The Monster Mash Bash, Saturday 27th October, 2001

The Monster Mash Bash was held on a Saturday night, and oh boy was it a good evening! We had absolutely everything, from pumpkins to she-devils, a full bar, a DJ, and a hilarious fun class. If you thought last year's was good, this year's was even better, and if you missed it then come along next year because this dance is unique in Bristol. Why? You'll have to come along and see for yourself...

Here are a couple of photos from the night for you to see...

	Ah, beer. I could work out whether this was "still life", "modern art", or just "flash photography". Groan...
	And speaking of beer, here's the Cardiff crowd, or a part of it anyway! They had a good night, and munched the sweets in the pumpkin sweet-jars, played with the candle, and generally told jokes and played with my horny little devil (don't worry, it's a fluffy toy of mine).
	Caroline, looking very spider-woman-ish!
	Graham, dressed as Dracula, on the hunt for some lovely lady to whom he could give a (toothless) love-bite. Andy, the other dress-up fanatic, couldn't make it for the whole night, but did turn up briefly looking like Keanu Reeves from The Matrix.
	Clare, with one hell of a make-up job which (apparently) took longer to take off than it took to put on! That's latex for you though...
	Another Graham, dressed as The Mummy. He's struggling here with the dry ice that we were playing with, and we decided to go for some "atmospheric" shots. I bet he never realised that when we said "atmospheric", we meant "fog"...
	A few shots of the crowd (early on in the evening) dancing the night away. A damn fine knees-up enjoyed by all.
	I think John really needs to keep off the happy juice, especially when it bubbles like that... But the warning was probably given too late, judging by the look on his face!
	David didn't have time to put on any make-up or costume, so he came as he was.
	You have to hand it to him, putting on all that latex rubber makeup! He did get a bit worried at one point, because he had almost nothing on underneath and his bandages started slipping. I told him not to worry - his modesty remained "preserved"!
	Helen, taking a well-earned rest against the pillar, and playing with her bat-wings.
	John and Michelle taught a hilarious fun class, included in which were "The First Move Stab" (being done in the photo), "Igor's Wurlitzer" (which no photo could ever capture!), and "Psycho Nigel's Move". I think more laughing than dancing was done, but we still got there in the end!
	Mmmmmm, she-devil!
	And there you were, thinking that we never washed the drinking cups out after use... Hygiene rules are always adhered to... BWUH HUH HUH HUH!
	John H. made a welcome return for the party, after his stint in hospital, and spent a while experimenting with the cameras and the different shots. This one's great - psychadelic, but great!
	John, Michelle, and David, lining up ready for the night to begin.
	Diane, Steve, and Graham, posing under the "Monster Mash Bash" banner we did, which was next to the other (slightly ruder) sign by the toilets, aptly titled "Monster Mash Slash"... it was all well signposted in the toilets, we had "Ghosties" to the right (ladies), and "Goolies" to the left (Men, of course!). We can't take credit for that idea though, it came from Jackie at Planet LeRoc (Wales)!
	These are the winners of the fancy dress competition. This lady had a devilish outfit on, and spent the night flipping between scaring the dancers and charming their socks off! A prize well-earned!
	Who is that masked man? Well, whoever he is, he's stark raving bonkers! Imagine dressing up like the Grim Reaper and dancing like that all night! Holy smoke, he must have absolutely cooked in that outfit!!! A prize well-earned!
	Thanks to Revolution Pictures for taking the photos.
