current mood: dorky
Ok so first of all I gotta say that I did my gay bar/ halloween party the weekend before halloween so I was left to figure out what to do for actual Halloween. So I got a flyer in my email letting me know about a bunch of events happening at the El Dorado in Reno. Listing Fortune tellers, tarot cards, trick or treating, "coffin" bar crawl, halloween treats including caramel apples and candied apples and the Piz de resistance a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show which totally peaked my interest!
So we decided that we should get a room for the night in case we wanted to drink and not worry about someone staying sober. So we get to Reno and check in Harrah's hotel which is basically across the street from El Dorado and we get there and after we check in and relax in the room for a bit we head out to the events.
We get there and I'm all pumped for the forture telling and tarot cards and halloween jewlery and stuff, but was highly disappointed with what I found. The place still looked the same with the exception of a few card tables set up in the corners of the walk ways with the things set up on it... bummed I figured they might have something across the entire walkway between circus circus and el dorado. Which they didn't so I wanted to head back and try to find as much as i possibly could.
Again not finding much, I bought tickets for Rocky Horror and made sure we had seats, oh fyi it was only 7 pm at this point. So wandering about I figured that well we were here and I was gonna try to make the best of what was here. So I got my Fortune told by a lady who was a wiccan and also a life coach for her real job. So she starts, I picked 15 cards and she sets them out and begins to tell me that David and I are basically soul mates and we will have a very nice life together and be prosperous in whatever we choose to do. The reading was really about me so she tells me that I need to use my creativity and stop being a worry wart and just do things because my angels are watching out for me and protecting me and just stop second guessing life (not exact but in a nutshell) it was neat but also told me before we left that the future is up to me and no matter what she said it was all up to me and we left her table.
So then we went to go have some halloween drinks at the bars there, I had something called vampire bat blood it had vodka, midori, and cranberry juice. it was actually pretty good. I left it after the first one though and had to nurse the second one but its ok. David also got a frankie hat thing with the bolts on it and we got photo booth pics taken. he wore beer glasses and I had martini ones one. It took 6 pics and we wore them for 3 and normal face for the last 3... it was so cute I love taking the photo booth pics, they're fun!
But we did everything and it was only like 9:45 there was no way to stick around for another 2or3 hours for the movie, so we went back to the room and I changed shoes, heels hurt when your not used to them and relaxed until 11:15 (well David napped) so then we leave to go see the movie
We get there in plenty of time and get front row seats ^_^ and slowly it fills in... definately not crowded though. So the movie finally starts and of course I have to sing along cause DUH! and then I get pelted with rice for the wedding scene which makes me laugh well cackle and knew it was gonna get better from there. The Time Warp comes on and I do it in the theater and interact as much as I can without the props, yelling Slut to janet and Asshole to Brad. I wasn't sure they were gonna allow props so I didn't bring any.
The movie was a riot and then we head out for steak and "bloody" eggs for breakfast 2 ppl for $6.66 (all together!) awesome deal! then go to the room for sleepy.
All in all my Halloween was pretty good! I had fun even with the little disappointment in there.. ^_^
