This week was Halloween. We had no trick-or-treaters...not sure if it was due to the intense rain that evening or the fact that our street is not ideal for this activity due to lack of sidewalk? Anyhow, the real Halloween celebration took place on Friday, when Maggie's lab at UH had its annual Halloween lunch. Our faculty leader took us to Lulu's, a restaurant right on the beach in Waikiki, to celebrate. The STEPs lab is fairly into Halloween, and has a tradition of getting rather involved in costume design and competition.
As you can see, we had a lot of fun. Cameo and I went as Little Albert and The Rabbit. For those of you who have not taken Psych 101, Little Albert was the non-IRB protected subject in a conditioning experiment run by John B Watson in the 1950s. This was definately the dorkiest costume of all time. You can learn more about poor little Albert at the link below:

Anyhow, I have included some pictures of the event. B-RAD was AWESOME as Optimus Prime. His mask actually had a voice converter that made him sound like a Transformer. This made everything that he said ridiculously funny. I just love my fellow post-docs--they are hilarious. Our beloved lab leader was a Hawaii Garbage Truck. His large yellow sunglasses were meant to be like windsheilds (see pic where he demonstrates with "wipers")...All in all, it was a very fun day. Sadly, despite our dorkiness, Cameo and I did not win any of the prizes for most creative, funniest, or best CBT costume. Adam won best CBT costume for his CBT Ninja. Adam is the taller clone of our very dear friend Phil, and him being a ninja only made their similarities all the more spooky.

The Optimus Prime costume reminds me of singing the theme song to Transformers into the fan, oh the entertainments of the lower middle class.
I thought Tommy was the ninja by the way, and I thought you were a Newsie, but I see you costume was more cerebral, on as few different levels.
