yes, though i am a buddhist and traditonally only taoists have this type of festival, but i still think it's an interesting festival. To taoists, is a bad and inauspicious month to do a lot of thing, for buddhist, it's the opposite, it's a good month esp where filial piety is concerned.

Yes, it's said that during this 7th month in the lunar calender.. The Gates of Hell opens, letting the ghosts to have a 'vacation' from hell.. And during this period, people will offer some food and hell money to the ghost for some 'blessing' and 'protection'... By the way, do you know that hungry ghost festival lasts 2 months this year?

I just got back from a party last-night and all the ghosts there seemed to think that you have a great idea~~~because 1)ghosts are hungry all the time~having no actual stomachs to keep food in.
2)and ghosts are always happy to celebrate something~having nothing to do most of the time~~I mean besides haunting places and clanging chains
