PREMIER BUILDER PICKS



The Tripod Insider


The Halloween party provided plenty of juicy gossip, as expected. Hmmm ... where to start? How about costumes? Jay and Natalie went as winter and summer (very cute), Maggie and Jenny were witches (coincidence?), Heather was a vampire (complete with red contacts), Mike L. made an excellent Dr. Evil, Chris and his wife Erin arrived as ketchup and mustard bottles, Brian R. dressed as the Phantom of the Opera, Derek portrayed William Wallace (aka Braveheart), and I went as Olivia Newton-John (off-the-shoulder sweatshirt and all)!

Tripod hasn't seen a party like this in awhile. There were two DJs, (our very own Jesse included), pumping music all night. Almost everyone was on the dance floor getting their groove on, especially Barak, who danced up on the platform more than his fair share.

We did miss one small Tripodian at the party — little Charlie Stewart. Fortunately, Mags brought him in this Tuesday to show off his little skunk costume. And we thought he couldn't get any cuter! Speaking of little ones, I'd like to congratulate three more expectant fathers here at Tripod: Senior Editor Richard Egan, Angelfire Producer extraordinaire Chris Young, and Senior Software Engineer Rich Garabedian. Looks like I'll be pretty busy babysitting!
