Miscellaneous Halloween thread

Well, though Isaac keeps saying it ... Val was not the host. She usually is the hostess of this party ... but was not this year. She took a well-deserved break.


That said ... the party is at her parent's house ... and she has certain say-so about things. Most years that's "no outside people." This year we persuaded her the party had to be bigger and got her ok to invite a few non-regulars.


Then she left the country - - and we did LOTS of things that would not have been ok with her, but were totally cool with her parents.



Still - - though Autumn and I were completely in charge of this year's party, we made a conscious decision to not have more than a hundred people. I hope that's ok with everyone. And so the guest list was limited.


I just don't want to foist that decision on Val and deflect from me when it's not true.






(And there's nothing better that spotty cell service when you're working desperately around the clock to put together an event of this scale. No interruptions or flash pictures, pleease.)
