Been a while since it happened, but looking back I can safely say this Halloween was a total success. The Paper party was cool, but I was mostly on duty manning our “merch table”. The next night I made it to 3 parties and got home at, I dunno, 4AM… so that basically equaled a good time.
Once you grow past the trick-or-treating phase Halloween becomes less about scary stories and more about dressing up and making a fool of yourself. Something at Dance Party Massacre that is fine with us!
First party we went to was hosted by some guy named Eric who works at Puma, which sounds like messing with the enemy, but it was cool. He managed to keep the spook and the fun together and the whole place was decorated like hell with the ticker being custom blacklight-responsive paint and some reaaaallllly great music that I would totally have picked out myself.
There was also an ice luge, which I hadn’t done in years, and kept telling people that it was gross. But it was really just a facade, because I eventually put my lips to that ice and never looked back. We ended up at that party most of the night and now Eric has a brand new coat to call his own that I left in his closet.
After an awful cab-ride that took foreeveeerr and yanked us of our money, we got lost and finally found my co-worker Dana’s place (See? Kept the Converse alive too.). It was probably dying down, but that was fine. I could only make out about half of peoples costumes because they were falling apart by this time of the night.
My friends who also lives in JP gave me a ride home, but we found some friends on the side of the street looking like bums waiting for a cab. So they hopped in the car, which was NOT meant for this many people, and dropped them off in Chinatown. One of them really wanted Chinese food, and we weren’t gonna stop the guy.
Stopped by one last place on the way home. Managed to use my Mountain Dew/Vodka/Blood combo drink, and then went home and peaced out. Best part of the last party—I walk in and playing on the TV is A Nightmare on Elm Street 2. I made a geek of myself and called out the film to some girl on the couch and went on to tell her how gay the movie is, like literally gay.
THE END.
