Christie’s halloween party

After months and months of waiting and preparation, Christie’s halloween party was last night. I ended up going as a vampire (you know how vampires look like normal people? they don’t go around wearing a cape… exactly!)

Eva was supergirl dressed as a pirate.

Here I am with Kat (the sweatpants fairy), Eva, Brett (Vanilla T) and Amber (Perez Hilton).

This guy was dressed as a sex machine.

Death was lurking around all night.

Here I am with our fabulous hostess, Pirate Christie!

Finally, I followed the instructions given in the invite and brought some donations for the Food Bank. No one else took it seriously, so no one brought anything. Now I provided Christie et al with lunch!

I won a free party!

Background: A few weeks ago I went for brunch to The Duke of Richmond, right by City Hall, on 20 Queen St. W. There was a bowl where you could place your business card for a draw. At the end of July I had an email from the Duke of Richmond telling me that I had won the draw. I was entitled to get a free party. The party took place last night.

All the usual suspects were there, and of course, making hand gestures.

The “free” party consisted of a reservation for 20 people, and snacks for such 20 people. Free chips and free salsa, free hummus with free pita, free artichoke spinach dip with free garlic bread, free fish bites (it’s like the fish on fish and chips, just smaller and without the chips).

Sadly, the beer was not included in the free party. Also, I thought that the free food was going to leave people hungry and unsatisfied, no problem, people would be able to order from the menu.
Surprisingly enough, the free snacks were enough for everyone, so there was no need to order more food.

Moses was there too, and he thoroughly enjoyed his time with the Ice Queen.

As usual, Accordion Guy brought his accordion and played for everyone: Rio, by Duran Duran.

I even gave a speech thanking everyone for attending my free party and advicing about my next party, for my birthday, in November. The theme is going to be 80s Prom and I am giving enough notice to everyone so that outfits and music can be prepared. There’s even enough time to start growing mullets!

Overall everyone had a really good time. Thanks, Duke of Richmond!

We had so much fun today at the Bedford Academy.
I ordered a veggie cheeseless pizza that was perfect for my diet restrictions. Connie had the curry.

The big exciting piece of news is that on Tuesdays, you can get a bucket of Amsterdam Blonde for $15.

It is kind of weird that they bring you only 5 beers, it is not a very round number. Oh well, we drank it anyway, you don’t have to tell us twice!
Clara looked beautiful with her new hairdo.

And remember this picture?
It was taken about two years ago I guess.
Well, we have a follow-up. Yes, we wear our sunglasses at night! (OK, it wasn’t the night yet, but you know what I mean)
