ah, gotcha. I've never heard of Mischief Night, maybe its an East Coast thing.

We used to celebrate it when we lived in (Midland) Michigan ... when I moved to Wisconsin, it just wasn't here!

I'm not going trick or treating this year Iwill be handing out candy instead! For the past two years, my friend and I would sit on his porch dressed up, with a bowl of candy between us. We put a sign in front of the bowl that said, "Sorry we're not home! Please take a handful!" Then we would sit perfectly still looking like we were just decorations (we had leaves sticking out of the bottome of our pants and masks on - the whole bit). Kids would come up and think, "Hey - no one's home so how are they ever going to know if we take more than one handful". The kids would proceed to fill their bags and after about the three handfuls we would jump up and scream. The kids would usually drop their bags and run off. It was great
