Were
      you
      there?
      Because
      if
     
     
      you
      were,
      there's
      nothing
      that
      can
      be
     
     
      said
      about
      Halloween
      night
      at
      The
     
     
      Wave
      that
      you
      don't
      already
      know.
      It
     
     
      was
      energetic.
      It
      was
      packed.
      It
      was
     
     
      wild.
     
    

    
     
      And
      if
      you
      weren't
      there,
      let's
     
     
      just
      say
      about
      twelve-hundred
      other
     
     
      people
      sure
      made
      their
      best
      attempt
      at
     
     
      enjoying
      themselves
      despite
      your
     
     
      absence.
     
    

    
     
      I've
      never
      seen
      a
      crowd
      like
      it.
     
     
      Okay,
      I've
      seen
      crowds
      like
      it
      before,
     
     
      but
      never
      at
      a
      UPEI
      event.
      It
      was
     
     
      unbelievable.
     
    

    
     
      There
      were
      many
      bright
      spots
     
     
      to
      the
      night.
      The
      costumes
      were
     
     
      impressive.
      Very
      impressive.
      The
     
     
      amount
      of
      work
      that
      university
      stu-
     
     
      dents
      are
      willing
      to
      put
      into
      Halloween
     
     
      costuming
      is
      incredible.
      I'm
      thinking
     
     
      that
      Value
      Village
      probably
      made
      a
     
     
      small
      fortune
      over
      the
      last
      month.
     
     
      Most
      costumes
      showed
      real
      creativity,
     
     
      and
      complete
      strangers
      were
      compli-
     
     
      menting
      other's
      attempts
      at
      Halloween
     
     
      hilarity.
      It
      was
      a
      good
      atmosphere
      for
     
     
      the
      most
      part.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Jimmy
      Swift
      Band
      have
     
     
      never
      put
      on
      a
      bad
      show.
      They're
      high
     
     
      energy,
      they're
      tight,
      they're
      exciting,
     
     
      and
      they're
      pretty
      wicked
      to
      dance
      to;
     
     
      however,
      comments
      from
      the
      band
     
     
      after
      this
      particular

      suggested
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Halloween
      +
      The
      Wave
      =
     
     
      By
      Matt
      STEWART
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
    
   
   
    
     
      that
      they
      felt
      like
      the
      Halloween
      crowd
     
     
      gathered
      at
      The
      Wave
      wasn't
      a
      typical
     
     
      Jimmy
      Swift
      audience.
     
    

    
     
      Despite
      the
      fact
      that
      most
      peo-
     
     
      ple
      enjoyed
      the
      pub,
      it
      is
      impossible
      to
     
     
      say
      that
      the
      night
      didn't
      have
      a
      few
     
     
      major
      drawbacks.
     
    

    
     
      It
      was
      packed.
      I
      think
      I've
     
     
      already
      mentioned
      that.
      But,
      seriously,
     
     
      there's
      not
      much
      else
      you
      can
      say.
      At
     
     
      one
      point
      or
      another
      during
      the
      night,
     
     
      everyone
      said,
      "there
      are
      too
      many

      The
      lines

      were
      too

      long.
      There
     
     
      were
      too
      many
      people
      in
      the
      ‘dance
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Fly
      Jimmy
      Swift
      plays
      to
      over
      a
      thousand
      people
     
    
   
   
    
     
      [4]
     
    
   
   
    
     
      a
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Casualty
      of
      rocking
      night
      at
      The
      Wave
     
    
   
   
    
     
      floor
      area'.
      It
      was
      impossible
      to
      dance.
     
     
      You
      could
      sort
      of
      sway
      with
      the
      crowd,
     
     
      but
      that's
      not
      really
      what
      the
      Jimmy
     
     
      Swift
      experience
      is
      supposed
      to
      be
     
     
      about
      —
      possibly
      the
      reason
      for
      the
     
     
      less
      than
      enthusiastic
      comments
      from
     
     
      Jimmy
      Swift
      band
      members.
      Also,
     
     
      possibly
      the
      reason
      for
      the
      fights.
     
    

    
     
      Yah.
      Fights.
      An
      anonymous
     
     
      employee
      of
      The
      Wave
      asked
      me
      to
     
     
      include
      this
      message
      to
      the
      combat-
     
     
      ants:
      "Oh,
      and
      to
      the
      people
      who
     
     
      fought:
      Way
      to
      go!
      That
      was
      SO
      cool.
     
     
      Really
      added
      to
      the
      atmosphere,
     
     
      y'know."
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ee
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Picture
      of
      Eddy
      taken
      after
      half-hour
      wait
      to
      get
      to
      bar
     
    
   
   
    
     
      This
      certainly
      wasn't
      your
      typi-
     
     
      cal
      UPEI
      Halloween
      night.
      Maybe
     
     
      that's
      what
      The
      Wave
      was
      going
      for
      —
     
     
      An
      event
      which
      bared
      little
      resem-
     
     
      blance
      to
      the
      former
      Halloween
      nights
     
     
      spent
      at
      The
      Barn.
      But
      perhaps
      this
     
     
      was
      too
      much
      of
      a
      switch.
      Too
      fast.
     
    

    
     
      Or,
      perhaps
      not.
      I
      suppose
      it
     
     
      depends
      on
      which
      side
      of
      the
      fence
     
     
      you're
      on.
      Or
      which
      side
      of
      the
      fight-
     
     
      ing,
      bar-lines,
      and
      dance-floor
      you
     
     
      were
      on.
      This
      was
      certainly
      an
      inter-
     
     
      esting
      Halloween
      night.
      And
      I
      would
     
     
      say,
      an
      unforgettable
      one.
