Trick-or-treating night? A visitor wrote asking which night will be considered the trick-or-treating night, Thursday (Oct 30) or Friday (Oct 31). My response was "Friday, of course!" but he is new to LA and said he heard some places were doing it on Thursday.  Can anyone fill us in?  Thursday or Friday for kid's trick-or-treating?
