vovat | A Hoboken Halloween (Reply)

bethje and I spent most of this weekend in and around Hoboken with

therealtavie and Gina. On Friday night, we ate at an Italian place, and then went to see Paranormal Activity at the movies with Stephanie. The best way I can describe the film is to compare it to one of those things on the Internet where nothing happens for a minute or so, and then something jumps out and scares the crap out of you. This was largely the same idea, only expanded into a full-length movie.

On Saturday, we had a meal at Jekyll & Hyde, a themed restaurant in Manhattan. Our table was on the third floor, which is the Laboratory, full of heads in jars and such. It was pretty expensive (and they only accept cash and, for some reason, American Express cards), but definitely a fun place to eat, what with the decorations and floor shows. And yeah, the food was also quite good. I had spaghetti with shrimp, and we shared a spinach and cheese dip appetizer. At night, Beth and I went with Tavie to her co-worker Staci's Halloween party in Jersey City. Beth and I didn't have costumes prepared, but Gina and Tavie managed to scrounge up some items, and I went as a fairy and Beth as a witch. Tavie was the weird hippie Superman Jesus from Godspell. I'm not much of a party person, but it was pretty fun, and Staci showed us some of what she'd learned in her pole-dancing class. (Yes, there apparently are such things.) Later that night, Beth, Tavie, and I watched The Worst Witch (the one from 1986 with Fairuza Balk and Tim Curry, not the later TV show). And today we returned home, so there isn't much else to tell. Oh, except that Tavie and Gina's cat Drusilla has somewhat warmed up to me, although she probably won't remember me next time I visit. You can see my pictures here.
