Thanks for coming, and thanks for lending a hand in the early hours before the party started.
I think everyone had a great time. It's 3:20, and the last person just left. I'm about to drop dead!
Now THAT was a party!
When I first received Avitable's invitation to his annual Halloween party, I knew I wanted to go... I just didn't know how I was going to work it into my schedule. But where there's a will, there's a way, and I managed to get everything moved around so I could fly down to Orlando for a single day(!) and attend.
Boy was it worth it. Dozens of people showed up, and Adam went all-out... transforming his entire home into a zombie-infested house of horrors. What was remarkable is the sheer amount of detail that went into the planning of it. So many little touches that made the entire experience perfect...
I'm giving all my photos to Avitable so he can post them (it's his party, after all), but thought I'd share some images of your's truly from the event. The costume I made was of "Holovirus-Insane Rimmer" from the brilliant British series Red Dwarf. It's one of my favorite shows ever, and this character was featured in one of my favorite episodes ever. And, as if that wasn't enough, it's got Mr. Flibble, the psychotically evil penguin hand-puppet in it...
The idea was that the geekier people at the party would recognize my character and get a laugh out of it... but even people who had no idea what Red Dwarf was would find it funny as well (but for an entirely different reason). Here's me and Avitable...
And me and Marilyn Monroe Miss Britt...
And me with an anatomically scary Mr. Fab (Mr. Flibble was hypnotized by his piece!)...
A big thanks to Avitable for the invite and for throwing such a fantastic Halloween bash!
And now I really should take a nap before I have to go to the airport in four hours. Later today there's a blogger meet in Seattle.
Hmmmm... looks like I'll be blog-partying from coast to coast today.
OMG, where on earth did you find such an accurate costume? Surely you can't be THAT multi-talented?

Dude! You love Red Dwarf?! That could possibly make you, in my humble opinion, the ideal man. And considering that I'm saying that about a guy in a red check dress with blond pigtails who talks to a psychotic penguin...well, that could explain why I'm still single.
What, you didn't want to go as Ace Rimmer...smoke us a kipper and be back for breakfast?

Great costume and sound like a nice party. Wow, down to Orlando for one day...you world traveler!
Had to laugh at your post about all the things you hate about flying. Bummer it got you in a bad mood. I hate people talking on their cells all the time. Now, people are even talking on them when they are supposed to be working. I'm thinking 'get the heck off the phone and ring up my item'! It's insane.
Hex Vision!!
Red Dwarf is one of my favorite shows ever. A few odd ones at the start but once you going it just gets better and better. I must have watched the whole series dozens of times.
Some of it is some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen. And the novels are fantastic.
Kudos to the excellet costume! Sounds like a great party. :)

Funnily enough we have a channel in the UK called 'Dave', and it is currently showing Red Dwarf on Wednesday nights! How hollogrammatic is that?!

So awesome to have met you. :-)
And seriously, the dedication that went into your costume is still mind blowing. If there had been a costume contest, you would have been the clear winner.

That is pretty freakin' amazing. The costume, the party--everything.
I would have gotten the "H" on the forehead as a giveaway as well, but would not have been able to name that particular episode!
