Bill & Ted's Halloween Adventure

Everyone's been asking for the photos, so here you go: the photostream of Bill, Ted, the Princesses, and even a last-minute addition, Rufus. Note that Bill's hair was supposed to be blond but instead turned out gray. This was perfect, since we used it to spraypaint Rufus' hair instead. Excellent!

That's my living room for those who haven't seen it.

I think they look remarkably like Bill and Ted. Although our princess dresses were nothing like the movie, when we were all together it was marvelous. In fact, at the fourth party we attended over the weekend, someone told us we were the best costumes he'd seen. While I wouldn't go so far as to say that (certainly not after seeing the jellyfish costume at the parade last night), I enjoyed being part of an ensemble. I remain in awe of how far the guys took it, from Rory wearing friendship bracelets to Rob making an iron-on replica of Ted's Van Halen t-shirt. If I were them, I'd be Bill & Ted for every Halloween in perpetuity.

As for me, I was Elizabeth Bennett from Pride & Prejudice last year, and Princess Elizabeth from Bill & Ted this year. Any guesses to who I'm thinking of being next Halloween? I even have a friend (coincidentally named Elizabeth) who loves sewing period costumes. If only that jellyfish costume wasn't so cool...

Andy & I say farewell to Halloween at the parade, which you can see in my friend's video.
