Halloween Party 2008

Click me for a few more photos:


We had a handful of trick-or-treaters... maybe 5 small groups. The best result was the tiny wingéd fairy who was, I think, already hopped up on sugar. She commanded conversation with a voice that somehow managed to be a high-pitched bellowing. [To all generally in her party]: "Look at the punkin patch [i.e. jack-o-lantern]!" [To me and dark_of_night]: "Your punkin patch is soooo byuuuutiful!" It was enough to make me temporarily reconsider my long-held belief that our species should, for the benefit of our planet, forego procreation.

And there was plenty of chaotic partying as well. I hope people enjoyed the tasting of commercial and homemade aromatherapy products. Although I feel justly proud of our homebrew, it was great to get some external validation.

Thanks to everyone who came, and apologies to those to whom the size of our home precluded an invitation.

We had a good time. Thanks for inviting us and not shooting me for the sin of coming in an almost identical (if inferoir) costume.

I grieve at my absence, but I thank you again for the invitation and I trust that a frightfully good time was had by all.

Alex and I were really sad to miss it. Thank you so much for the invite, and it looks like it was a lot of fun. :)

Thanks, but I owe a lot to obishawn who lent me some of his Indy props.

No worries - you redeemed yourself with a crystal skull full of vodka.

Sorry to miss it -- I just don't go to parties or clubs on Hallowe'en night -- but you did a fine job with Doctor Jones there. It's funny, but the texts don't indicate the Ark's actual size, do they? The movie apparently lied, too...
