A Halloween more about the “trick” than the “treat.” Feeling cheapened by this “Shalloween” alternative, we braved the downpours of Saturday afternoon to recapture the substance of the holiday: that meaty, orange pulp found in the perfect pumpkin. With our friends Stollichnaya and Cheddar Ted, we hit up Boston Common for the Life is good® Pumpkin Festival 2005. The goal was to set the Guinness world...
