Somehow, I managed to spend both nights of Halloween (because let's be honest, you did too) on U St.

Friday night I went to Station 9, for some sort of Russian party, don't ask me why. Except Russians are crazy, and slutty/crazy costumes are (as a general rule) to be expected.

Saturday night brought about The Gibson Halloween party (in part a celebration of the second floor opening) which, being on the pricier end of the spectrum, was very low-key, but also kinda awesome as a result. The drinks, as always at The Gibson were spectacular, and the staff played excellent hosts.

Perhaps the most spot-on and (pop) culturally prescient costume of the evening...

Popping into Marvin for a second, Blind Melon girl definitely wins the top prize in my book for cleverist Halloween costume of the night.

Also, gotta love the clever combo of swine flu/paranoid Asian scared of swine flu. Very now. Top marks.

The Mummies costumes look like they're better made than the ones the band actually wore.

It's true maxwell, we didn't want our shit to fall apart halfway through the night.
