Halloween: 2/4

doll, Bard school spirit, Jimi Hendrix, two biker chicks

Thursday I went over to Amanda’s, face paint in hand. We ended up at a party Red Hook- a lot of people milled around and there was a strand of large Christmas lights strewn diagonally across the beer pong table. Overall a fairly low-key event: I remember a unicorn going off on a tirade about how she wants to do a joint major in film studies and French, but requirements something or other.

There were also two "Great Gatsby" parties: one on Thursday and one on Friday - parties thrown by atrociously wealthy kids. Of the first, I head that there was a VIP room guarded by a bouncer, and a bar tender. It was hard to get to and harder to leave, mostly because the house was out in the middle of nowhere, but a lot of people managed. The kid had a taxi busing people back and forth from Tewks, but only for people on a list. (wtf?)
The second was similarly far away. Damon wrote of his night there:

I spent a lot of time wandering between the mansion and the barn, which was some twenty yards out back. In the corner of the barn, near the sound system, was a model Greek column. This provided some amusement. At some point a dog was wandering around alarming three girls who were concerned it was lost. Then the owner came and claimed it, and all was well.
Fortunately, my friend B was there to drive me home. Eating ice cream sandwiches at a gas station, we saw an ambulance heading north.
