Hallo-What?!
This is a Hallmark Holiday for THE PEOPLE! Picture this: The last Saturday in April each year, you and your friends get dressed up in costumes, run out into the streets of Milwaukee (figuratively) and NOT feel out of place whatsoever!
Hallowang is a holiday. There are no rules, but there are some loose traditions. You are free to recognize Hallowang any way you wish, but if you asked me, I'd say you MUST get your costume ready and head out to the East Side of Milwaukee on Saturday, April 26, 2008. Also, you should update your Living Will and put on clean underdrawers because the pure unbridled FUN of Hallowang may CRUSH you.
Hallowang Traditions (so far)
Bar Hopping If you wear a costume, you will rock out for cheap at a variety of establishments. Go ahead, try 'em all! See DISCOUNTIN' page for details.
The Hallowang Costume Contest. Hallowang has 6 costume categories, listed in the left margin of this page. At the end of the evening, the judge(s) select six co-champions. (No grand champions overall - quit being so competitive - you've been told how unattractive that is). See COSTUME CONTEST page for details
Friendly Competition See TOM FOOLERY page for details.
Todd the Hallowang Woodland Jumping Mouse He's a combination mascot-logo. Cool guy. Likes poetry and yet occasionally flattens aluminum cans on his forehead. Heart of gold. Not real smart, but heart of gold.
Hallowang Core Values Honor. Precision. Dumb. Exhibit these core values and you may be dubbed the Ultimate Hallowang Warrior. See TOM FOOLERY page for details.
Any questions? Quit worrying about it! Just get dressed up, get out to one of the participating bars on the last Saturday in April, and trust your good-times instincts. Scared? OK, fine, call the warm line (it's not hot). 414-243-3747. Or email hallowang.info@gmail.com
