With six months having passed since last Halloween and an entire six months left to wait for the next Halloween, some Vancouverites really struggle to endure the half-year out of costume. Luckily, that struggle is broken with a Halfway-To-Halloween Party thrown at the six month mark. Last night was the 2nd Annual Halfway-To-Halloween Party (H2H), so we celebrated in style - blue man style. Neil and I joined a team of four other blue men to rock the stage at H2H with Kris Kross on the decks.

My favourite costume of the night, by far, was the wreck beach couple. If you haven’t heard of Vancouver’s wreck beach, it is officially the unofficial nude beach of Vancouver that is frequented by Vancouver’s healthy population of hippies. Their costumes identified a few odd peculiarities of the wreck beach hippies - the men love to walk around with a shirt and fanny pack, but nothing else. The reason for the fanny pack is obvious, with no pockets to hold their weed, they need something to keep it on them. However, I can’t quite figure out the reason for the shirts.

Following is a group shot before we headed out for the night:

This is what I woke up to the next morning.  This is what happens when I leave him at a party to come home later.  He just woke up, so he’s still a bit dopey looking, but kudos to Neil for letting me post this
