Halloween 2008

Ain't no Halloween like a Tetonian Halloween!

As pretty much everyone knows, Halloween is the biggest Tetonian event of the year.  This year we mixed it up a little and instead of doing a baked potato bar, Theresa made a ton and a half of homemade ziti.  If you've never had Theresa's ziti, I pity you.  Ambrosia fit for the G-ds, Theresa's ziti is.

So, this year the beautiful Taylor and her posse came by to say hi and show off their fabulous costumes.  Taylor dressed as Artemis.  Why Artemis?  So she could make grand, sweeping gestures with her hands and say, "I am reminded of the hunt!"  Taylor's beau, the handsome Craig, dressed as Julius Caesar and the rest of the motley crew rocked it with everything from superheroes to princesses.  Ah, to be 15 again....

Another tidbit that made this year different was my introduction of Tito's Handmade Vodka to the Tetonians.  If you've never tried it, you really need to make a point of getting your hands on some (BevMo, baybeees!).  Smooth and delish...after the first sip, we agreed that Tito's was to be the neighborhood beverage of choice.  After the first bottle, we renamed ourselves St. Tito's Parish and dubbed the maker St. Tito, Patron Saint of Libations.  So, our street is Teton Way and we refer to ourselves as Tetonians.  Tetonians/Tito-nians?!?!?  Coincidence?  I THINK NOT!  Sometimes the stars align and it all comes together exactly as it should (and it doesn't hurt any that Tito himself is smokin'...check out the picture!).

We're already working on a theme for next year...my vote was that we all come as paparazzi and photograph everyone who comes by to trick or treat.  If you've got any ideas, bring 'em on!!

For the love of vodka,
