It's a huge deal here, basically a bigger holiday than Halloween itself, and it is legendary as a night of vandalism and arson. (I know "Mischief Night" exists in the NE United States, but it is nothing like Devil's Night in Detroit.) <br /><br />Since neither writer of this episode (or the show in general) is from Michigan, I guarantee that detail had to be suggested by Iggy Pop himself. Nobody else would know what "Devil's Night" was back in the early '90s.

I know it must seem like I don't care since I haven't updated in so long, but I've really just been miserable. And every time I try to get myself to update, the thought of watching one of my episodes just makes me feel sad and lonely. It doesn't really make sense, I'm sorry.colleennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106605601952269261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084457445619613815.post-76567114611427524422009-04-23T12:53:00.000-04:002009-04-23T12:53:00.000-04:00Not that you'd care, this being around six months ...Not that you'd care, this being around six months after your post, but it's called Devil's Night in Michigan. <br /><br />~Nan<br /><br />P.S.

I went freshman year and I think after that I'd cheat and just go upstairs to my grandmother's apartment (my family shared a two-family house with her) and "trick-or-treat" there so I'd get to say that I went to at least one house.<BR/><BR/>The playwriting take on NaNoWriMo is a lot smaller and is only in its third year. Plus, I think a play is a lot less hard to churn out in a month than an entire novel. :) I hope yours is going well! I'm currently at the top of page 29 (out of 75) after week 1. And I don't have class this week so I hope to get a new blog post up today. yay! Good luck with the novel!<BR/><BR/>[Edit: The first posting of this comment was deleted so that I could fix the misspelling of Kristen's name... oops.]colleennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106605601952269261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084457445619613815.post-56898380719344623042008-11-10T10:13:00.000-05:002008-11-10T10:13:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.colleennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106605601952269261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084457445619613815.post-9938543248388038722008-11-08T12:50:00.000-05:002008-11-08T12:50:00.000-05:00I always heard it called mischief night.

They usually spray-paint road signs and stuff, none of that meanie personal stuff.

Will edit the blog so that future readers are less confused. :) Nona's father was played by Iggy Pop, who was in the Stooges, hence the "stooge" comment at the end.<BR/><BR/>Recap That! - You're doing NaNoWriMo? Good luck! At the last minute I decided to do NaPlWriMo, the playwriting equivalent where the goal is a 75-page play by the end of the month. I've been so busy lately though that I'm not sure if I'll make it.<BR/><BR/>Nikki - I heard "mischief night" first, but that's only because the episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark is a couple years older. I think I was just overly sheltered as a kid. :)colleennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106605601952269261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084457445619613815.post-27466050081239243282008-11-03T03:34:00.000-05:002008-11-03T03:34:00.000-05:00Awesome!
