Origami Jack-o-Lantern

I folded this last year, so I don’t remember if this is the one I designed, or if it is one that I folded from instructions I found somewhere…  There are a good number of origami Jack-o-Lantern models with instructions available on-line, although most of them are not great IMHO.  I am still trying to find the directions I used to have for a relatively simple version made from two pieces of paper, which I used to fold a lot a couple of decades ago. The problem is, I have more than a hundred origami books and magazines, and it could be in any of them… or in some other publication I no longer own…

GMG Pumpkin Carving!

The fam and I put together the first GMG What’s Up Homie Jack-o-Lantern of the season. We encourage the readers to do the same and we will post them here. Send them to Joey and he’ll post them here.

I will answer a few questions up front:

  • It is not a crow
  • It is not a martini glass as Joey C thought
  • It is supposed to be standing on a post and not wearing high tops
  • Yes that’s a sail boat on the right

Check this Halloween lawn display. This is the best I have ever seen. It is on Bridge street in Hamilton.

Hey Joey, wanted to tell you that in addition to our costume party/
piano bar night on October 30th, we are having a Halloween themed  
dinner hour for families who come in to eat on Halloween before or  
after trick or treating on Sunday, Halloween night,  October 31st.  
Who wants to cook on Halloween? We’ll have goodie bags for kids and a  
special something for the adults and DownTown Clownz will be there  
from 4:30-6:30 making up balloons. Bring your little ones down if you  
get a chance. Attached are the two fliers if you have a chance to post

A Haunted Halloween Evening, Oct. 30, 2010

A Haunting Evening at the Inn Magnolia

Halloween – the time of the year when the veil is the thinnest between the realms of the living and the dead…and what could be more terrifying than spending the evening in a haunted country inn with New England’s own VanHelsing?

On Saturday, October 30th, join us, if you dare, for a night of food, fun, and mystery. Feast with the living, as we enjoy an elegant harvest dinner sumptuous enough to raise the dead. Then listen as author, radio personality, and paranormal investigator, Ron Kolek of the New England Ghost Project, takes you on a journey into the dark and macabre world of the ghost hunter.

Next take part in an investigation of the Inn. And the night ends as we attempt to communicate with the wandering spirits of the Inn Magnolia.

Dinner Menu

Cranberry Apple Salad

Rolls & Butter

Roast Turkey & Gravy

Homemade Stuffing

Mashed Potatoes

Butternut Squash

Buttered Peas

Cranberry Sauce

Coffee & Teas

Apple Crisp w/Whipped Cream

Dinner dress is macabre elegant. Refreshments will be served.

Overnight accommodations are also available from the Inn.
Call (978) 525-3642 for room reservations.

Don’t miss out on this truly unique evening. Seating is limited and tickets are only $79.95 per person and must be purchased in advance.

For more information call (978) 455-6678.

As tempting as it is, we can’t make it to Indio, California to see Phish Festival 8 and neither can you, so hey let’s all have our own celebration at The Rhumbline!
We’ll play two sets starting at 9:30. We’ve been practicing some new tunes, and hope you will enjoy. Be there!
