4TheRcrd Mag.

This is for those who are simply sick of costumes or the over the top dress-up Halloween. Here’s a comprehensive list of alternatives. Cuz our readers are like that, and so are we. So, this is for all who refuse and want to be a little different. I know you’ve been inundated with party ideas. I also know I’ve contributed to this onslaught of schedules, places-to-be, costumes, and concepts. So, to pose an exception to all this “showing off.” here’s a list of things you can simply check out, sit down to, and watch. Why dress up, you ask. Exactly, why! Just sit back, like the good and well-behaved Vancouverite that you are:
