Boo!

(I removed the pictures and put them on my blog, as I think they were slowing the page down too much... we'll see :P)

The students on Condo Row put on their own parade this past weekend!  I took pictures on my phone, but I can't find the connector :(  However, short description:  THEY HAD A FLOAT!!!  The end.  (Not really.)  But I was impressed with the fact they actually found one (and the giant wooden contraption has just been sitting on the street since).  There were tons of costumed people on top of said float that chucked Twinkies at us cheering masses.  In addition to the pastry hauling celebrators, there was a guy playing bagpipes, Pacman (chased by ghosts, of course), Michael Jackson, a parade queen on top of a scootered couch, lots of costumed ninjas fighting in the middle of the street, scooters, motorcycles, etc.  They basically went around the block about 5 times to loud music and our cheers, then raffled off pineapples, and started a dance party in the middle of the street.  Oh, did I mention this was all at noon on Saturday?  It was pretty awesome.

Speaking of Halloween:

Friday night- I hung out with good ol' Connecticutians.  Us girls dressed up as single ladies and went dancing.  At one point, the DJ (who we knew) kicked everyone else off the mini-stages near his table so we could get up and dance to our song :)

Saturday night- My roommates and I were CLUE characters!!!!

In order, here are my roommates (hometowns)/ their characters: Annie Anderson (Monticello, Utah)/ Colonel Mustard; Me (Cromwell, CT)/ Miss Scarlet; Rachel Longhurst (Danville, California)/Mrs. Peacock; Jamie Wheeler (Bountiful, Utah)/Mr(s). Green; Becca Adamson (Pasco, Washington)/Mrs. White; Olivia Christensen (Royal City, Washington)/Professor Plum.  (Olivia is my room-roommate.)  We all wore necklaces with the weapon pieces tied to them.  Lightweight AND fashionable!  :)

We attempted to go trick-or-treating.  Becca, Rachel, and Annie brought us to their old Bishop's neighborhood, which happens to be gated.  We actually got in, but we only got 3 (king-sized!) candy bars because we went too late.  But then we went to the WLC dance (got lots of candy from there!), a dance at a blue house (it was PACKED-- I'm pretty impressed I didn't outright fall over in my heels), and rounded out the night watching A Nightmare Before Christmas at home sweet home.

How did everyone else spend their Halloween?
