Halloween

While Julia and Cara were off on their travels, the rest of y'all celebrated Halloween here in New York. Lacking the necessary planning required to coordinate costumes, we ended up with a random assortment of odds and ends. My favorite response to the endless Halloween inquiry "what are you dressed as?"...Eric's succinct "Fuck you!"
So don't ask!
We began our night in Jersey City at Rick and Pam's. Consummate hosts, they provided gory Halloween eats: quiche with maggots, head cheese sandwiches, cricket salad, along with lots of candy! Here we are - check out how upset Sameer is that Eric spilled beer on his pants, hee hee!

Next stop was a dance party in Williamsburg:

There was dancing,

superhero wedgies,

and a guy with a mutant undeveloped twin growing out of his head.

The people who had the best moves on the dance floor though, were Sameer's friend Agnes:

and a friend of hers who was dressed as a "my little pony pegasus." Hers was also my favorite costume of the night - both in terms of concept and execution (extra points for being homemade and for the overall color scheme). I managed to get pictures from the side (this is the way she posed when I asked if I could get a picture),

Costumes from the next party we went to.
Of the self-explanatory variety:

Of the natural history variety:

and of the wtf variety:

And I'm ending here with Monica, because hers was definitely the most popular costume of our group's that night. At least three separate people (if not more) came up to her to gush about it.

Aeolian Ride

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


On September 8th, thirty or so bike riders suited up for Jessica Findley's Aeolian Ride (there's her sweet illustration above the post). I made it to the Williamsburg Bridge to take pictures of Julia, James, Eric, Elliott, and others flapping in the breeze. At the end of the puffy parade, there was Sameer, sans suit, following the ride at a leisurely pace.

I believe others have pre- and post-ride pictures, and perhaps pictures of the Soho Art Parade?

Why yes Audrey--funny that you should mention it! I do in fact have some pictures of my own! Below are Julia's pics from the Aeolian Ride, though sadly, no shots from the Art Parade itself cause it was too damn hot and too damn crowded to warrant the effort required...



And, some of the lovelies that made it over to Nancy Whiskey following the ride:
