I’m not sure about the rest of you, but I’ve really been taking advantage of this October to indulge in spooky movies, warm cider, and oversized sweaters. With COVID-19 cases on the rise again, I don’t have my typical Halloween activities to look forward to. I’m going to miss the overcrowded clubs, the bartenders that ignore me for 10 minutes to attend to taller patrons, and the cold weather assaulting my senses as I try to — just kidding, I won’t. But, I did need something to replace my regular Holiday festivities, so I’m sure glad I have these online October events from the WNBA-NYC to look forward to.
