Halloween 2011

Saturday, October 29th was the costume party at the Hippo!  Actually, the real party with prizes for costumes is Monday night...but some of us work, so we can't go to that!  But The Three of We dressed up and went!

Garry went as an angel, because he knew that I (Damian) was going as a devil.


He's All Sparkly and Angelic!


At the "2 Hours Until We Leave" mark, Russ began frantically tearing through the costume closet, trying to put anything together based on what he grabbed.  He did pretty good this year!   



Reminded Us of the Evil Rabbit from Danny Darko

Damian, celebrating his 30-pound weight loss, assembled a version of the devil dancers from the Elvira movie.  A few folks told me that my costume was the winner of the night.  <shrug>



All dressed up, we went outside.  Of course, this is the year that it snowed on October 29th, so it was cold out there!  However, first snowfall means Damian's big, furry coat can be worn!

 

We got there early so we could see all the other costumes come in.  There were, as always, lots of good ones.  Here's a few shots that we managed to grab:




Rob and Danielle showed up!  Their costumes (ahem) were T-shirts with the word "Debbie" on her shirt and "Dallas" on his.  I spent some time explaining the joke to Russell and Garry.  (And Mathew the next day...and everyone else who didn't get the reference!)


Leslie from our gym was there with his girlfriend! 


Things began to heat up and the dancing started in earnest!




The Angel is About to Fall
 




The Three of We (plus 4) had a good time.  We danced, we drank, we chatted, we laughed.  It was a great night.
