I love the Halloweiners' Ball - '02
I want to go back the first Halloweiners' Ball; to when this whole crazy thing started. Some of you may remember that we use to have the Ball at our apartment. The first Ball was actually held at the Rac (3734 N. Racine to you newbie's) when Me, Ryan, Scott, Eric and Matt all lived together.
The date was November 2, 2002. It was after Halloween, probably because we were too lazy to plan ahead but according to the evite the Ball was "after Halloween because we could get the decorations cheap" At the time the Ball was called "The Inaugural 3734 Halloween Ball - brought to you by The Halloweiners". That is quite a long name, no wonder we shortened to the much smoother sounding "Halloweiners' Ball".
The text of the lengthily evite was:
Costumes a must...dress to impress.
It's after Halloween because we could get the decorations cheap, so don't worry about it.
Just in case anyone is wondering who the hell is sending them an invitation to a party this is from Eric ******, Kirk ********, Matt *********, Ryan ******* & Scott *******.
Feel free to bring friends and booze.
Even with that super evite we only had 26 yes responses, but a whole lot more than 26 people showed up that year. The problem is I don't remember a thing about that party and anything I do remember blends into the other ones, so here's where you guys come in. Tell us what you remember about that first year. What did you wear? Who did you come with? What did you do, and what kind of fun did you have? Who did you make out with?

I figured out what I wore that year. Marissa and I did a couple's costume. She was Genie and I was Major Nelson. I also changed into a Michael Jackson costume for part of the night. Those are the perks of having the party at your house - all the costume you want.
I think we dressed the Golden Tee as Pong too. Good times.
I was Kid Rock, and I spilled some weird drink on my wife-beater at the beginning of the night.
I think Mike, Eric, Scott, Chris, and Tevenan all went as the Culture Club (because they really liked them, not to make fun). Seriously.
Ah yes, the good old spousal abuser. The epitome of white trash
I am pretty sure that was the first of many times Ryan has worn leather pants.
Wow, everyone is sure remembering the good times now.
Was this the party where Bitchsauce hooked up with Dorothy on a pile of dirty rags in our laundy room?
I didn't hook up with anyone. I stayed sober and provided safe rides home for all the ladies who attended and didn't even make a move on any of them.

You were about as sober as any other guy in a giant white box who was getting girls to pay him to kiss them.
I also remember that you kicked me when I was pushing you from your blind spot (which was basically anywhere but directly to the front). It's not nice to kick your friends.
Kirk, this was the party where you hit your brother in the balls with your genie bottle, and then you guys had a punching fight while Nick and I stared uncomfortably from the couch.
That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Thanks Katie, I forgot about that. I whacked him good with that thing.
