Reply #19: I do magic and balloon twisting in Tulsa as a side business

[TlalocW]

Here we get the people who are against Halloween for religious beliefs. I have gotten a ton of calls since September from churches who will be having events involving costumes, candy and treats, bonfires, hayrides, and games like bobbing for apples, but they're not Halloween parties - they're Harvest parties... even though I keep referring to them as Halloween parties when on the phone with them.

I did get a call from the grandmother of a kid I did a birthday party for asking me if I could perform at her church in Independence, Kansas this Saturday for a Halloween event. I took the job as I could visit my family in Kansas (where I'm writing this from). I asked her, "Now, you said it was a Halloween event, and as you know I'm in Tulsa where that doesn't fly at a lot of churches so I want to make sure it definitely is a Halloween party and not a Harvest Party or whatever else it's called." Oh, man, she flew off on a tangent talking about how she hated how churches are trying to do away with the word Halloween, and it definitely was one, etc. Literally bitched about it for 2 minutes straight without taking too many breaths. My kind of customer. :)
