Greatest Idea Ever.

piggy bank / bus stop / kool-aid.

As I was drumming to the beat of a Lincoln Park song I suddenly had the greatest idea.  Halloween was right around the corner and since I was known as a geek in college I wanted to thrown the best Halloween party.  I ran to my ceramic piggy bank that I recall making at a Color Me Mine store for my 7th birthday.  Back then I was so into Batman that I painted it all black and added the Batman logo on his chest, of course.  As soon as I was able to take it home I dug up some old toilet paper cardboard from the trashcan and rolled them into cones to make Batman's ears and painted them black and taped it onto the piggy bank.  I still think it's super cool.  Maybe that's why they call me a geek, who knows?

As I turned Mr. Batman over and shook all the coins out and then digging for the cash, I realized I had saved a good $110 in the last few months since I blew my money on my last RPG game.  What kind of crazy party can I throw with only $110?  Since I worked at a print shop part time, I remembered a customer who had a really cool Halloween party design.  I figured I could mimic the design and replace it with my party information.  My party is gonna be so bad ass!

It was Halloween night and I was getting ready for my party.  With my $110 I bought some black-lights, a fog machine, a party bus rental, bottles of vodka, and a ton of kool-aid.  In the last week I have been hearing just about everyone talking about my party.  As my driver pulled up to the first bus stop Downtown, about 13 people hopped on paying $5 each.  They were all dressed up in costumes from tarzan to ninja turtles to average consumers.  Everyone was diggin' the party bus with only black-lights on and a fog machine in each end of the bus.  There were jello shots everywhere and people were getting tipsy fast.  As the music was blasting and Lincoln Park was creating such a hype mood, each bus stop we stopped at had a few more groups of people hopping on board.  It was getting wilder and wilder. 

The last stop we made was right by a cliff overlooking the pounding waves and you can clearly see how huge the moon was.  As the last song was playing, the bus' interior sprinklers came on.  Everyone was being splashed with kool-aid.  It was like a wet t-shirt contest but it looked like there was blood everywhere - kinda like a murder scene.  People were sticking their tongues out, people were stripping, people were howling.  No one can top this party. 

Everyone was having so much fun and my name was actually coming up in conversations as if I were a god.  So many people came to party hopping on and off at all the different bus stops we came through.  At $5 per person I made over $800!!  To think that with only $110 I was able to throw the most awesome party, redeem my name, and make over $800 in return.  I am a god.  AND--- my plan worked after all.  With this money I can buy the new RPG game set that's coming out next week and even buy a gamer keyboard and headsets with the extra money.  I am so excited to play it!
