The really wild stuff tends to happen around the beginning and end of each month, you're probably fine if you aim for the middle somewhere. Oh, and holidays! You should probably avoid the holidays, someone is definitely gonna try to mess things up around Halloween and Christmas. Maybe even Thanksgiving, although if there's a turkey-themed bad guy out there, frankly I would love to meet them.
