Adventures in Rainy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!!! Yesterday night was a blast. Some friends and I decided to dress up as characters from Alice in Wonderland. I was the white rabbit.









Ishie was Alice.












Daniel was the Mad Hatter.
Matt was the Catepillar.

Chelsea was the Queen of Hearts.









We were joined by a bunch of other "characters" in what was our first Halloween in NYC!!!


* There are a few more pics of people I don't have yet!!

We all headed out to the NYC parade thinking how fun it would be to walk in our costumes and also to see everyone else dressed up. Unfortunately....it started to pour. Being wet, cold, and needing some adult beverages plus a bathroom stop, we all decided to head back to Brooklyn. Only to find out that the train we took to Manhatten was not returning back to Brooklyn (crappy MTA and their construction). Our attempts at hailing 3 taxi's also failed miserably. So, we ran through the rain to city hall to board another subway and finally made it back to Brooklyn Heights where we ate some yummy backed ziti and pumpkin pies courtesy of Chelsea!! Then the few remaining brave ones headed out for a drink at a local bar.

Overall it was an adventurous night. At least I can say that I was at the Halloween parade in NYC, standing in line for 45 minutes waiting to march, only to be spoiled by rain!!! Typical NYC...you always have in mind what may happen, but it always turns into something else!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!!! Take care.
