Well, here is Cameron, Matt, Leslie and I out Saturday night at the roller derby competition with the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls. It was a fun night, but I pooped out around 10:00 since I had been a fortune teller’s man servant at the Attic Bookstore’s Halloween party entertaining kids and adults. Plus I’m ten years older than all those pictured with me. Oy! 

We did enter the costume competition and ended up in the final five, but the crowd didn’t know who the hell we were supposed to be. The cool thing was the people running the bout knew exactly who were dressed up as and that’s how we came to be in the Top 5.  If you look on Matt and my arms, you’ll see actual two-way wrist communicators that worked!

It was worth the hassle and money putting the costume together.  What you don’t see is custom blue Converse low tops on my feet plus that neckerchief was a bitch to track down. Yes, I lightened my hair. It had to be cartoon yellow!

Unfamiliar with The Venture Bros? Shame on you! The show is expertly written and downright hilarious at times. Check out the official site on [adult swim]. Click the characters button and you can see who were are dressed up as. Season One is out on DVD which you can purchase and get from Netflix. Hmm, it seems the entire second season is now on iTunes.  Who’dah thunk?

    I need to familiarise myself with this adult swim thing. America seems to love it.

    You guys looked FANTASTIC!!! It looks like it was a ton of fun :) To make you feel better….I pretty much turned into a pumpkin at 12:30 the night of the ball. My friends ended up staying for the breakfast and didn’t get home till 4 or 5 in the morning. I was asleep for hours by then :)

    HC: thanks!

    Howard: You are MORE than 10 years older than me dear. But if it makes you feel better I always forget that ;)

    I can’t wait for season 2 on dvd!

  7. Howard Says:

    Does that mean you think I act like a child????

    Okay, I can live with that.

  8. hubs Says:

    i was thinking the same thing Kav.

    looks like you had a blast.

  9. Howard Says:

    I’m pretty sure that more compliments than Leslie gets on her own blog at this point. :)

  10. leslie Says:

    Thats cause my blog is about my brilliance & wit and not my tits. Brilliance & wit intimidate men and therefore they shun my blog.

  11. Howard Says:

    Huh-huh, you said tits.
