Halloween Party
What can I say? It was a freakin' awesome party! Everyone who came had fantastic costumes. The contest was really close (well, exept for the "adult male" catagory...see pictures to understand). Everyone helped with wine and food and the spread was awesome. The food was delicious. I'm pretty sure the kids (both big and small) had a blast. The pinata was a hit (at least for some...quite a few missed completely!) The high point of the night was eretik who showed off her skill for her first public firespinning performance. As I told her, when she was done there wasn't a man there (married or single) that hadn't seriously considered trying to take her home with them! HA! She was so worried and nervous but it was the most awesome thing. The neighbor teenaged geeks were making Indian hooting sounds when the drumming started...that is until eretik started the show. Then they were quite quiet as they sat on their porch and watched. Hehe. Included for your entertainment is a small video of the show. The mead and wine flowed freely and the last guests left well after 3AM. The weather finally cooperated this year! Seven years of parties and it's always raining, freezing, and/or windy as hel. This year no wind, no rain and it was about 55 degrees all night. The fire was toasty and the friends were warm. Thanks to everyone for making this year another sucess!

Hebe and Eris...so Hebe's a little small...she still has time to grow before Heracles comes along...
