Athens Halloween Bar Crawl

Halloween is always a big event for me and the SC Crew. Making costumes year round just fuels the fire for a wild night out on the town. I took this year off from donning any Star Wars costumes and opted to dress as Ozzy Osbourne.

Other than NYC and possibly San Francisco, Athens, GA is the best place to run around and enjoy yourself at Halloween. With mild Southern weather, 26 bars in 4 blocks is not a bad thing. :-)

Our first stop was "The Globe", a local watering hole for the well educated drinker and a great place to prime the pump. Guiness Beer and Aberlour Scotch is always on hand here.

As we left The Globe in search of another good time, Death was walking the other way, recording the event.

We ended up hanging outside the "Bluesky" coffee house and the "Lunch Paper" bar. The Lunch paper had a makeshift open-air deck area where you could sip a drink mere inches from the crowded sidewalk. This was probably the most busy walking area in downtown Athens.

Evil was all over the Athens on this brisk evening. Teletubbies, the most evil thing on children's television, got their picture taken with the Prince of Darkness.
