Number of window displays currently containing pirate-related stuff within two blocks of the Baghdad Theater on SE Hawthorne: 4.

Number of establishments playing In Rainbows within that same two block radius on Sunday night: 2.

Number of Converse tennis shoes on my feet at the time: 2.

Number of apartments with ironic (?) outdoor Halloween displays incorporating those creepy "grandkid" dolls done up as zombies and skeletons down the street and around the corner: 1.

Eeep.
