This is halloween

Pumpkins.
I know very well it's not a good idea not to carve your pumpkin too early but I thought a week in advance was going to be alright. Well, it's not. It took two days for my pumpkin to grow mold and it was quite upsetting. That's not as sad as Ashley's pumpkin though, that was rotten when she cut it open! She chose it for its unique stem and was perfectly fine on the outside. I was kind of jealous of its awesomeness until we saw a gnat fly out of it cause it was slowly dying from the inside out. She ended up sharing a pumpkin with her boyfriend Chris resulting in an adorable tin man. I on the other hand let out my inner anarchist and carved Noam Chomsky into my pumpkin. The pumpkin patch we went to was terrific because it had a corn maze. We went after it was dark so it was actually a little scary. Maybe more worrisome than scary. It definitely had a very Mel Gibson in Signs feeling.

ELLEN.
We got on the Ellen Halloween show and I couldn't be happier. Ashley, Chris, Rechelle and I dressed up and drove to Burbank so we can dance with this awesome woman. It was a long day but I had fun even though we didn't get any free electronics. I got to dance next to Ellen so I can almost die now. I have to wait to see Conan's hair in person to do that. Chris and Ashley were mickey and minnie (aaawe), Rechelle was Andy Warhol (it looked realy good) and I don't know what I was, but I wore and awesome wig. I'm gonna say I was two parts strawberry, one part Judy Jetson. In between commercial breaks they make people dance non stop, somethign I'm kinda use to so I was encouraged by the previously mentioned to participate in a dance contest, so I danced in the aisle and it felt weird... and I didn't win. hA! I like to think the girl her one just had super loud friends because all she did was walk up and down the aisle. I'm not bitter. Wanda Sykes was on the show. I had forgotten how funny she is. You should you tube her on this episode. Don't you tube the magician that was on it though because it was not good and we had to sit through him twice. Ellen is great, everyone should go at some time.

Halloween.
OH my goodness, Halloween at the Blarney Stone. People had been asking us what Ashley and I were going to be for quite some time, but we refused to say. Some people think it's lame to keep it a surprise but this needed to be kept a secret until the moment we walked in the door to get the effect we wanted and DID achieve mind you. We went dressed as Fevercrotch themself. They happened to be dressed as Waynes World but it was awesome nonetheless. The look on ther face when we walked in with our instuments was priceless, they even stopped playing the song they were starting. The rest of the night was a ridiculous amount of fun. I like to keep an assortment of odd things in my car so when our bar tender was sad that she was dressed up with everyone else I brought in my strawberry wig and the jumpsuit I used to wear at Sea world and she was more than happy to sport them all night. One of my favorite halloweens yet. We won the costume contest hands down. We hope we helped them feel liek they've officially arrived as a band. ;)
