Friday the 13th: Mini Halloween

Have you noticed that Friday the 13th, once a day that people feared, is now celebrated like a mini Halloween? Rather than invoking fear, I get excited about celebrating the dark whenever Friday the 13th rolls around. I know I'm not alone judging from all the gleeful social media posts surrounding the day. How awesome is it that lovers of Halloween get to celebrate the holiday several times a year?!

I think we need to make our mini Halloweens official, so I've put together a list of activities and a 13 song playlist to mark Mini Halloween. The playlist has luck themed songs that mostly deal with bad luck or sarcastic good luck except for "Thirteen" by Big Star which I just like -so there. (I did have a hard time choosing between Big Star's and Elliott Smith's version, but went with the original.)



The best part about this Mini Halloween is that there is a full moon tonight! So, in honor of this doubly spooky occasion I want to show you a selection of black cat and full moon t-shirts you can purchase as a souvenir.

There you have it. Make sure you eat some fortune cookies today, pet a black cat, walk under a ladder, and dance in the moonlight. May darkness be with you.
