Working the Cat Lady to Victory

Jordan and Candy invited me to join them at a costume party at El Tapatio restaurant last night. I ended up inviting friend Marie, who is the huge Halloween fan. Jordan was adamant that we arrive early in order to be part of the contest.

I broke out my crazy cat lady outfit and Marie wore a Supergirl costume. We showed up around 7:30. Ended up calling the restaurant before we went in to make sure a costume party was occurring. Yes, definitely a party was happening there that night.

We walked into the bar and we were the only ones in costume. We asked the bartender when the party was due to start and she said 9pm. Early is right.

Jordan, in scary clown outfit, Candy, as a pimp, and cat Trista arrived shortly thereafter. We all had dinner and drinks while we waited for the party to start. All of a sudden one of the bartenders made a loud announcement that the bar and restaurant were closing. Immediately. No reason given other than it was just outside of their control.

We were all bummed there was to be no costume contest. Someone mentioned there was a contest at The Evergreen Pub up the road so we trekked our way there.

Definitely a contest going on as there was a variety of superheroes, ghouls, and vampires in the bar. We hung out then went in the back porch area for karaoke  and judging. Jordan even favored us with a lively version of Ghost Riders in the Sky.  With all those tavern regulars in costume, lo and behold this diva won first place! Second place then went to son Jordan!  Woo hoo!!

Got home about 11pm and spent a good 10 minutes combing out my rat's nest of teased and sprayed hair.

Was a fun night and I'm looking forward to donning the cat lady look again for work on the 31st.
