Also I got busted taking my first sip out of my flask and a cop poured the whole thing out. Then when I mentioned it was Malort, he said "aw you should have told me that, i would have let you keep it!"

So when we learned the party was off I decided to head home, and was riding down the street alone when I ran into my friend (also in costume, she was at CM too) and a couple of her friends heading into Big Star. So we got a table, drank margaritas and ate tacos. Oh, and met a TV actor (I had to look this up) Jared Padalecki from various WB/CW tv shows. He came up to us, four people dressed in costume at the end of October, and asked "what's the occasion?" We kind of gave him a durrrr look and said "Uh, Halloween?"

It took us a bit to figure out who he was since none of us watch much in the way of TV but we did get it eventually. We asked him for a picture because we thought it would be funny with us in costume, but his bodyguard said no. Then he winked at me (HA!) and then they went across the street and skipped the line for a swanky cocktail bar (Violet Hour).

Interesting night. Tonight, two more Halloween parties. I'm really getting good mileage out of my costume.
