My fav time of year

I love Halloween, it's my favorite holiday. Not sure why, since I don't go Trick or Treating anymore, don't have kids and almost never dress-up unless I have a party to go to. I think the potential for creativity and the ability to be someone else for a night is the best things about the holiday.

I have wonderful childhood memories of Halloween. Bonfires, candy apples, homemade costumes, Trick or Treating with my sister, lugging huge pillowcases full of candy around Greenfield...awwww good times. Greenfielders were always so generous, they would always give out whole bars of candy, I carry on this tradition. So, find my house and get your big azz candy bar. xoxo

Hothouse 2009

Hothouse 2009 was the festive, hipster shindig of the year. Lots to see and take in. The lines were WAY too long for the alcohol (40 mins). I didn't feel so bad about asking for 2 wines when I finally bellied up to the bar. Although I felt much of the night involved waiting in lines (sometimes we waited in lines and weren't even sure what was at the end)it was an experience for the senses. Too bad my senses were totally sober. Watching the dance floor was amusing, lots of people bustin a moby, I even saw the robot..gosh I wish I had video of that one. Oh well, note to self next year, ~~ Enjoy a few drinks before the event~~

What I loved:
~ambiance
~creativity of the event ppl
~the food, once I shoved it in my craw after waiting in line
~the bands and DJ
~the snake

What I loathed:
~no ac in the building
~the lines
~the silent auction (seriously I can paste magazine clippings onto a frame, it's not worth $400..get better artists

Got it homeslices!

Muffaletta!

Steve makes the best Muffaletta sandwich EVER! The Pennsylvania Macaroni Company has some of the best Olive Salad I've had since the Central Grocery New Orleans. Get yourself some..YUM!

Hothouse Nails

Going to Hothouse 2009 the Sprout Fund's Annual Benefit Party on Sat. Needed appropriate nails for the occasion. They look black but they're really a dark gray.
