Mini-Post
Happy Halloween!
We went out on Saturday for a short but sweet time - you should visit Anne Marie for the extended version (someone stayed out just a *little* bit later than we did. Har.) But here are some pictures:
It's the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and his friend, Eve.
The Pants thought it was very entertaining to declare things good or evil throughout the night. (Example: "I declare this parking space to be GOOD.")
Eve and a fancy lady being attacked by a spider.
There were lots of good costumes out there, although a lot of folks were not in costume, which makes me think that they are purists who were waiting for the REAL Halloween - tonight. This is good for me because my band is playing a show tonight, and we want the crowd to be costumed and ready to shake their pants.
The show is the annual Boo-butante Halloween Party which means a drag show and a costume contest in addition to the bands. I don't think we will go on until after midnight and I am a tired, tired schmoo. But, I will be heading to bed for a disco nap very shortly, and then it's caffeine and Taco Stand for energy. I will bring the boom. I must.
On the knitting front, here are some socks I've been knitting. Jaywalker pattern, Lorna's Laces. I HEART this pattern.
soft, pretty socks.
Okay. Time to nap. There will be more Halloween pictures and stories this week, I'm sure.
[edited to add: if you don't mind, will you click on my Google ads today? sorry for the shameless begging but I'm close to actually getting paid from the ads, and Jacob won't get a birthday present otherwise. JUST KIDDING. ha.]

The costumes are awesome and that Lorna's laces is fantastic. You're pushing me toward a purchase! How's your spinning going?

Fabulous costume - 'course as you were the one eatin' the fruit YOU get to say what's good and evil - and Pants is definitely GOOD!! Love the sock pattern and yarn - such a pretty colorway. i just got some sock yarn and was going to do another pair of plain socks (which still impress me - the fact that I can MAKE A PAIR OF SOCKS!!!) but I think I'll try this one - thanks for sharing. Hope your band blew everyone away as I'm sure they did - did you wear your Eve costume????

Great costumes!
And Taco Stand is always good for post-disco nap energy. Especially the cheese dip. Yum. God, I miss it.

I'm definately going to knit the proper Jaywalker pattern socks next. They are so pretty.
And as for Halloween...You guys were awesome. Especially the styrofoam apple with the bites out of it. I declare that as good.
You leaving me at the mercy of that stalker...that was EVIL. Ha!
I'm already excited about next Halloween!!!

Your costumes are great! I feel like I totally missed out on halloween this year. :-(
I have that Jaywalker pattern hanging on my corkboard right now - it's up next. :-) I'm glad to hear it's a good one...

Hehe...love the Adam and Eve costumes, and the shot of Adam taking a swig o' beer is priceless.

That hot little shrug you're rocking in the pics on AM's site?? Do tell details - did you knit that yourself?

Ok, seriously, how gorgeous are you and AM in that picture?! Hot damn.
And love the socks. The colors look great to me, even if they may not be true to life.
