My Barack O’Lantern Is Awesome! (And the Hallowe’en Party was fun too…)

October 29, 2008




Thank you to everyone who braved the cold rain and wind yesterday to come to my Hallowe’en party at Johnny Foxes on Second Avenue. The event was a great success.

I thought I’d post a few photos from the event. First and foremost, I wanted to show everyone my (awesome) Barack O’Lantern. Or Obumpkin if you prefer.

YES WE CARVE (www.yeswecarve.com) is a great little website that I discovered where you can download stencils, like the one I used, to show your Obama spirit this Hallowe’en. It’s really quite easy to download the stencil; print it; and use it to carve your pumpkin. You simply tape the stencil on to the pumpkin and use a knife to cut through along the lines so that when you carve for real, you have guidelines.


I dressed as a donkey (to keep with the election-themed spirit).



District Leader Frank Wilkinson brought some far, far west side spirit to the Upper East Side.



Here I am with LGBT activist and Upper East Sider, Caprice Bellefleur, whose costume was the best of the night.



My office’s Chief of Staff, Eliyanna Kaiser (the she-devil), and my Community Liaison, Paul Curtis (the clown), goofing off at the party.



My Office Manager, Ashley Roberts, rocked the time-honored black cat getup.

Thanks again to everyone who made the event so special!
