HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM RUGBY.COM
Miscellany
We like to think of Halloween as an opportunity to normalize our favorite activity – dressing up and parading around so that all may gasp in awe at our sartorial cleverness. Which is why we’re providing you with an extra-cool opportunity to bring your spooky, scary finest to an even wider audience than your usual trick-or-treating route. We want to see pics of you and your entourage in your Halloween best on our Facebook page, so friend us, post away and let your fellow Rugby fans comment. And trust us: Any fan of Rugby is a person of style with something to say. Happy posting! (And don’t eat anything that doesn’t come pre-packaged.)

The Music Slut Wraps Up the Final Day of CMJ
Music
Yesterday hanging out at the Rugby store was a special kind of CMJ experience. I got to see five amazing bands in a space with no stage, no velvet ropes, no obnoxious crowds. The venue broke down the barriers between musician and fan and totally changed the dynamic of the show. Get my full wrap-up after the jump.
