I was 9 and lived on D Street. It was late. At least 7:45PM. Michael had disappeared about an hour earlier...chasing a girl named Mary. Alyce was at Kalstein's trying to barter some more candy in the event more kids showed up. Mother was bullshitting the kids at the door into thinking that prunes were candy. John was 12 and had always Hated Halloween so he was not to be found. Timmy was 5 and I think he took the "R" bus to Maureen's. Eddie was in his crib practicing his guitar riffs...Dad was...Cop-ing.
I decided to head for Boudinot Street for one last Haul. "Trick or Treat" I said and I got jumped! Had my candy stolen (not much cause I had already made 2 drop-offs at home) which makes me wonder why Alyce was negotiating with Kalstein? Was Mother giving away our candy while Alyce was at Kalstein's?
I knew the kid who lived in the house that jumped me (he & his buddies were older)...early AM a few days later I went back and let the air out of his 4 tires. Never got the satisfaction of seeing his reaction...by the way...I was dressed as a Bum with playing cards pinned to my clothes...the costume was NOT bought at Target.
Oh yea...and this year?

Bother John read this and now he's on his way to Boudinot St.! First he has to stop and get Dorothy Falato for backup.
