2009/10/30 Halloween at Google
π 2009-10-30 01:01 in Google, Halloween
This year was a pretty quiet Halloween. The Google celebration was pretty good, they even made a haunted house that wasn't bad at all :)

A funny part was the dog costume contest :)







Unfortunately, I got sick on the 31st (again!) and missed Amy's great party, as well as AvB at Ruby Skye 2 days later. Those were both huge bummers :(

Another year, another halloween. Nice pokemon go and other video game themed decors, and really fun to have baby piggies and hedgehogs to play with :) They also had other fun games:

Regis had a nice costume party with a mystery to solve. Jennifer and I tried, but didn't do so well :)

I wasn't in the country last year, but was this year, so I took my light costume to work


sadly googleween for kids was a cluster from what I heard (too many people, impossible to even get to for some)

Long line to get in, 30mn to wait to get through a security line:









Time for the costume contest. I played but didn't win :)

Regis had another nice costume party with a new mystery to solve. This time Jennifer and I mostly solved it, outside of one detail:








Thanks for the evening, good food and fun costumes.

Like recent years, Googleween now includes a full metal detector and prohibition of any costume items that look like weapons, including lightsabers and plastic swords. That's a bit over reacting in my opinion, but oh well. My costume of course thoroughly failed the metal detector, but looked at the guy with "what are we doing here, I work here", and he said "you probably don't have IEDs" and he let me in.



Once in, the decors and attactions were well done. They also did a reasonable job of handling the crowd loads so that you didn't have to stay in line for too long:

They had a haunted house which wasn't very big, but was well done and had good actors:







Then was time for the costume contest:









I didn't compete as my light outfit didn't look like much in the sun, so we went back to see the animations and games:

sun was finally setting, giving my outfit a better chance to shine :)

As I put this page together, I realized that Jennifer and I didn't get a good picture together with my outfit in the dark, small oversight which we will hopefully fix next time.

By 19:00, the event was over and we were nicely escorted off the premisses :)
