Halloween 2006

That's right, it was Halloween weekend last weekend. Good times....good times.

Let's see if I can remember the sequence of events...Thursday after class I went out to Bootleggers with some friends (and there may or may not have been a professor that came out with us too). I do believe a good time was had by all...let's see if there are any pics appropriate for this venue:

This picture is many things: One of those things is stolen from facebook (thanks Kim)

Anyway, that is my friend Kim and, you guessed it, me! One of us needs to shave (you get two guesses which one!) I'll give you a hint...it's me. It's cool though, since it was my birthday.

Ok, on to Friday...Friday night I went back to Bootleggers to see The Station play. Jayger played too, but I didn't make it there in time to catch them (sorry guys, next time for sure). The Station was awesome...

Not only was it awesome music, but even the band dressed up.

The place was packed with people, and many of us were out in our costumes. It was a really fun time.

Ok, in the first picture you have Chewbacca...in the second one you have me as a ghostbuster and Mel as a soccer player...

And then there was Saturday...thanks to Bob Sipe (poli. studies professor), some of us were able to go to the Mother Jones Dinner in town. It's a labor dinner, and it was absolutely incredible. The president of the UMWA, Cecil Roberts, spoke. He was a very powerful speaker and he said some things that really got me pumped up. Good food, good music, and good people pretty much sums up the dinner.

After that I went to a Halloween party that my birthday buddy, Kelsey, puts on each year. It was pretty good time. When we got home the next morning I was pleased to catch the House marathon (great show), although I also watched some of the Bears game for a while. That night I came to campus to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show. There was audience participation, of course...fun fun. After a quick stop at the Monster Bash a few of us headed to Cafe Kanichiwa (pretty sure that's misspelled). Richard, a new political studies professor, was playing some free jazz with a group of guys. I didn't know what to expect, but I really enjoyed it. I'm definitely going to try to make it next time.

Well, that's the weekend. I've got to get going. The girls basketball team is playing St. Louis College of Pharmacy, and one of my high school friends is on the opposing team!!! Soooo it should be a good time. Thanks for reading. Catch ya later.
