So, Santa brought me a new scanner for Christmas so I finally had the means to put the pics from Big Pimpin 3 - Halloween Blowout online.

In case you weren't in attendance, Big Pimpin 3 was our end of summer party, Halloween party and moving-out-of-apt-4W party all rolled into one. Anyway...


First of all, special thanks to Daily Candy for donating what seemed like 10 lbs. of candy for the Halloween cause. The candy is tastefully displayed in the same bowl that Heather.D puked in on her 28th birthday. :)


Me, a handful of (ex)Jups, some cocktails and a little Mike Ferrari hanging out in my room. Left to right, Mike.F (dressed as Princess Leia in a D.Crowley snowboard outfit), Justin.F as "generic Jupiter analyst" (perhaps the second best costume... see below), me in my go-to Pokemon suit, Stacey as, um, something with a wig, and Dannielle (in the front) as something else with a wig.


Hey, I just wear the costume. (Please see Halloween 2000, "Pokemon Loves Gin" for further information).


Me and Ferrari. BFF. Please note the following: (a) $19.00 Princess Leia wig, (b) wet spot from feeding Pokemon beers, (c) double fisting, (d) Mike.d reacharound (it is inescapable AND contagious!)


If the internet were all it was cracked up to be, Notorious BIG's "Player's Anthem" would cue up as you scroll down past this photo.


Shall we get into the Best Costume section? Here's Andy Brennan with the ever-so-classy, yet oh-so-predictable Lou Gerhig getup. The "Hello my name is - Available" tag only adds to this kid's mystique.


Fourth place goes to Mr. and Mrs. Michael Wells as the happiest newlywed pumpkins ever to attend a Big Pimpin(tm) party.


We said second went to Justin's "generic Jupiter analyst" so we'll give third to Amanda's (ex)boyfriend(?) Todd with the all-decked-out Kiss uniform.


And, of course, it would be a shame not to give the gold medal to Ms. Alison Daly. Rumor has it <start singing here> her love don't cost a thing </end> which is great news considering I make $6.50 an hour working as a snowboard instructor.

Note: The following pics were taken by none other than Mr. Kevin Beard.


Big Pimpin 3 was, as Mike.d would say, "off the horn". Lots of kids, lots of gin.


The only pic I've seen so far that captures my oh-so-creative Ja Rule costume. You see, I started out the night as Ja Rule (and Heather.D was my J.Lo) but quickly tired of my lackluster getup and thus ended the night as Pokemon.


Me and Kevin "Brawny" Beard. Man, I was wasted.


Doug Jaeger as sockman, Audra as, well, what?


Kevin Beard, Scott Beard (yes, twin brothers) and Mark McGwire.


Jon Miller giving out autographs to the ladies.


Jaeger and his lady friend. Is she an elf? What's going on around here?
