Halloween Party-October 29, 2005

HALLOWEEN 2005
PHEBES
New York, NY


The day didn’t start out very well. I woke up with a sinus infection: sinus pressure, headache, dizziness, tender gums, etc. I was thinking: ‘Great. I’m sick and I won’t be able to go out and enjoy the festivities.’

I was wrong. Steve’s mom came to my rescue! She advised several remedies that seemed to cure me: taking Sudafed and Tylenol, and squirting warm water up my nose. The latter was painful, but well worth the suffering. THANKS Mrs. Schwartz!

After spending the entire day of Steve nursing me back to good health—THANKS to you too Steve—we were ready to purchase the materials needed for our costumes: white lab coats and a sharpey.

Drew, Steve and myself went as the Hanso Foundation Dharma Initiative Scientists. (Only those who watch LOST Wednesday nights at 9pm on ABC will get our costumes)

Drew, general scientist; Steve, zoologist; and Jaren, utopian social order specialist.

And $35 later for all you can drink until 1am....


Chris and Claudia: "Waiting out the Storm"
One of the most creative costumes I've ever seen!


...Four minutes Later.

Let's see here. We have a tennis doubles team, a devil/angel all in one,

Claudia and a guy dressed up as a girl(?)


One of our scientists seems to be confused by the outcome of the experiment--

it contradicts his hypothesis


The ladies.


People at the bar. Most popular costumes:

Girls: Rainbow Bright , Punky Bruster; Guys: dressing up as girls



Chris being funny. He didn't have his purple UW Husky hat to hold while dancing.

Instead, he had another purple hat...



Random people at the bar.

Very creative costumes. I actually caught a glimpse of a ghostbuster myself! Maybe the two lost track of each other? Miss you! :)

The Punky Brewster is my fav. Maybe I'll have Dave wear that next year.

We were so worn out after the 2 month streak of visitors we didn't have any energy left for planning a party and costumes. Plus I think last year should last until next Halloween.
