Cheesespread on the town
Chico Halloween was a success, I guess—if you call massive police presence and rampant fear an improvement. I went downtown for about an hour to check things out but mostly kept running into people excited about having been interviewed on television. Overall, things were pretty mellow, which meant you could actually get drinks without waiting an hour at a packed, smelly bar.

I didn’t see many photos this year. So I thought I would do my own On the Town section modeled after those cool picture sections that show how fun college can be when you’re surrounded by like-minded clichés and stereotypes who crave documentation of their party prowess. But instead of photos, I’m just running captions. You should be able to imagine the rest.
