative level on confidence that halloween is the Hanukkah for gays.  Over a week of celebration with only that exclusive culture participating to such an extent. Now if you are both Jewish and gay, this is where the 4th quarter really pays off, almost two full months of Holidays!   Granted Thanksgiving doesn't provide the same opportunity for celebration, so this year I suggest continuing the halloween spirit (no pun intended) right up into the forth Thursday in Nov. Only instead of thanking the pilgrims; you can dress as one. In this neighborhood I suggest dressing as pilgrims, indians,  a construction worker, a policeman and naval officer.
