Halloween '99
Versus


The Costume:

After much debate, the choice to dress as Cartman from South Park was made. The 'helmet' took around 4 hours to contruct. Its frame was molded from cardboard and its surface decorated with various coloured papers found posted throughout the I-house. Special thanks goes out to Rick Hill (owner of the best VDL webpage) for spending the afternoon of the 31st travelling around Berkeley in search of second-hand XXXL plain red sweaters. Thanks also goes to GoodWill for having the above said sweaters.

The I-house Party:

The initial hours of the scary evening were spent admiring the various costumes thought up by other tenants of the International House. Hats off to Tina's witch, Mary's raspberry, Weijean's ladybug, and Hans' flasher outfits, but Derek's award for Best Costume goes to Israel and his handcrafted Matador costume. Very impressive!! Many pictures were taken (hopefully to appear sometime on this page), before the crowds converged on the well-decorated auditorium for the I-house halloween party. Unfortunately, the music was lacked 'dancibility' and drinks were hard to find. Luckily, limo-driver Rick was awaiting at the front steps of I-house with the Ford Escort GT to wisk us away to the Convent.......

The Convent Party:

The next stop for the evening was at the Co-op commonly known as the Convent. Hosted by labmate John Absmeier, the beer and food were plentiful and solid music blasted from the converted convent chapel. Impressive costumes appeared on the bodies of Rick Hill (Dilbert), Mareike Klassen (gipsy), and Lee and Noelle (zombies). I apologize if I have forgotten others......

Back to the I-house Party:

The final stop was back to the I-house where Mareike, Will, Santosh, and I tried to keep the party going. But, alas, the friendly UCB police were closing the doors as we arrived and people retired for the night.

Now what you all wanted to see.....The Cartman Dance!

Cheesy-Poofin' the night away
