Last night was the 2nd incarnation of “Blast to the Past”. It was great to see everybody dress up and have fun. Special thanks to Angel for coordinating and her roommates (Drea, Erin, Felise and Amanda) for hosting this event.

The day started with thinking of what to wear. I initially picked Indiana Jones, sort of a blast to the past figure. Then as the day progressed, I changed to an 80s stock broker. Tim and I both went to the local Goodwill store and shopped. Overall, my outfit was less than 10 dollars… so I was happy. Then an unforseen event; my stock broker pants at home did not fit me anymore, so I resorted to some other pants, which did not have the buttons that supported my suspenders… so I had to tie the ends to my pants. I got a few laughs (thanks to Ryan for bringing my self-esteem down, I could always count on you). Needless to say, I had to improvise and decided the stock broker look was out. I decided on random 40s news reporter (couldn’t have guess with the digital camera around my neck, thus the improvised “Press Pass” stapled to my shirt).

As for the pictures, I took about 60. I was a little disappointed to find that about half of them were pretty much not useable. I posted the good ones on Facebook…

Overall, the party was awesome and I had a very good time.

Until next time…
