Pumpkin ale and a great time!

[sid]

I went to a Halloween party last night.  It's been a few years since I've done that!  Only one person didn't wear a costume.  We had a Viking husband and wife, Scary Movie guy, a pregnant Goth chick, a French maid, an executioner, a gynecologist (Dr. Philip MacCrevice), Captain Condom, a showgirl with black feathers on her wrists and in her hair, a guy who looked like he'd been in a horrible accident, or been stabbed or something.  The host was kind of miscellaneous - he had a long gray wig and a big hat with a skull emblem on the front and the rest of his outfit was sort of Pilgrim-esque.  Looked very cool, but it wasn't meant to be anything in particular!

And I went dressed as a volunteer at a charity golf tournament.  Because, I once WAS a volunteer at a charity golf tournament, and so all I had to do was put on the khakis and the shirt and hat with logo and I was all set.  I'm not big on Halloween, but I've got a costume for life (although the visor is starting to look pretty misshapen *g*).

Lots of good munchies, and the pumpkin ale was very tasty.  But, since I had a forty minute drive to get home, I left before midnight.  It was sad.  There was plenty of beer left.  *sniffs*

All the costumes sound wonderful *g* I'm glad you had such a great time *snags some pumpkin ale*

There was also a pumpkin dip, which was great with pretzels and crackers, and some pumpkin bread with a swirl of cream cheese going through it. Think I will have to find a pumpkin recipe to make!

Mmm, those sounds divine, and here all I ever make is pumpkin pie and pumpkin seeds.

Gosh, I haven't had pumpkin seeds since I was a teenager. I can remember buying little boxes of them when I was in Junior High. *is nostalgic* Those and Hostess fruit pies and Suzy-Q's. You know, fuel for the long walk home from school. ;-)

I haven't been to a Halloween party in my adult life, but I want to! It sounds like yours was fun XD

I've had a pumpkin dip before, it was really good with vanilla wafer cookies :D

When I was working in high school we had the option to come into work in costume instead of in uniform. I came in in jeans and a band tshirt and said I was a concert goer. They didn't appreciate the humor. I think you and I had the right idea!

Sure! Why spend a bunch of money and look all goofy when you can just go to your closet?

I can only remember two other Halloween parties I've been to as an adult. But there may be some in the dim, distant past that I don't remember so good. ;-)

Your party sounds like it was a lot of fun!

We had a costume party once, with a prize for the best costume. My mother was the judge, & for some reason she looked at me in my hippie costume & declared that that wasn't even a costume for me, I dressed like that all the time. I pointed out that I didn't usually carry a guitar, but she still gave the prize to someone else.

What? You don't usually carry a guitar around with you everywhere you go?

I thought everybody did. ;-)

I had a great time. I'm really glad I was able to go - I had been under the weather for a few days, but that went away just in time!

I know, it's so weird! I didn't even have a guitar to carry around until I moved in with Pat. And then most of the time she made me leave it home.

Gosh, all a person needs is a guitar and a hat for people to toss coins into! :-D
