The official reprehensor/FSC Halloween Party thread!
Edited on Mon Oct-31-05 10:31 PM by fudge stripe cookays
So once again, thanks to all the DUers who made the party such a raging success!

This year's was even better than last year's!

Outdoors:
The graveyard (made better this year by solar lanterns on the tombstones, and strategically aimed flashlights!)


Barlow, our vampire.


Our front porch (unfortunately, it was too dark at night- had to wait until morning for a good shot)


The back gate:


Indoors:
Fud--




Close-up of the cake




The lovely YellowDoginTexas with Fargo the Hellhound


The "outed CIA Agent"


Vlad the Impaler, Frida, and a referee


YellowDog (the voodoo priestess), ginbarn (Katherine Harris), and derby378 (Tom DeLay)


reprehensor (Ash from Evil Dead)


me


Wish we'd gotten pics of everyone, but we were busy socializing!

Had a sick child. Gotta hate that. Looks like you all had much fun. Congrats on what was obviously a great party.

26. Unfortunately
we took her to the doctor and found it is an ear infection so she is not feeling better yet. But, at least we know what is wrong and we are treating it.

Yes, you'd better!

You can take over Fargo's room for a few nights. I'm sure he won't mind. If he does, he'll just lick you a lot to let you know he wants it back. :P

18. Christmas is a little too mushy....
and overstated for me. I loved it when I was young.

Now I like a subtle underdone Christmas, and a wacky, over-the-top Halloween.

25. Thanks!
Last year we had the fake stone stuff up over all the walls, with black stuff from above.

But it was a little too labor intensive with the cathedral ceilings, and a wacked-out cat who kept ripping them down!

We decided to go for a more low key look this year.

He had his nails done yesterday-- finally got a trim (his dewclaws got tangled on Sunday! Ouch!), and a bath with a pretty new scarf.

He doesn't smell quite as bad now!

it was the several hundred mile limitation in our distances. :D

I didn't want you guys driving home drunk! Those poor people in Kansas City or St. Louis would never have been the same!

you compare them to the rest of the "drive through places" like Kansas, you may have a point!

36. Alright, who brought the Elyse Zinfandel?
Noting the 1992 vintage and noting as well my lack of a cellar, I thought it would be an appropriate time to crack this baby open.

Absolutely fantastic! Easily the best Zinfandel I've had in well, a decade!

Thank you for taking care of it if you had it stored away, or thank you for dropping a few extra bucks on us!

If it's the latter, where did you get it?

Elyse
