Mood:  hungry

Okay some of you have been asking about the Halloween party at Tir Na Nog.

I arrived about 8PM. It was a bitch trying to get in and out of the car with wings on. I was meeting Maria and her husband Todd who were going as and outlet and a plug. When I approached the door I got many compliments on my costume. I paid my $3 and went in. I immediately saw some friends and walked up to them Because I had on a blonde wig no one knew who I was so I got looks at first like, “who the hell is this girl and why is she talking to us.” Then it dawned on them who it was and they all started laughing. Stating that I should go blonde and perhaps wear my costume for the wedding. I looked around and noticed the place was FILLED with Harry Potter characters. These were not store bought costumes either. These looked like movie quality. When Annie approached I told her how create the costumes were and that they put in a lot of effort for Halloween. She informed me that no they just don’t wear these for Halloween, but that there is apparently a Harry Potter meet up group that meets about once a month. There is apparently a Fairy Meet up group as well because later on in the evening I was approached by another fairy and asked if I was “Fairy Folk”. I informed her that no I just do this for Halloween. She gave me her card and said that I should think about joining there group because I made such a great fairy, I am half tempted to join just so I can see what they talk about in their meetings. Safe frolicking perhaps? Or maybe wing maintenance? Proper use of fairy dust? I swear there is a group for everything. Annie informed me that there is even a pen collectors group and we all joked that we should join and shoe up with a Bic. LOL

Anyway…around 9PM they had the costume contest. There were 10 of us on the stage and the audience got to vote for the winners. 1^st place went to a woman dressed as Professor Sprout and 2^nd place went to a woman dressed as Mrs. Weasley. No big surprise considering the number of Harry Potter freaks in the pub. 3^rd place went to yours truly I think just because Annie announced I had just gotten engaged.

What did I win? A plaque, a $25 gift certificate to Tir Na Nog , a $25 gift certificate to Camelot treasures,  and a t-shirt.

After the awards I paid my tab and headed home. For those of you who were not at the party and have not seen the pictures on Myspace…here is my costume.
