Halloween Weekend!
It was Halloween this past weekend, which is normally a holiday I’m mildly interested in. I don’t have kids to take trick-or-treating, and well, putting together a costume is a lot more work than I am capable of doing with my limited set of creative-skills.
Luckily, this year, Kolina took charge and created some awesome, home-made Max Costumes! You can read all about it on her blog post and check out the photos, so I won’t cover those details. Instead, a quick recap of the weekend, Halloween-wise:

So, I dressed up for work on Friday in my Max Costume. It was definitely well-received, with one person even asking me where I bought it. The best part was when Sophia and I were late to call into a meeting with about 20 people. Nobody in the other room was dressed up, so when we showed up on the projector, the conversation immediately stopped and the meeting lead said “Wow, what are you?”
My pictures are here, but here are some of my favorites:

San Francisco:
On Saturday, I headed up to San Francisco with some friends. We first stopped at Selfedge, where Eric and I purchased Imperial Dukes. They are an incredibly tight pair of raw denim I’ll no doubt wearing in over the next few months (while I wait for repairs on my Samurai’s.
We enjoyed a nice meal at Delfina Pizzeria after more than a one hour wait (yes, it was worth it). We then headed to Suede for a Halloween party – I ran into a few folks I knew from Stanford and had a generally good time, despite the loud music and being really hot in my costume. We got several more compliments about our costumes, so that was worth it :)
So Halloween was successful, since Kolina spent so much time putting together such awesome costumes.
Sunday was almost a day of recovery, before Wilmot and I went cycling around the South Bay. More about that later in another blog post.
