halloween-party-2003Since Halloween is this week I felt that it would only be fitting to find a Halloween themed TBT photo (Sam, I hope you don’t mind that I swiped this from your Facebook page). I’ll admit that I’m not really into Halloween but when  you have friends like the ones in the picture above, you have no other option but to indulge in the festivities. If memory serves right I was supposed to be a pimp and I was accompanied by my friends Kristin and Beth (not my wife) as my “bitches”.

I think this was also the party where Hoody (the “body builder” in the picture) had some kind of hot apple cider punch … that packed an extra “punch”. I think there was a rather large card/drinking game going on as well. It might have been Asshole. I’ll be honest, I don’t know if my memory of the party is fuzzy because it was 11 years ago or because I may have had too much of that hot apple cider punch (I think it had Goldschläger in it).

In fact I may be slightly inebriated in that picture. You can clearly tell all of us were having a good time, which was always the case when you went to a party thrown by Hoody & Co.

TBT is one of those crazy Facebook trends. It stands for “ThrowBack Thursday” and often times people post pictures. I know the old adage “A picture is worth 1,000 words” but most of the time the pictures I want to post have a great story behind them. In my traditional nerdy fashion, instead of just a picture I want to provide a blog post for my TBT moments to share those great stories. I will not share stories in which the context will embarrass or incriminate myself or my friends and family.
