Tricks and Treats

From left to right we are a blind man, a Fish Out of Water, Irish drag, and a jolly pirate.

Halloween weekend was epic. A sleepless weekend commenced on Friday evening at the much-anticipated house party. Incidentally, Ray and Danny’s is right by the cemetery and ‘mortuary park.’

Since there are only a handful of costume shops in town that really only cater to kids, there were quite a few repeats, but the standouts were the Moulin Rouge crew, Dave was the best one in drag there, Colonel Sanders was a nice touch, and Stephan was the only Viking with blood all over his foot and scooter (yep, that was another trip to the hospital).

As I was a fish out of water, I only thought it fitting to drink like one, and basically it was good time all-around. By the time the night was out, I’d misplaced my sweet hat, and the blue on my boas had rubbed off all over me so I was really more of a smurf than anything else. I was quite blue for a while… At the end of the night, Erin and Craig were kind enough to triple scooter me home, which under normal circumstances I’d consider dangerous…

The next morning at brunch, Jackie summed it up nicely when she noted that before we all knew it, it was already 4:30. Really, where does the time go? It’s weird, it is. Anyways, I’m missing a boa if anyone might know where it is. Or perhaps it flamed out when that tiki torch fell off the balcony and set my hair on fire…It’s alright, my hair was getting too long anyway.
