the fourth annual h'ween bizash

this weekend is mrs. wintermute's 4th annual halloween party. we have a lot of history invested in this long held tradition. in fact, one of the first times she and i hung out was at her first party four years ago. i didn't really know anyone there besides moe and bloodninja (and jwatt, who had invited us). i was standing in the kitchen, just having a drink and listening to the sweet tunes. wait, is that SYSTEM OF A DOWN on the mix? I said aloud, "man, i love this song (chop suey). who made this mix?!?!"

the once-and-future-mrs w happens to be standing behind me. she turns around and says, "i made it."

so you could say an amernian heavy metal band help bring us together.

every year, i like telling this story to everyone at the party, esp. once i'm crunked up. if you are attending, you will be forced to listen to it. if you've been attending this party for the past four years, you will be forced to listen to it for the third time.

mrs. w and i have a flipping sweet costume gig this year, possibly our best ever. but you'll have to be there to see it.

mrs. w has also been putting a her great skills towards a great and eclectic song mix.

four years ago, i knew she was serious about music when a not-to-be-named-here guest made the serious mistake of Messing With the Mix. she hit skip b/c she apparently did not like the current song. mrs. w's ears perked up (just like yoda's in ep III when palaptine taunts him) from across the room. she marches to the CD player, says, "what the hell are you doing?!?!" and resets the song.

don't ever mess with this woman's mix.

to everyone who reads this blog, you are officially invited to party this saturday. email me at wintermute.lives@gmail.com to get details. yup, this is a first: i'm inviting blog friends. err, let's not tell mrs. w, though, ok?
