Hallowoot
Well. Last weekend was pretty close to perfect.
A pal from NYC visited for a long weekend. She got here Thursday & we gathered on the South Side to see her and Eric D. do standup. They were the best two there. And no, not just because we know them. For realsies, most of the comics were a) men, b) really, really angry c) sometimes angry toward women! So it was nice to get a female in there, and people who didn't just whine about shit the whole time.
Friday, just the two of us went to FallingWater. It was abso gorgeous. It was a somewhat rainy day, but that didn't put a damper on the day at all. In fact, I like that it brought out the smell of the woods. Know what I mean? The house was unbelievable. So smart and beautiful at the same time.
Saturday was the big party, of course. We had a much better turnout than expected (50+!), and the costumes were fabulous! Our Little Mermaid theme came together really nicely! It was a great mix of old & new friends. You guys really are the best.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the party.
1. Me fighting with Triton over the trident.
2. The whole Little Mermaid group. Josh became a make-shift Sebastian when he showed up in red long underwear and LZ happened to have red fingerless gloves in her bag. Hilarious.
3. Me with my minions, Flotsam & Jetsam. I love this photo because Triton is coming in for the kill from the upper right corner.
4. The villains & Triton. Scary, no?
This weekend we conquer The Evaline!
