Everyone has has the experience of having someone call them the wrong name. When this happens there are two directions that you can go with that: 1) You can assume that they forgot your name or 2) You can assume that they have mistaken you for someone else. If I recognize the person I usually assume that they forgot my name, but that's not necessarily true. I wonder how many times I have picked the wrong of those two possibilities...
I was thinking of the Halloween a couple of years ago where it was halloween 24/7 for an entire month. A entire month of halloween parties. It seems like college town areas are most conducive to that sort of thing. I have not spent much time in the Research Triangle area (and do not plan to) but it seems like Halloween could be a fun time there with so many colleges in the area...
Recently I was thinking of those National Lampoon's "Jake The Pimp" games that were online for a while. I am not sure how popular those games were. It seemed like the sort of thing that would get shut down if it ever gained more than a cult following. I remember that there was a particular episode/cartoon game that was about bar hopping in Hollywood. It was about the Cahuenga/Selma area specifically. I thought it was cool because it depicted the exact bars that were on that block at the time. At the time I would think "I am going to play this online game about that area then I am going to drive over and hang out there in real life!!!!!" Of course I made it a point to stay far away from any place that had a rainbow over the door. I was in more or less walking distance from the area so it was pretty convenient. In hindsight that was a Commercial mindset but it was(and at some level still is) "Me"...
