All Hallows Eve

Halloween this year was, once again, a total blast. I guess my costume could best be described as "chronic masturbator." I was wearing glasses, had hairy palms, stuffed my right arm so it was twice the size of my left, and I picked up a nudie mag when we got downtown. But, the real gem was the erection-on-command apparatus in my pants. It took me a couple prototypes before I had something put together that worked flawlessly, but it was well worth it. (Pic)

A small group met up at my place beforehand for a little pre-partying and then we headed off to downtown. Our first stop was the Hustler store so that I could pick up my magazine prop. Naturally, I walked around the store in various states of arousal to see what kind of reactions I could garner. To say I was well received there would truly be an understatement, although, you'd think in a store like that, they'd be used to it by now. When we left the store, we started walking towards the clubs. On the way, we passed by a bunch of people out dining. Not wanting to pass up such golden opportunities, I made sure to stand as close as possible to their tables, whip out my magazine and slowly pitch a tent in my pants. When people saw what was going on, their reactions were priceless. Women were horrified, men practically choked on their dinners and Al was busting a gut while trying to capture the moment on camera. But, if I thought that brought good times, it was only prelude to the reaction in the club.

The first place we tried to go was Abergine. However, the line was way too long and not moving, so we opted to walk back up the street to Rock Bottom. There wasn't much of a line, so we pretty much walked right in. After a couple more drinks, it was time to hit the dance floor. There was a pretty good sized crowd in the club, but there was also a fair amount of free space, which was definitely a good thing for me, because it allowed me a better opportunity to present my costume to people. I don't know what it says about the women downtown, but as soon as they saw what was going on in my pants, they were all too eager to come over and introduce themselves.

Around midnight, I found myself up on stage with about ten other people for the costume contest. When it was my turn to strut across the stage, I made sure to play things up quite a bit. When I returned to the line up, the girl on my right said, "Travis?" I looked over, and it took me a second to realize who she was; turned out to be one of the people that were on my bowling team a couple seasons ago. I didn't pay attention to the rest of the contest, because I was trying to catch up with her (neither of us was going to win anyway). After the contest, we stuck around the club until the bar closed.

Leaving the club, Bill and I got separated from the rest of the group. In between walking back to the car and Bill harassing a couple girls dressed up as condiments, I got a call on my cell phone from some other people that we were supposed to meet up with that night. They just happened to be driving down the block that we were walking on at that moment, so I flagged them down and Bill and I jumped in the car. We drove about 2 blocks before Bill decided that he'd had enough and just opened the door, got out of the car and announced that he was going to walk home. I think we were all too shocked to stop him and before we knew it, he'd disappeared amongst the crowds. I ended up hanging out with the group for the rest of the night. We went to a random party in someone's apartment downtown. The party seemed to be pretty good, but I wouldn't really know since we spent the entire time we were there in line for the bathroom. After the party, I was dropped off back at my place, but I had to leave again to go pick up Eric from Al's place. Seems that Eric left his keys in my house and had no way of retrieving them, so he had to go home with Al. This kind of summed up the theme for the night. Everyone kept getting displaced from the group, people couldn't find each other, lots of miscommunication, etc.

All in all, though, it was another excellent Halloween!
