Coaster Palooza Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Some of you might have seen Wally’s trip report from the SFMW Fright Fest and PGA previously. His link is here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30516 This weekend was pretty crazy. Friday I did Nut Tree and SFMW Fright Fest along with Ryan and Wally. We were able to get painted up like zombies for the coasters again. We also met up with Don and Monica for lunch. They went to Nut Tree, but not Fright Fest. Saturday Gyendolynne and I went to a Halloween party back in the old mine area of Almaden Valley. Finally on Sunday we went to the Steelers v. Raiders game. I think most of you know how that turned out. There were 14 people that went with us. Nine of them were Raider fans, 4 were Steelers fans, and there was one Bronco fan. Gyendolynne didn’t wear her Broncos’ stuff though. Here are the pics. Here's Holden's dad. Outside one of the mazes. Another group photo. Looking good Ryan. Other group shots Here's our group Here's Ryan. His transformation was pretty good too. Wally and I are really looking pretty good here, huh? Even Al had to have some fun. See.... It does get worse. Now for me... Wally changed pretty scarily too. Now for some transformations... This is how his sister turned out. You be the judge....???? Holden is here on the right just beyond his sister. I think he changed the most and with a good look. Ryan How about some before shots? but I thought what the heck, take a couple pics. We didn't go see the show The fog was really great that night too. continues... More parade. Here's the dead parade (as I call it) It isn't that glamorous on the inside. They wouldn't let me sit in it though, so I leaned on it. I love the batmobile Wally demonstrating his well groomed standards. Make sure you look perfect before we get in. Hey, Nacho Libre... Here's Don, Monica (newlyweds) and myself on the train. The only ride besides bumper cars and carousel running. Here is Don behaving like a little kid. I agree, I can't believe we didn't get kicked out at some point. Wally Don and Wally Didn't get the shirt. Yep, The train was neat We couldn't believe the coaster was already down. Most frustrating thing this trip. There we are, we are at the new Nut Tree. There's a name, but I am looking for the BIG sign The cement is neat. I was wondering if we are in the right place...

Coaster Palooza Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 For the past few years we have been going to Gyendolynne's friend's house for Halloween. She lives in the old Almaden mine area. The homes are neat and the area is up in the mountains. Enjoy the pics. You know it's late when they start drinking out of a plunger. I finally got out of my costume. Around the campfire. Me with Aaron...he really doesn't look like that. Photo in front of the house. They had a band playing too. Another boob grabbage. This time with two hands! Some more party goers. Next I had to go after the fair maiden Still didn't stop me from a boob grab. That's me with Jessica. She changed her outfit from a maid to a nun...heck of a change! Entrance to the house. That is actual smoke from the fire. It is cold in the mountains. We told Sean he looked like John Denver. Gyendolynne and Adrienne. As you can see, the looks of food didn't stop people from eating it. Here's some other neat food This is the owner of the house. NO Gyendolynee, don't eat it! Nothing like eating spiders! This was a great costume. Don't piss him off, he's the cook! Flintstones, meet the Flintstones! Good decorations on the house. The ghost would move up and down depending on noise and light. They even had a cemetary there. Nice sign for the BBQ Here is the fair maiden? Another shot of the Pirate. Some decorations... Arrrrgh, what Halloween party would be complete without a pirate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Palooza Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 We planned this outing a couple months ago. A person that I work with got 14 tickets for a group of us to head to the game. At the time I didn't think it was going to be this bad. My only thought was how would I get in and out of the game wearing my Steelers gear. That actually was easier than expected. Parting shot. It is 3rd and goal at this point. 4th quarter and Pittsburgh's offense is doing better. I can't believe they lost this game when the Raiders don't even have 100 yards in total offense! Yep, that's right, the Raiders have less than 100 yards in total offense. Pittsburgh wasn't that much better at that point. Our seats were up there. We were 2 rows from the top! This was my reaction after Ben's first interception for a touchdown. Ben's superstition of going to the endzone and then back to the 20 yard line. The black hole started screaming pretty good at this point. Coin toss. That is San Francisco over there through the fog. Here's Will. More stadium photos. There's the bay What a great view. Here we are in our seats. This is my friend Will on the far right and his friend Alex. There were quite a few Steelers fans tailgaiting and also attending the game. Here are the tickets. This is my friend Rich. He set this all up. Here's our group. My terrible towel has all the Steelers Super Bowl wins. I thought that was the only way I could display it at the time. My socks are the Super Bowl XL socks too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Palooza Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 ^^^You know what Wally, I wasn't nervous at all until we left. It was a little crazy walking through the parking lot and getting out of there. Some guy came up to me and asked to "borrow" my terrible towel to polish his crome. At that point I was a little on the defensive side, but other than that it was no problem. I thought we'd have more problems while we tailgated. ^^^^PKI Man...Dey be the people that won the Super Bowl last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
