Happy Halloween

We decided to go all out for Halloween this year-we hadn't dressed up together yet, and Jim got a brilliant idea for this year. We love the Tintin comics and the animated series, and Snowy has been our faithful companion for a year and a half. We got most of our costumes from thrift stores or our own stockpiles, and it cost about $50 (mostly my shoes.) I think we pulled it off quite well!

Here are some pictures for reference:

We had a good time dressing up, but we didn't get to see too much of the parade. We ended up hanging out around astor place/union square from about 3pm to 3am. We met up with Olya (Jim's cousin) and then had an interesting conversation with an 18 year old kid in Union Square-rather intellectual. Then, because of Daylight Savings Time, we missed the 1:19 train about 3 times. I think they just cancelled it to avoid confusion. Penn Station was filled with costumed, tired, drunk people. It was very fun for people watching. Jim even ran into an old friend from College (dressed as Aladdin), and I got a hug from someone who used to love Tintin. It was a pretty good Halloween.
