Halloween Re-cap
11/08/07 - Albuquerque, NM Almost two weeks after the party, we finally get to posting photos
As pathetic as we've been keeping our website updated, we can't possibly allow ourselves to dress up for Halloween without putting some photos on the internet. Our friends Erica and Eric go to the same Halloween party every year, and we were lucky enough to score an invite as friends of friends. So this guy owns a rug shop stocked with tons of extremely expensive Persian and Oriental rugs. And he apparently really enjoys Halloween, because he throws a party in his store every year. Everybody got really decked out, there were some impressive costumes. The majority of the ladies, of course, were dressed as the slutty "insert costume idea here". We took a different tack. We went all Brokeback Mountain over here, as Caroline did her best Ennis Del Mar, while Scott put his best Jack Twist forward. Erica and Eric went all Asian on us, duding up in a highly impressive geisha costume and ninja suit. While dressing up like cowboys seems like it would be a relative breeze when you live in New Mexico, it wasn't as easy as we expected. Sure, you can find cowboy hats and boots everywhere, but they mean it here when it comes to 'western wear'. So if you want to spend $150 on a hat, and $300 on boots, cowboying up is not too difficult. But these penny pinching gay cowboys weren't about to make that kind of investment. Thankfully, Buffalo Exchange had some inexpensive boots for us, and we were able to find some somewhat reasonable hats... some signs on our backs and nametags and we were good to go. A fun Halloween, time to start thinking of costume ideas for next year.

Those boots are total geisha magnets Jack says, see you next Halloween (when he's not saying "I wish I knew how to quit you!" repeatedly, the only line he knows from Brokeback Mountain)
