The Halloween party at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History was incredible. Jack o'lanterns lit the entrance, a band was rocking out, people in costume were dancing amongst the taxidermy, decorated tables were laden with gourmet snacks, the planetarium was showing the classic Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon and, best of all, the dimly lit galleries were open. We partygoers could wander about and explore the exhibits, beer in hand. (I chose a spooky brew, in honor of the holiday.)
The Man with the Yellow Hat (See the monkey?) had an encounter with his old nemesis, the dunkleosteus.
Meanwhile, I was in the mineral hall saying, "Oooh...sparkly!" (the beer was 8% alcohol, okay?)
A little while later, I found my

Glad y'all had fun! Need extra candy??? I've got a bunch, since we had a total of THREE T or T'ers last night! Sigh...

Old NFO - is it chocolate?

It would be impossible to overstate how jealous I am. I would LIVE there.

Breda, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History used to be my very favorite place on the whole, wide world - in 1962.
It looks like a much, much hipper place now than it was then. ;-)
Thanks for posting this.
Wow - looks like a stellar occasion. You all look fantastic! I lurve your wings! Pretty friends, too.
Dear Superior Scribbler: Sorry for the "canned" and unrelated nature of this comment, but I wanted to get to as many of you tonite as possible. One of the things that we at Scholastic Scribe are most proud of is the Silly Sunday Sweepstakes. Several of you are already familiar with the arbitrary and quite inane weekly attempt at humor...for you, and for those of you who have not yet played Sx3, I urge you to drop by Sunday to see what's up. Oh, and congrats on being named a SS. You earned it!
Looks like a fantastic time was had by all! I want to be a saucy pirate wench next year...:)
And I'm really glad your Curious George was stuffed.
Who's the Hawt Chick that stands about 5'2" right next to you? She's hawt!! Oh, did I mention she's...ummm...hawt??? Sssssssssssss...!!
Oh, you're hawt too. No doubt. :)
I love the first picture. The symmetry between you and the little dinosaur is perfect.
Okay, that looks like a Halloween party I could get behind. The best part is that I could dress like I am right now and everyone would think my costume was "Blackwater Contractor". :D
I could dress like I am right now and everyone would think my costume was "girl who just woke up."
(Tam's dressed way tougher than "Blackwater Contractor -- they only wish they were like her).
labrat, I actually thought of you when I wrote that line.
wai - that's my friend Nicole.. You can find more photos of her by clicking her link in my gunchicks list to the right of the page.
That's a lovely fairy setup, Breda. Did you make your own wings?
thank you! I cheated and found the wings on clearance at an after halloween sale!
Breda, you sure are cute!
We are so cute!
