HaloWEEEEEEEEN ( No not the band, more like a happy yelp)
It happened again, as it does every year, and this year it was fun, again. We hosted a bunch of people in costumes at our new place which is refered to as 'holdom house'. It is refered as this by grad students at SFU who are in the know about this dirt cheap rent mansion where festivities are often held. I have lived in a party house before, but i was much younger. The slum days were full of gatherings of friends and strangers with little regard for noise levels or states of inebriation. We invited everyone over for around 7, and by 830 i was stating such things as 'what the hell is wrong with people' and 'everyone is sooOOOooo fashionable these days'. Christina and meghan had shown up on time, good friends always do. The rest of the rabble started stumbling in around 930. I went downstairs for a moment to arrange my drum kit, i was hoping to get a bit of a jam going later and also get it set up so that i can discuss its use with our neighbor. By the time i came back upstairs we had a bunch ofpeople i didnt know standing near all of my stuff. I started mingling and what not. Mike (our roomate) was dressed up as the doode. He sauntered about the house greeting and meeting. My memory of events at this point starts getting hazy. One clear memory i have is the following morning asking christina if she saw me being a dick, and she said no, so therefore i assume i was well behaved throught the evening, or something.
I went as a bird. Originally i was going to be a hooded warbler but then transitioned into 'general bird' with some discussion being had between me and margaret about resemblence to the bird lady from kids in the hall. Margaret went as cannibal fuckface, she had me sew the entire thing but did a great job on constructing the slorg.
We did the pumpkin thing. Nothing says 'fuck you nutrition' as a day full of candy and pissing away perfectly edible food. Guess who made each pumpkin, and remember, margaret was cannibal fuckface.
Two days after the party ( day one after the party was spent in full recovery mode ) we went to the forest looking for mushrooms. We only found three chantrelles, terrifying. But that didnt seem to get margaret and christina down.
So at the moment its the official haloween. We have our pumpkins out front and its prime tricking hour. The problem is that there is a monsoon outside and kids are whiney little bitches these days who dont dare to step outside because their xbox might get wet. We would be out there tricking and treating utnill one of fell ill from pneumonia. Then the others would take that persons candy and wear their face as a mask. The image above is our setup for the front door. The idea is that our candy sits on a stool a few steps inside the door. Delirium cordia is being played at very loud volumes. When the kids knock the door is opened by margaret and held at 1/2 open. I hide behind the door with her and menace the kids with the slorg. They have 7 seconds to dare to step foot inside the house and grab some candy from the stool.
