Erin is having a Halloween Costume Party and she invited [name omitted] and me!!!!! I am really excited! Her last Halloween Party I went to was back in the late 90’s and I remember it was SO MUCH FUN! My favorite memory of that party (my last memory too since I think I shortly blacked out) was when Erin put some funky music on the stereo and we did the Soul Train Dance Line! It was great! In fact, Erin doesn’t know this but I actually secretly recorded it for posterity. Here it is:

Yeah, I know. For a bunch of white people we sure had the groove. I attribute it to the vast amounts of Manhattans and Yuenglings we drank that night.
And here’s some actual photos of that night courtesy of Erin’s extremely old Geoshities page! I am the girl dressed in red. I was supposed to be a devil. Yes, there is a man holding up my leg in the one photo. It’s upsetting to me, it really is. I lost those great shoes! 🙂 Looking at these pictures I can’t help but reminisce. The girl in the very first photo was a stripper Erin befriended (No not the angel! That’s Lisa! The other girl is the one I am referring to). We met her at Carla’s Poetry Slam in New Hope. She had a slave. She kept him chained on a leash. The few times I tried to talk to her she kept changing the subject to Sheisse Films. I really think she was molested as a child. There is simply no other explanation for that woman’s extremely odd behavior. To this day I will always remember her walking into the Halloween party at Erin’s parents’ house and Cathy saying, “I love your Dominatrix costume!” and Mistress Mercy snapping back, “I AM NOT WEARING A COSTUME!”
Oh Erin! I do hope you invite some odd guests this time too! I simply can’t wait!
One more thing– anyone have any ideas for costumes? Leave it in the comments. I honestly have no clue. But here’s the thing, I don’t want to do any of those weird slutty/sexy lady’s costumes. Suggest away! (ex. Emma and Steed, Dog and Beth, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and “Cowboy” Bob Orton, etc)
Did you and Rob split up? I don’t mean to bring up a bad subject, but, a guy can hope 🙂
Paul, Harry, My Pal, etc–We’re still together, I just promised I wouldn’t write about him anymore. That’s why I redacted his name.
Costumes:
I always adhere to the rule of no props and no face coverings which always leaves your hands free for a drink.
So in no order:ZombiesBuck Rogers/Wilma DeeringBlacula/Sugar HillMarge/Homer Simpson (yellow paint \= mask!)Peter/Lois GriffenHave fun!
This might appeal to your retro-sensibility, or it might be really, really lame.
(you guys pick who’s who)
One of you: shirt, tie, apron and feather duster.
The other: old dirty sweatshirt, a backwards Yanks cap and a cigar.
Voila: The Odd Couple.
Not that I thought you guys were “odd” or anything.
You could walk around the party dropping little gems like, “Stop leaving little notes on my pillow. I HATE little notes on my pillow. We’re all out of cornflakes, FU. It took me three hours to figure out FU meant Felix Unger!”

I just saw this in the local weekly….wear sweat shirt and pants, adhere socks, undies,stockings, etc…to finish off add a fabric softener sheet. Go as static cling! I thought it was a great idea, especially for kids, simple and warm.
