This weekend I attended two halloween parties and had a great time. The first was hosted at a gigantic home in Belle Meade and there had to be 200 people there by midnight. I went early to this party and left around 10pm to go to the other party, knowing I would want to return. Anyway, NiT has a link to some pictures. Alas, I am not in any of them, but they do capture some of the controlled craziness that ensued. I actually only knew the host and one other party guest, so I walked around the house countless times looking at costumes and made friendly conversation with some other guests. Open bar + yummy food + lots o people = good times!!

The second party was hosted by one of my Actor’s Bridge friends, Pru, and it was great to see all my theatre buds in their goulish getups. I opted for a nondescript costume combination of a black satin dress, some black wings, and a black halo. I was hence referred to as a “dark angel”. Worked for me.

Last night, although it wasn’t a halloween bash, I participated in a work function at 100 oaks mall. Vanderbilt is going to be moving some clinics and opening up some new ones out there starting next year. This was kind of a pre-party for tenants of 100 oaks as well as lots of employees and donors. I spent the whole night demonstrating some parts of our EMR and socializing with co-workers. Not a bad way to spend a “work night”.
