Thanks to all who came out for the Halloween WOD. We wore ridiculous outfits, drank too much and made fun of Kevin T, I guess it was a pretty normal night. Conspicuously missing from the late night creeps was Steven Perotta who should expect a lot of hazing next week.
Here's how the night went down: We broke into 2 teams for some heated competition in 3 events - the balloon hopper, 3 legged race and CF trivia (which you all need to brush up on by the way). Props to Andy S for being the only person who could name one of our cats for a point in the trivia round helping team Halloweenie soar to victory. Better luck next year Vicious Tutu Dancers!
Congrats to Kevin T for winning the award for Best Costume in his homemade SpongeBob Squarepants!
