At the end of last month, the day before Halloween, I got to cover a unique event: the first Great Pumpkin Drop, in which 14 people dressed in costume got to chuck pumpkins off the roof of the Hippodrome Theatre downtown. It was the first time anyone had even been allowed on the roof before, let alone throw pumpkins off of it, aiming at a giant painted target down below (pictured above). It was fun admiring the costumes and watching people throw the pumpkins off the roof, especially the woman dressed as Kate Goslin, the famous mom of 8 from the TLC show "Jon & Kate Plus 8", who wrote "Jon" on the side of her pumpkin in Sharpie before throwing it off the roof and shattering it to pieces.
