I had to share this awesome pumpkin from the PoPville flickr pool. I’ll take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and fun Halloween weekend. If you see good costumes and/or attend the Stewart/Colbert Rally on the Mall send some photos to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com or upload them to the PoPville flickr pool please. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to make Rumpkin…

“Dear PoP,
Are you aware of any Halloween costume parties on Friday night?”
Do you guys have any recommendations specifically for Friday night? I’ve got a good one coming up in today’s 5pm post for Sat. but I haven’t heard too much about Friday night parties. What’s the good word?

Or will everyone be prepping Friday night for the Stewart/Colbert Rallies on the Mall? You can see a schedule of the festivities here.
