With permission, I have taken this idea from another cult. I think it would be great here.

This is a thread to post what you are totally stoked on. Share with us your happiness.  :)

Headless Horseman Hayride and Haunted House

778 Broadway (Route 9W), Ulster Park.
339-BOOO
www.headlesshorseman.com
Open: Fri.-Sun. through Oct. 19, then Oct. 23-26 and Oct. 29-31
Hayrides depart at 7 p.m.
Admission: $29
Reservations strongly suggested

"HHHHH" boasts a narrated hayride through dark woods, three haunted houses, a corn maze and walk-through attraction for its 16th season. Entertainment is provided by John Shaw and his "Pandemonium Midnight Sideshow." Grab pumpkin pie or pizza at four food stands and give your credit card a workout at five gift shops. If the opening-night crowd is any indication, this place is going to be packed the closer it gets to Halloween. Definitely make reservations.

FEAR FACTOR: For the best scares, sit on the back of the hayride. You'll have the Headless Horseman in your face — and he comes so close you can feel the warmth of his horse's breath — and chain-saw-wielding madmen in your lap. For the best views, though, opt for one of the sides. The corn maze and haunted houses all contributed to an overall frightening experience. 5

PROPS/COSTUMES: Loved, loved, loved the hayride! The props were phenomenal, and turning various children's fairy tales evil was delightfully twisted. 5

ACTORS: The Wicked Witch of the West forgot her line, but that was the one stumbling block in an otherwise polished performance. Watch out for the demented dentist! Speaking of actors, we sat next to Matthew Gray Gubler from CBS' "Criminal Minds" on our hayride. Even the celebs love the horseman! Especially impressive is the actors' ability to distract you while other actors move in for the scare. 4.5

Overall: 4.9



Going tomorrow night with the work crew, sooooooo stoked!!! (none of the other haunted attractions were rated near this high)

Just drove home from work in near blizzard conditions. Heavy, wet snow was creating traction issues, and high winds and snow in the air created visibility.

It felt good to be creeping along at 25mph again and seeing buses sitting defeated at the bottom of passes that they can't make it over.

Congrats DUDE!

Throwing a premiere is an interesting process to say the least. Were you FREAKING out as people were walking in? I always worry NO ONE is going to show up, even to sure thing venues like UVM.

CONGRATS again!

Fuckkk, likely going to ski some this afternoon.

Also, went on a tour of Burton corp and manufacturing today up in Burlington. Quite the operation they have going. Definitely a success story of a company from nothing , and I certainly gained some respect for the company as well.

I got 50% off goods at the store too, so I got a pair of AK Tech gloves for $27.

ALSO, got paid mileage to drive up there. Over 200 miles total, at 50 cents per mile. I went through about $30 of gas. I'll have made money on today, and got a nice pair of gloves out of it.

Way stoked.

DUDE! Thanks man.

And yeah, I was worried at first when planning this thing about how many people were going to come out to it. I was like I uno if this is a good idea. So I tied in a pubcrawl with the Ski and Snowboard Club at my university.

We ended up selling 130 tickets for it in 2 days. And we sold probably another 100+ for just the premiere. I was soo stoked after selling those tickets days in advance. We probably had close to 300 people at this thing.

Having redbull fully onside always makes it easier.. Free red bull and super cheap Jager bombs. As well as beer sponsors.


Its premiere time again tonight with Voleurz boys. Gonna be a sick night! STOKED! And then I have the all ages again with them tomorrow. Dope.

The haunted hayride I went on was absolutely amazing. The hayride itself was the best. We got "the best seats", right on the back of the trailer with our feet hanging off. From here, the experience was out of this world. The headless horsemen was right on our tail when he came out. I literally felt the horse breath on my face he was that close. The guys with chainsaws were the highlight...they came out of nowhere & I literally scrambled backwards as they hacked at our legs screaming and swinging at us, it was so real. The sound, the vibration. Never have I ever 'feared for myself' than at this point. Also a very large creepy tree creature came out, so close that he layed all of his branchy extremities on us as we fell backwards to escape. Soooo many good points, and I had the crap scared out of me.

Another highlight was through the corn maze, where an old scarecrow came out and followed us...I was the last in line, as he grabbed and "kidnapped" me where he wouldn't let me catch up to the crew - watching them disappear into the distance without knowing was creepy! Hahaha, it was intense. A couple times I was knocked on my ass from being jumped at. Seriously, I loved every minute.

Just got back from a 5 day real estate conference/bender in toronto. Good food, thousands of dollars in booze, only 20 hours of sleep, private jets, it was a good time. Time for bed though.

I'm with you Adam. That's a powerful piece. I could care less what many on the right will say about this film tomorrow. It was put together well and an absolute boost to people that need it.

To those that will say, "I've seen a thousand like him before," you're obviously not affected by what's going on today or completely blinded by your party affiliation. I can honestly claim that while I've followed Obama's campaign with interest, I wasn't sure I was going to vote for him. I didn't vote for him in the NY primary.

Today I can say with confidence that Tuesday, I'll be voting for Barack Obama.

The word hope gets tossed around a lot these days but lets not lose sight of what it really means:
Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.

Is that not the American way?

I know McCain responded to it on Tuesday by saying something to extent of "when I become President, I wont push back the World Series for an Infomercial..". Either way he was wrong, WS games have started at 8:30. McCain and his ignorant incompetent followers can suck my left nut.
