Good day one and all.
I have put the pictures from the hallowe'en party up on my flickr page, where you can access them to your heart's content. For those of you not present a little explanation: Chris and Mog decided to have a halowe'en costume party and being the bunch of crazy fools that we are people (mostly) made a lot of effort. The Blue Peter award for best home-made costume goes to Dave for the Frank Sidebottom head; the prize for scariest costume goes to Tom R. for his seriously disturbing home-made mask; the prize for most convincing costume goes to Kent (he's the one dressed as the singer from KISS) since several people didn't recognise him; the prize for most appropriate costume goes to Chris Morris, who came as a mad scientist (actually, it's not clear that it was a costume); and the prize for most disturbing costume has to go to Massimo, who came as Ezio.
The festivities of the night were many and varied. Chris Morris and Tom C. engaged in a spaztastic drinking challenge which involved having cans of Tennants taped to their hands backwards and racing each other to see who could drink them the quickest. I'm pretty sure that the Morris won, as I clearly remember him doing a victory dance. Losing obviously had quite an effect on Tom, as he fell asleep shortly afterward, whereupon he was set upon by a group of fiends with make-up... the results can be seen on the website. Mog was having quite a lot of fun with the make-up, managing to make both Chris Morris and Dave up to look like the pretty little girls that we know they are inside. However, in exchange for doing Dave's make-up Mog had to agree to let Dave do her make-up and so she ended up having "I am a spacko" on her face for the rest of the night. A small price to pay, though, for the joy of seeing Dave with green eyeshadow and bright red lips - it coordinated so well with his beard!
Anyway, a good time appears to have been had by all. Thanks Chris and Mog!

even though the two masks were class, i must give my vote for best costume to the morris - his pictures were tooooooo freaky... i think he's got a future, that morris...
also, brothers and sisters, i must announce the following two events, both tomorrow night:
eusa is wanting to boycott israeli water - i should think its our duty to stop them... but because there is a more interesting event at the same time, you can get away with letting them get away with it, and come with me to a talk on gramsci.
now, for those of you who have witnessed ted honderich and what followed, i must say that the talk is in the same church - and that should be sufficient reason for going... but being gramsci, i would guess, the only italian philosopher of the last century (help me here, edo and massimo... croce, gentile, michealstadter, whom?) then i think that, to show some solidarity to italian philosophy, which is in a bad state, just look at me, we should go to the gramsci talk
May I just complement Lottie on that excellent account of Friday night. I think it captured the tenor of the evening perfectly.
It should also be mentioned that Lottie's hair mysteriously turned completely black and has remained so since.
Well done Chris and Mog on a quality evening. The home-made decorations were particularly impressive.
Aw it sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. I'll put pics up of our own halloween party, but they're not as good. One guy came as a burlesque bunny but wouldn't let me take a photo of him... too bad since he definitely wins the prize for the best costume.
Wish I could have been there!
