Since it has been a while since I've been a judge at the Blades and Booze party I figured this year for my post-party entry I'd give my own slate of somewhat non-conventional awards:
1) Most Costumes that are essentially a T-shirt: I'm not going to name names, but I think the evidence speaks for itself...
2) Most Innovative Costume not Present: Jaime R. apparently went as Admiral Spaceship from the SNL short Laser Cats. He didn't actually attend the party this year, instead favoring something closer to his neck of the woods in Seattle. Regardless, until actual pictorial evidence of his costume surfaces, we'll have to go with this artist's rendition.
3) Most Self-Deprecating Costumer: Rob S. did go as a Flower this year...yes, a flower. A bit of an inside joke, but the gist of it is that Rob semi-jokingly suggested going as a flower a few years ago. I and a few other friends of the male race thankfully stopped him that year. It has become quite of a joke, but I still can't believe Rob actually did it.
4) Most Costumes Imitated at a B&B Party: Not to toot my own horn here, but not only have I had a cat named after me, I've now had two people go as previous costumes I've worn. Can you tell the differences...
We caught up with old friends, we drank a lot, and we stayed up super late despite not having that extra hour to fall back -- all part of the recipe for a successful B&B party!
