Monster Mash at the Opel Mansion

We had us some serious fun last night at the at the Opel Mansion.

The place was amazingly decked out, as though it was ready for a photo shoot for a magazine spread:

They served every treat you can imagine:

Mark and I were very happy hippies:

...because we were drinking the best spiced wine we have ever had, Witch's Brew, brought all the way from Michigan by Beth and Susan's parents, Ed and Corinne, I mean Indiana and Minnie Pearl:

There were all kinds of peeps from CK Media,  including Brandy & Dave who are upset about the falling dollar and rising inflation:

Kelly the flapper girl:

Stace, the vampire:

Elphaba, I mean Jennafer:

And wild Marge Simpson AKA Megan:

We had fun dancing to Susan's best Halloween mix evah:

 and I won a prize for looking the least like myself:

It was a total and complete riot! Thanks to two of the best hosti I know for one hauntingly hallowed howl of an evening, Little Beth Riding Hood:

And Hester Susan:

Ladies, we'll be talking about this party for ages!

(And thanks also to Susan for letting me borrow so many of her festive photos!)

Looks like a blast! Jack was a hippie last year - he would fit in perfectly with you and Mark, I think they had the same hair :)
