Bal Masqué

I was working at the restaurant last night. There was a cocktail party upstairs for about 70 people, all doctors, specialists, or people related in a way to the radiology department of the Adelaide Hospital. They were celebrating the acquisition of a new important machine for cancer treatment. Apparently, it took them years to be able to afford and get a hold of one. So good on them! But the thing that struck me the most during the evening was that EVERYONE was wearing a mask! EVERYONE!
When you try to throw a theme party in Canada, (or the ones I've been to or herd of) it is very rare, almost impossible to get everybody to get into it. You always get a few people who won't get into the spirit, will be too lazy to get a costume, or who are just too self conscious to dress up. But here, theme parties are pretty common. And everybody gets into it. I just love a bunch who are always up for a good laugh, and a good time.

Oh, and there was this chick with a Darth Vader helmet, big, black and shiny... She also had this voice thing that transformed her voice into Vader's whenever she spoke...

'Helloooooooo......(hhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooo) Could I haaaaave a glaaaaassssss of reeeeed plesaaaaaase? (hhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooo)'

It was so cool.

I know a few guys who would just kill for one of those...
