Yes, there are huge festivities and parades in San Francisco involving firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.sj-roc wrote:I'm curious then -- does this fascination w/fireworks also exist in San Francisco, whose Chinatown is even larger than Vancouver's?Shi Zi Mi wrote:This makes sense."What's the fascination with fireworks here?" I have no idea - did they originate in Asia (stronger Asian influence here)?
I've experienced 3 Chinese New Years while living in China and it is almost undescribable the noise level from firecrackers/fireworks for about 30 minutes each side of midnight on Chinese New Year.
The Chinese believe firecrackers/fireworks scare away evil spirits and they use them extensively for weddings, openings of new businesses,etc.......
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I'm saving the face paint thing for Nov 12. As for dressing up on Halloween night, I'll be at the Preds game and I'll be able to give a first hand report........................Robbie wrote:The Lions do not have a home game scheduled on Halloween this year, but they did in previous seasons. And this year, the Canucks have a home game against Nashville scheduled on Halloween night. For those of you who have attended a Lions or Canucks game on Halloween: Do many fans attending dress in Halloween costumes?

I have been busy putting together my Halloween Costume for the Bomber's game. **I won't be in a football related costume and won't be in black & orange, so no grief about missing team colours puhlease**
It should make for an extra fun tailgater to have a few differently attired Lionbackers around, meaning other than the usual Lions' wear.
Going by the thread thus far, it looks like we have the following in on Halloween Costumes for the 28th Tailgater & Game:
Charlene
Vanessa
Tommy
O'Shea
Any other "creative" Lionbackers up for a change wardrobe for this TG/Game??

The people that aren't dressing up in a costume for the game on Saturday are....
LOSERS!
Yes, that's right. And dressing up in Lion's stuff does NOT count! You have to dress as something you wouldn't normally dress up as!
Them's the rules, i made them. Follow them! 8)
heehee
I'm bringing candy and chocolate for people who wear costumes!

And in other news ...
A guy at a Lions game was arrested for impersonating a police officer... Or was that the police were impersonating him?

Good job on the face paint test run
Just to let you guys know, i saw an ad in the paper for tomorrow's game and it said that no props will be allowed in.
No pitchfork for me!
Well, i guess i can bring it to the tailgater and leave it in the car for the game!
