Harvest Ball
Well this is a little late for Halloween, but never mind. Here are some photo links for the Harvest Ball, yay! First is a picture of we three English girls altogether. Charlotte is dressed as a cheesy tourist, Alice as a sexy Flamenco dancer, and I am dressed as some kind of English stereotype (I started with the pocketwatch concept and worked from there, whilst cannily reusing items from Alice T's birthday party last year).
The second is a group photo of everyone hanging about in MacNaughton before the ball. I look like a lone alcohol drinking alcoholic, what with holding a beer photo-central, but this is not the case. I'd tell you who everyone is, but that would be tedious and you don't know them, do you?
Third, we have Vasiliy being a Reed student and Jennifer as threatening cowgirl. I think Vas had a T-shirt which had "I am a Reed student" written on it or something. Reminds me of that Halloween ep of Buffy where Oz went as God, with a little name sticker. Not that I am suggesting Reed=God (we're all atheists here)...
Girl as piece of pie. I can't remember her name, but I thought this was representative of the inventiveness and wackiness of the Reed Halloween costumes.
Charlotte as grinning tourist, with Erin as priest. He got a Bible out of the library and kept waving it at people, it was really funny. Erin, (I don't know why he's called Erin rather than Aaron by the way, but they sound the same over here anyway), is sarcastic and laconic with this slow deep voice expressing quiet amusement and slight contempt. He's awesome! And proves that they do make sarcastic Americans.
Nick as a penguin, Mullet Guy as a more 70s version of Mullet Guy. Yes, that is his real hairdo.
Josh as 70s porn director looking lascivious, Charlotte the tourist looking like she'd rather wander off and eat some candy corn. I just think this is a really funny photo.
And in my final photo, we have Pavel as one of the Teletubbies (he has a red thingy on his head and a hatch on his stomach, but he mostly just looked like the devil. He has a devilish laugh too. Ha, and the next day he had a small patch of red paint on his back that he couldn't reach to get off.) Also Jessica as a dominatrix, and Alice again as a flamenco type, they both looked really good.
So yes, that was Harvest Ball, and some of the fine people I hang out with. It was a great time, and proves that the Halloween experience is really well done over here. I think I'd like to spend Halloween in the States every year.

No photos of the wandering semi-colon costume then?
woo, i'm writing this from work and it's all in FRENCH! seriously, look: "Vous pouvez utiliser certaines balises HTML, telles que..."
Halloween , like most things in Britain, is done half-arsed, pathetically, and like One Giant Compromise. ho-hum.
I'm so glad I had a good American Halloween experience. I was feeling a lot of pressure to make it good. What did I do last year? I dressed up as a hedge and went down the road to a party. That was ok I suppose.
Sorry I didn't get a photo of the semicolon man. Just like all punctuation, he was fleeting.
Yeh I've definitely met my share of hilariously witty ,sarcastic americans too.
What great costumes you all had.
surprise, you with beer in hand.
You look great, fyi.
Aaaaah cheesy tourist, fantastic.
