October 5, 2010 at 22:30
I want to go and get spooky because Halloween is my favorite holiday and I haven’t had a really rockin’ one for a couple years.
October 5, 2010 at 22:44
Nothing beats Halloween -well, except maybe one that’s a little more Bent than the rest!!!
October 6, 2010 at 00:00
I would hate to miss Portland’s biggest Halloween party.
October 6, 2010 at 00:41
I would bring the An amazing costume along with a woman who has done horror costuming makeup professionally
October 6, 2010 at 06:09
This sounds amazing and I would love to attend. One of my best friends ls coming up and this would be a perfect Portland Halloween!
October 6, 2010 at 10:01
Costumes? Parties? I love anything Halloween related!
October 6, 2010 at 10:48
I would love tickets! I’m bent myself, so it’s blatantly obvious that I should be at “Bent”.
October 6, 2010 at 11:45
I would love tickets… Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love dressing up and becoming someone else for the night, it always makes this (me) high school English teacher feel a bit more scandalous and mysterious. I already have a costume and am prepared for some fun… not it’s just time for an event… :) Pick me, pick me.
October 6, 2010 at 11:54
My boyfriend is going to be the love child of Gene & Richard Simmons. What could be more in the spirit of Bent and Halloween at the same time?
October 6, 2010 at 19:18
this would be an amazing event to attend !!!

Pick me…
It’s astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I’ve got to keep control
I remember doing the TIme Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let’s do the time warp again…
Let’s do the time warp again!
It’s just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let’s do the Time Warp again!
It’s so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can’t see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You’re there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You’re spaced out on sensation, like you’re under sedation
Let’s do the Time Warp again!
Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil’s eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and the favorite of my partner. I haven’t been to a Halloween party in a decade, and we would both LOVE to be able to attend this. However, these college students are strapped for cash : (

I have 5 brilliant Halloween costume ideas this year, but nowhere to go. Save me from having to get all dressed up just to strut through Safeway. This event would be perfect!
October 15, 2010 at 18:24
I would love free tickets because my friends and I are being a murder of crows for halloween and we want to show off our awesome masks.

After many years of looking for a place where I “fit”, I am so thrilled to be a part of Portland’s accepting community, and to have a partner who is completely okay with my bi-sexuality! Halloween is our favorite holiday, and I’d love to surprise him with tickets to a sexy, classy party!
