Halloween was nothing short on an adventure this year. It all started on Friday at work when a bunch of us web monkeys took up a collection to be awarded to whomever could eat a package of peeps (you know, those little marshmallow chickens..) in under two minutes. Ah yes, sounds like a simple task - ask Charlie Speight, the sucker who took the challenge. With $16.50 on the table (collected from Jupiter folk), Charlie set forth (as seen here) with the clock ticking down from two. He didn't make it too far... about 30 seconds after this picture was taken, Speight ran into the restroom and sent all those cute little peeps swimming.


After work, Heather, Kelly Ko, Stacey and I met up at Botanica before heading out to Luke's well-advertised Halloween party down near Battery Park. We stopped on the way to get some drinks, noticing this shopping cart full of random bottles of beer. Oh yeah, that's me in my dumb costume (old navy tech vest angel). See, Heather was supposed to be Old Navy Tech Vest Devil (get it? good and evil? "brother brother meet sister sister". anyway..), but she shafted me to be just a plain old boring devil. What-Ev!


The whole merry crew. From left to right, Heather, me, Kelly Ko (yup, that's her), Luke, Stacey, and some guy with a yellow sleve.


More of Charlie Speight - kicking his way into the hearts of the ladies.


Chris Gage (the legend, remember?) made a mask of himself and wore it around all night. Freak.


Somehow the mask turned up taped to my stomach with Michele nursing the cute little Gage. Note the Chris Gage stickers on Michele's arm and my chest.. also note how we aptly scribbled "Dork" on Chris' paper forehead. (oh, by the way, at this point my wings had broken. that headband is part of Luke's Halloween decor)


Speight and Sir Luke. There is far too much chest hair in this picture.


Vipul (chicano gangster) and Kelly Ko.


The donut boy that Stacey adores. How could you not love this kid?


One of my finer pieces of photograph.. I have entitled this one "Sweet Nips".


Another group shot - this one was taken early in the evening. One of the few shots in which you can see all of Stacey's hat.


Do these pictures ever end? Lucas Graves, the man, the mystery, the legend, the slamdancer.


Charlie and Stacey - and me trying to get my head in every picture.


Kelly Ko is scaring me. :)
