It was a smaller crowd than usual, but that didn't stop us from having a really fantastic time! A great time was had by all, much alcohol was consumed (22 people, 10 bottles of wine and 24 bottles of beer - oh, my!), and fantastic costumes were thoroughly appreciated!
Dick, Christopher and I did a costume trio this year. We did a Social Networking theme. I was Facebook, Dick was the attention getting/trying to stay relevant My Space, and Christopher was Twitter.
Twitter, Facebook and MySpace
Each of our costumes had a "schick": I had stickers that I put on everyone and everything that said things like "Trina Likes this", or "Cool Costume!" or "LOL", etc., I had had a bag full of farm animals (a cow, sheep, pig, etc.,) that I tossed at everyone saying, "Superpoke"!
Dick was "My Space" - trying to remain relevant, by wearing flashing lights, honking his horn, and trying to make sure that people didn't forget him. hilarious.
My Space
Christopher was "Twitter" complete with a little stuffed bluebird (who really did tweet!) and a megaphone so that he could "retweet" what everyone else was saying. On his back, he wore a sign that said, "Follow Me".
Each of us wore white boards that we wrote and changed our status on. Or, at least, that was the intent, but I kept forgetting to write anything new!
We were a big hit on Castro Street, which was big fun. The three of us were stopped several times to have our pictures taken. ;)
We had several really great costumes at the party!
Here are some of the highlights:
Richard and Pete as creepy spiders!
Creepy Blane as a spider with an egg sac (ewwww!)
Shan as Max Headroom!
Philip as the Jolly Green Giant
Bunny & Mike - our 70s couple
Moshabar, Tanzeem & Will
Sharon & Kevin
David and Miguel as Batman & Robin
Lynn & Kathy
Michael (and Mike) - another 70s guy!
Graham and my sister, who didn't actually wear a costume, but get appreciation credit for coming! Actually, I told Graham that he could be a fourth in our costume since he was wearing a shirt with "SPAM" on it. ;)
Thanks so much to all who came! We had a really great time this year!
love the white board idea for status updates!
