Pictures supposedly say a thousand words...and much of that was needed to remember what happened at the party. Needless to say the first party of the 344 MPK house elevated even big ed's expectations of what a party should be like. Bern quotes that she hasn't partied like that since college and yes folks..that is what it was like (beer bong and all). As i'm still piecing together aspects of the nite (shotty memory is not helped by excessive drinking), i'm still amazed at how well it went. Some points to highlight.
a) Amazing costumes: The wizard, Plug and socket, 80's rock stars, gangsters, baby, scarecrow, cartoon stars, sailors, pirates, cop and even michael jackson.
b) Food was great: although all i ate were 2 beef tacos, i hear everything else came and went fairly quickly. Terrific spam musubi care of Karen.
c) Environment/Spookyness: I walked outside sorta sober one point and thru the fog to see about 15 people. Some point later in the nite both garland and i swear we look outside and see this.
had to be like 60+ people at the party, inside and out. Course the evite count already freaked us out as we were coming closer to the day.
d) The people: I have to say i have been blessed with such great family and friends. All my cousins and family came out to participate (ranging from lil red riding hood, bonnie and clyde, disney fanatics, the ghost specter, and donald and daisy duck.) Coworkers, college friends, convention friends and people i have never met made for a great nite. I really have to thank my 344 crew (Garland and Karen) for keeping me sane in preparation, Ed and Dre my workout partners and party planners, Bren/Kelly/Dre/Karen as the cleanup crew the next day, and especially my evil twin Rico for making me lose my mind that nite. Damn Henessey. Till next year ;)..maybe
