Madness in Madison

Maybe this isn't my place... seeing as how I'm a Missouri Tiger... but is Madison going about Halloween the wrong way this year?

You see, the university is celebrating Homecoming the same weekend as Halloween weekend. A friend of mine, an alum, says this is the university's way of "distracting" the crowd. Maybe, giving them something else to do. But, I don't know. If they're trying to clog the streets even more than usual: Mission accomplished. Stopping the mayhem? Well, who knows.

I just don't know if this is the greatest idea. Then again, I haven't been to a Madison Halloween in years.

I haven't been to Madison in a long time. Madison seems cool to me, probably in some areas (where all the fun is at), so I wouldn't know either.

Is this the first time this is ever being done or has this been done recently numerous Halloween years?

I've been and it's gotten worse and worse every year. It's not the stuff of legends anymore. It used to be packed with people from all over the UW system. Yeah that's over because it's not free and the University are imposing rules that dampen the good time everyone is trying to have.

Halloween in Madison sucks my ballz now. Thank god it's HC too. Maybe it'll lighten up.

Oh, good gawsd! What is Madison thinking? Oh, yeah. I forgot. Madison - seven lakes and more flakes.

I used to do the Halloween State Street thing for years - until it got dangerous. Homecoming and Halloween on the same weekend? This is a perfect combination for a serious disaster. I will remember to stay away a long, long way from Madison on that weekend!

I agree, both should be kept seperate.
