Dublin, Ireland: Halloween!

Well, it's not exactly Halloween yet, but last night was the Halloween ball at school. It was actually a lot of fun, and amusing to see that the girls were actually wearing more clothes for Halloween than what they usually wear out to the clubs! Well, most girls for that matter.

The ball began at the DCU Hub, where we were supposed to wait to get on buses to take us all to the Mystery location. Everything was very hush, hush. Apparently, these mystery bus balls are very popular in Ireland and most Universities have one at least once a year. So, anyway we all get wristbands which get us on the buses, but the only problem was that there was not enough buses. So, somehow Ali coerced one of the ladies who worked for the Student Union to tell us where we were going. Finally, location unmasked eight of us load into a minivan cab and drive for over a half hour to the middle of no where and then this venue just appears. It was a little strange, but fun. Inside the venue there were four different areas: Elm Street, Dracula's Sanctuary, The Coven and Jason's Refuge. The venue wasn't really decorated, but it was fun none the less. People here love to dance. It is pretty funny.

The best costume I saw all night was a kid who dressed up as a bedside table and even had a lamp shade on his head. There was also a rubix cube and of course about a million bunnies, cats, devils, pretty much just throw the word "sexy" in front of anything and people were wearing it. My group was a bit more refined. Emphasis on "a bit." Ali and I were both 80's. We let the Irish girls do our hair and makeup. It was fantastic. I honestly did not even recognize myself. There were also the Spice Girls and David Beckham, a witch, a gangster, and of course the Ninja.

Just to show how ridiculous I looked:
