So this wonderful Halloween weekend, I was lucky enough to be co-hosting the world\u2019s most epic party. I\u2019m allowed to say that without tooting my own horn, because I use the term \u201cco-hosting\u201d in the loosest way possible.<\/p>\n
My amazing friend Chris has a tradition of holding epic Halloween parties, but he wasn\u2019t going to have one this year because his apartment was too small. So I volunteered my little townhouse for his use. BEST. DECISION. EVER.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how I knew the party was going to be epic. Chris comes over with six Rubbermaid tubs full of decorations and asks, \u201cIs anyone allergic to smoke? Because I have a smoke machine\u2026\u201d Oh, yes. And that was only the start. There was a six foot tall, inflatable glowing pumpkin statue at my door. There were garlands and streamers and orange lights all over. There were cobwebs strewn over our bookshelves and evil things with glowing eyes hanging from the walls. Our home looked creepier than I ever thought possible.<\/p>\n
Then\u2026 there were the games. This is Chris\u2019 16th annual party, and to say he\u2019s an expert is a massive understatement. There was pumpkin carving, egg tossing, bobbing for apples (and I\u2019ll tell you, I don\u2019t remember the water being so cold when I was 7), Name That Tune and a DnD-esque game, where your individual character had the power to steal points or get up to other trickery. It was ridiculous amounts of fun. Everyone was laughing and talking and getting eggs splattered on them\u2026 oh wait, that was only one guy.<\/p>\n
As for costumes, some of the more notable ones included: a Boy Scout, Rosie the Riveter (she\u2019s the girl from those American WWII posters who says, \u201cWe Can Do It!\u201d), the Mad Hatter, some paper bag princesses, Vince from Slap Chop \u2013 complete with examples \u2013 Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys, the lottery, some grapes, a tomato, a bubble bath, Elmer\u2019s glue and the girl from Avatar (painted entirely blue). Everyone really enjoyed themselves and I had so much fun doing it! It was great to take a night off and just enjoy everyone\u2019s company.<\/p>\n
