Hell of a ween...

After much debate, we decided to throw another halloween pre-funk party at our house this year. Because petersburg decided to have the bar parties on Nov 3rd, we didnt know if people would still be down for dressing up. We even skipped over to wrangell the weekend before and partied the night away in our costumes at their parties just in case. Mitch dressed as lenny kravitz won "most scariest" at the *elks* lodge - we all got a kick out of that. Josh won "most original" and i came in second behind him. As prizes we received useless dinner certificates.

So when saturday came upon us, it was time for some more creative party ideas. The internet is amazing for things like that, and pretty soon we had a kitchen full of ghoulish treats.

Here is a skull covered with cream cheese and then a layer of smoked salmon:

Here we have a carrot hand emerging from a bowl of dill dip:

If i had bought just one more tub of hummus i could have made this look much more brain-like:

People were scared to even try these - lychees stuffed with grapes, resembling eyeballs!

We recycled the baby limb punch idea, but this time I went for a bloodier look:

And finally the jack-o-lantern that zieak spent close to 2 hours on:


The turnout was pretty spectacular, although many people who said they would attend did not. I tried not to let that bring me down, and instead concentrated on the fabulous attendees that did make a showing... Our first arrivals included a vampiress, Party Boy and Lenny Kravitz:

Here i think you can spot a couple of the 7 hos from one of disneys greatest tales, the "dick in the box" singers, little red riding hood in the forefront, and hermoine from harry potter in the far back:

Another of the 7 hos, "Cock":

Next we have Little Bo Peep, Gretel and Goldilocks, altogether now - aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!:

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Little Red Riding Hood, Olive from Little Miss Sunshine, and Ms. Elvis!:

Mr and Ms Elvis...

Lenny again:

Joe Bob Bubba and El Osso Bolador:

Dick in a box:

The tourists, ummmm i dont know, and jesus:

And i leave you with one last awesome shot of party boy:


I actually won money again this year and didnt lose it, thanks to Ailis! I dont think it was fair that i took first at the moose (there were much more deserving costumes than mine) but remembering the tumble i took off of the curb getting there, i am thinking maybe i deserve every penny of it.
