Halloween 2007 - 27 Oct 2007
Our Halloween party this year doubled as a little bit of a going-away party, since it was going to be the last time I'd be able to throw a proper party at our house before I started work at Stanford. With any luck, I'll throw a new party here in California, but for now... for now I have to look back at these pictures and remember the joy.

Images
Jack
I had a nice box of toys for him to play with/take. That worked out quite well.
Beth
Miss Scarlet, in the Living Room, with the Revolver.
Helpful Dana
Helping out with putting up the cobwebs.
Ninja Lance
Tiny Ninja! So cute!
Harvey Birdman
Attorney at Law! With beer! Yay, Pat!
Little Cthulhu
Mort is adorable as a Great Old One!
Little Cthulhu, II
Karen made her the costume.
Little Cthulhu, III
Of course, it represents an ancient evil that will eventually awaken and destroy us all.
Little Cthulhi, IV
Who wouldn't want to have their soul eaten by something like this?
Birdman and Terry
It's good to see people put effort into costumes. Unlike, say, me.
Terry Bogard
From the Fatal Fury series, which Rob likes a lot.
Jesus and Cthulhu
Ia Ia Iasu!
Jesus and Cthulhu, II
Yes, that's me.
Jesus and Cthulhu, III
No comment on the sacrilege thing.
Devil Terra
Those horns just kept on being useful.
Black-Eyed Susan
It was good for Eva to let us know what it was; we were worried at first that it was something tasteless.
Toy Time
The kids were playing in front of the early stacks of boxes for moving.
Doctor Doom
Stuart's costume was probably my pick for the night.
Sarah Arrives
And she's so happy to see little Mort! Who wouldn't?
Pirate Bethany
Yaar!
Checking out Vered
Or her tattoo, anyway.
Vered's Tattoo
It's pretty damned cool.
Kangaroo Costume
She's a redhead!
Jack
He's less convincing without the mask.
Yaar!
Tired Mort, Erin, Bethany, and Some Guy.
Lisa and Mike
A Faerie and something involving a Hawaiian shirt. They counted.
Another Wolf
And Caroline the Vampire, and Zeb.
Pirate Sarah
I don't believe this was her actual costume, but she looks good in anything.
Software Pirate
Yaar! Again, that is.
Software Pirate, II
Except there were burned copies of Windows XP on his shirt.
Mike and Lisa
They were having a reasonably good time, which is always good to know when you cross social groups.
Bee and Lumbergh
Toly and Sonia, in her first public appearance.
Horseman
There was no apocalypse.
Doom is Free
The mask was hot, you see.
Tim and Tim
Thank you, Hannah and Darren. You did good.
Ryan the Wrestler
There's a shock!
John
Klaus from The Life Aquatic. Thanks, Ryan!
Bryan
I'll save this, even though Bryan looks like he's drooling, because Danielle was captured on film.
Bryan, II
A vampire elf, eh?
Hippy Ella
So happy and cheerful
Ella and Boy
I don't remember his name. Oh well.
Tim and Lance
Pirate Jesus and Tiny Ninja Will Destroy You.(tm)
Clark Kent
Shaun's costume was simple and effective.
Bryan and Sam
Sam showed up. I had forgotten about that coolness.
Doctor Scott
A mad scientist, I guess.
Little Red Riding Hood
A good excuse for cleavage for Rachel. Heh.
Wolf
The better to eat her with!
Jamie and Josh
They look happy, or at least Jamie does.
Charles
He can't believe it's not butter?
Sarah the Spirit
I should be able to more specifically identify which one, but... well, I'm not that good yet.
Sarah Mask
The mask helps too, I'm sure.
Chuck
No means No!
Kelley and Greg
An earth spirit and a...robot? Dunno
Greg, Scott, and Carrie
I think Carrie's a cow.
Sarah and Dan
A different girl every year, that's how Dan goes... oh, and by that I mean he dresses *as* a different girl.
Dan and Bill
Awww...
Bryan and Other
A Christmas Elf. It fit.
Malina
An Elf? Or a princess?
Malina, II
Something like that, anyway.
Vered
I'm not sure if there was an official costume, besides "Goth". Which is fine, she looked *good*.
The Gang
Eva, Sarah, and Rachel. I miss them all.
Tim and Eva Little Red Riding Hood and Wolf
Rachel's costume was quite good.
Raining Men
Hallelujah!
Terry Bogard Pose
Rob wanted these for reference.
Terry Bogard Pose, II
I hope that he found these before I got them up officially...
Terry Bogard Pose, III
...after all, he's still refining this costume.
Terry Bogard Pose, IV
Oh, cosplayers, how I love you!
