Boo!

I didn't have the money or creativity to come up with a great costume this year for Halloween. Luckily, I was able to borrow this incredible, handmade costume from my friend Lisa. She invited me over to look through two Rubbermaid bins full of wonderful costumes, mostly hand sewn by her. Medusa won out over the others because of the scare factor (Wonder Woman was my second choice). Lisa's masterpiece for this year was a fantastic mermaid costume. 

Unfortunately, Troy didn't make it out with me this year to celebrate (too busy with academic/robot stuff). But I made sure to enjoy the holiday for the both of us. 

I went out with Lisa and some other friends on both Friday and Saturday nights. We were a little disappointed not to win any costume contests. On Saturday, it was actually a bit sickening. The judge clearly picked some cheap, store-bought costumes (one was Princess Leah) because the women that were wearing them were well endowed. Blech.
Mother Nature, Mermaid, Little Red Riding Hood, Medusa and Lady Gaga
In any case, I had fun with this creative group of girls. On Friday, we went to the nearby casino, Fortune Bay, to see Hairball. The band put on a good show. They cover the songs of Guns n' Roses, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Prince and more. The two lead singers take turns singing and dressing up like the front men of the bands they cover. It was pretty entertaining!
