no tricks...all treats! lol

Halloween 2009 was a blast! My friend who is on co-op in St. Louis came back and partied for the weekend. I kicked off Halloween weekend with Night of Free Expression in celebration of Black Awareness Week [BAW]. BAW helps to expose black culture to the RPI community and abroad. It is also considered the preview for Black History Month. Our theme for BAW 2009 was Retro Magic. Night of Free Expression is closing ceremonies for BAW where we have members "freely express" themselves through any artform. We also bring in a poet to perform as well but this year, we tried something a little different by bringing a musical artist to perform, Mr Jesse Boykins III. It was quite awesome. He was SANGING and the band was great. Here he is with the eboard. :-).
Then I went out for some pre-Halloween festivities. Friday, I went to THE party at the PCC. I went last year when my sis came to visit and it was POPPIN. So this year I expected the same and it was good but not as GREAT as last years. Last year, the DJ played this stint of old school reggae [the reggae that I grew up like Buju, Lady Saw, Sanchez] and that made the party for me. This year he played alot of hip hop which was cool. Got to stanky leg, my dougie except not swag surfin. Just a tad bit disappointed. But it was a great night with my crew! I was a french maid. hehe.
I dont know who I think I am but I went out Saturday night as well. I went to Union for another party. This time, just my boys and my roomie. Me and the roomie represented the different decades, me as 80s dancer and 50s pinup girl for her. I must say we looked great!Finally got to swag surf. LOL. But totally missed my anthem for my senior year: WASTED. Not that i'm implying anything but I just like the song. LOL. But all in all, it was a WIN. One of the best weekends in a while and Im happy because I cant go out anymore because I have a lot of work to do until Dec.11.

P.S. In honor of Halloween, here's a little poster I did for my information design class.
