The Ohio Theater was the happy site of a post-Halloween party Sunday night, with the Grateful Dead and New Riders of the Purple Sage providing musical tricks and treats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany in the more-than-packed house were in costume and the concert induced dancing in the aisles, the orchestra pit, and even the box seats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe show had been sold out well in advance, but people didn't seem to pay much attention to seats, anyhow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's near impossible to describe, define or categorize this group.
