As promised.. here are some pictures from last nights party. I’m writing from the ‘bowhouse’ suite on Max’s boat.. and the internet is a little wonky.. so I’ll have to be\u00a0 a little brief.. <\/p>\n

We spent most of yesterday setting up for the Halloween party. We’d decided to have the party a week early which contributed to this being the smallest Halloween party we’ve had <\/p>\n

in some time. probably about 150 people..\u00a0 maybe\u00a0 200 people at peak.. <\/p>\n

that turned\u00a0 out to be much more manageable than the 350 or so we had <\/p>\n

last year.\u00a0 This year we got a chance to talk to many more folks.. which<\/p>\n

was really nice\/ <\/p>\n

The day began with pumpkin carving. .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then it was time for costum making.. Gabe went as ‘lil wayne’.. Max’s GF Jack (who’s awesome) did ‘Lil Gab’es ink’.. true to the designs Lil Wayne’ has. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just before the party . Diane and I took a quick pass to check out that all was ready.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then.. prompt;y at 7\/\/a zillion folks showed up. .I was ‘double rainbow (OMG, OMG !). I’d worked out a very cool led rainbow thing.. only to destroy it twice.. I opted for a simpler EL wire light up design.. more subtle.. but adequate.\u00a0 Diane was a very cure busy bee.. and she buzzed around all night keeping things moving.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Max and Jack were Lobsta’s<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kristin and Katy were The candy bar twins..<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Andrea showed up with her new baby !<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rj ?!<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s betsy.. you know.. if I label everyone.. it’ll take me all night.. here are a ton of friends in funny costumes !<\/div>\n

Sam was on everyone’s mind.. as always.. we miss you my son.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Around 11:30\/ jeff had just opened a bottle of homemade and very yummy dandeine wine when we heard a crash..<\/p>\n

Very long story., but.. a kid had evidently stolen a car somewhere in the next town. and had driven it at high speed around our corner.. he’d ‘d ended up hitting one of the cars parked at our party\/ he got out and abandoned the car. in the middle of the road. . and ran…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We called the policewho came and eventually managed to get the cars towed.. we’re not sure they ever found the guy<\/p>\n

Anyway.. the whole thing put a pretty quick end to the party just before midnight..\u00a0 A funny end to a really nice evening.. no one was hurt.. never a dull moment.. eh ?
..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We all went inside and started cleaning up we’d had quite a nice haul for the food shelf \/\/ many folks brought a donation.. \n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Well.. that was the party.. really nice..\u00a0\u00a0
now.. time for me to sleep. more tomorrow.. <\/p>\n

nite everyone.. nite sam.. we sure felt you at the party !
