We have a clear winner and its Chicago. Yes it's kinda fun to go trick or treating in the pitch dark. And having a bunch of houses wind around a cemetery is pretty awesome, BUT
Chicago's north side has a great population distribution. In 3 hours in Chicago my daughter netted 1,000 pieces of candy 2 years ago. Last night my daughter's haul was 162 pieces. More work in Aspen and less reward. On pure volume alone (and how else should one judge Halloween) Chicago kills Aspen.
But wait there is more. How about spooky moments when trick or treating. In Chicago there are houses with dry ice and vampires and strobe lights and lots of recent big 10 graduates dressed as sexy ........ (fill in the blank). In Aspen my kids were given bibles and my son (in his Kellyanne outfit) was treated to a full New Testament sermon. That is a different type of scary. I'll again give the nod to Chicago.
And then there are numbers. I would probably see close to 3,000 kids on Burling in 3 hours in Chicago. That is half the total population of Aspen. Yes, you do get some nice quiet moments around the cemetery to scare yourself or make out with a girlfriend, but I will again give the nod to Chicago for pure fun volume-cazy.
So if you want to pick your town based on 1 night Chicago is your place.
However, if you are planning on spending some time in the local jail, I am going to recommend Aspen. Seems a 31 year old man had consensual sex with another inmate (a 36 year old woman) while in the clink. For 2 hours. In the afternoon. It's good to be young and enjoy some afternoon delight. And of course for those of you into role playing it's taking the prisoner and warden thing to a whole new level. I guess that is one costume event Aspen wins.
