Drunks with knives...
...carving ‘orbs’…
Is it Pirates????
NO! It’s the 12th, 13th, 14th, or 15th annual (we could not figure out how long this has been going on but it was over 10 years) Great Pumpkin Carving held each year at the pub the ‘Barking Spider’ down on the campus of CWRU.
I was suppose to attend with Erin – unfortunately he had to bow out (duty calls). I went down expecting a large crowd – for some reason this year there weren’t as many people. Kind of sad.
At any rate there, on the campus of CWRU (from the place that brought you graffiti with such nuggets of widom: ‘I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy' ) – the plan is to sit around drinking pitchers of beers with each other and break out saw tiny saw-like apparatuses and other ‘carving/sculpting’ instruments and carve up pumpkins. It gets pretty interesting and usually we have some great artists in the crowd. I will be directing you to pictures once I find out they are uploaded.
(Here, courtesy Heidi is a picture from a past 'carving'):
I enjoyed the evening – I got to see my favourite Scottish Rogue – Dr. Evil himself –we promised each other to get together soon. Unfortunately he is not having HIS annual costume party this year.
I was asked to carve, I only wanted to watch (I like watching *winks*), but Heidi insisted. I really wanted to have Erin there – he’s the true artist of the two of us – I ended up carving an un-inspired ‘normal’ pumpkin gaping mouth, triangle nose, large, almond eyes.
I did get to meet some new and interesting people (we were all discussing the issues surrounding creationism being taught in schools vs Darwinism) I realised I missed these people and the wonderful conversations.
I need to get down there more often. Spring and summer are the best times for me cause everyone sits outside and since a lot of the group smokes winter is difficult being in there around all the second-hand smoke – I end up getting sick from it...
It was nice, but I left early 8:30 PM – maybe I will return tonight bringing Erin – if anyone is going to be down there.
We have a lot of options/opportunities for fun/doing stuff this weekend – so we shall see...
