Was mischief night practiced in other states? We were all good catholic boys in my gang but it was not religious.

Talk about a trip down memory lane! I lived in NJ as a kid (Metuchen), went to Catholic school and we likewise did the mischief nite thing ... maybe not quite to the same level you talked about in your post ... but hey, we were dumb kids and had fun.
