Saturday, October
29th
On Saturday afternoon I met up with the Fatty and we decided to hit
the Halloween store and try to figure out what we wanted to dress up
as. Here's Fatty trying to decide between outfits. In the end, he bought
a shirt on St. Mark's Place that said something like "Fuck
you, You Fucking Fuck" and decided that he was going to carry
around his camera and be a "tourist visiting NYC."
Oh, apparently most tourists have black hair so he also bought hair dye
and then we went back to his apartment and I helped him dye it.
Yep, there you go. Now you look like you're just visiting.
I decided that I was going to dress up as a mime...
...that just got his ass-kicked! Hahahah.
First I practiced my mime-moves.
Then I practiced my "You broke my mime-nose!" expressions.
Perfect!
Hahahah.
Later that night I went to a party down in Chinatown (right on the block
where I used to live!) and met up with Fatty (dressed up as "Tourist
Visiting New York"), Amanda (dressed up as Harajuku girl?) and...
...Grant, who was (predictibly) dressed up as a woman! The best part
about Grant dressing in drag is that everyone thinks he's dressed up
as...
Miyam Bialik (TV's Blossom!). Hahahah.
Making things even better (worse?), at the time, Grant was doing all
kinds of body building because he was writing for Muscle and Fitness
magazine. So he looked like if Miyam Bialik was a member of the Ukranian
Women's Weightlifting Team.
Saucy!
Hahaha. Do you think we're sexy?
How 'bout now?
Grant and Amanda on the dance floor.
Two really cute girls dressed up as Pantone colors that I didn't even
bother trying to flirt with because...
...I looked like this.
Amanda didn't mind, though.
Grant show Amanda how to maximize her cleavage: You gotta reach in
and pop 'dem titties out.
Hahahaha.
Cah-cah-creepy!
We left the party in Chinatown (look at Grant's back!!!), hopped in
a cab and headed to the Village to check out....
...Misshapes! We snuck in the side entrance and headed right to the
back office where I ran into Sarah "My Chemical Romance Fan" Lewittinn.
Sarah was helping someone fix the garter belt on their costume...
...Leigh was dressed up as the girl from Moulin Rouge.
And Geordon was dressed up as Christian from Moulin Rouge!
I figured that Greg would've joined in with Leigh and Geo and stuck
with the Moulin Rouge theme, but he opted to dress like that
creepy Peter Pan guy instead! Hahaha. (And Alexis was dressed
up as Donatella Versace!!! Holy, Bonersville! Hahaha).
Me and Tinny.
The full-glory of our costumes!
Leigh wearing the scary wig that we all took turns trying on a few
weeks ago.
I forget what this guy's name was but he dressed up as Frita Kahlo
and it was epic.
Hahaha. Amazing.
Gurj and a bunch of her friends showed up dressed as Japanese
Harajuku girls! Tee-hee-hee!
Scott dressed up as an angel (Victoria's Secret Angel?).
Ryan dressed up as Spiderman.
Ben Cho dressed up as Ben Cho.
Satine and Frita.
Mime and Mimette.
Late night: Tinny found a wheelchair outside and started wheeling herself
around in laps.
Hahaha.
She ended up accidentally crashing into some drunk girl, and the drunk
girl's girlfriend tried to start a fight with the Tins. Tins ended
up getting into a little fisticuffs and ended up breaking her index
finger! Hahahah. Look at her swollen sausage finger!
Amanda and Grant: 4am.
Me, doing my impression of Buckethead.
Sunday, October 30th
On Sunday I stopped by work to celebrate the launch of the new software
platform that powered all of my company's community sites: a project
that was over two years in the making!
They flipped the switch and we got to watch traffic flood onto the
new servers in real time! (This is the type of thing that only nerds
like me find exciting).
Right after the launch, Gunjan, who was in charge of development, got
showered with champagne!
Monday, October 31st
Monday night was Halloween proper, but I was sorta burned out from
the weekend so I decided to just go to a party that was local in my
neighborhood. I ran into Natascha and her friend dressed up as old
school hip-hoppers.
Hahahaha. Soooo amazing.
And then a whole crew of people that I had seen on Saturday night who
were out again this time in different costumes!
Ben Cho (as Scary Bunny?), Geordon (as Adam Ant?), the Frida Kahlo
guy (this time as a guy in a top hat?) And another girl I didn't know
(dressed up as Freddy Kreuger meets Edward Scissorhands???).
Ben Cho with Amy K! (dressed up as a Crazy Cat Lady!!).
I left relatively early and when I hit the street I ran right into
Meredith!
She was dressed up as "Girl Who Got Stood Up By Her Prom Date." Hahaha.
I convinced her to get a drink with me and tried to convince her to
give me a second chance.
