SPHC Halloween Party '99

Well, the 1999 SPHC Halloween Party is history and I hope a good time was had by all. We enjoyed Jamaican jerk baked beans, homemade BBQ (eastern NC style), huntersauced meatballs and a variety of finger foods. If a Sandlapper went away hungry it was his/her own fault. Amongst the Buffett-costume revelers, Christy Winstead walked away with Best-Of-Show with her impression of the teacher who thinks Math Suks. She raided her 92 year-old grandmother's closet to give herself that Old Lady Winstead look. She even prematurely grayed her hair. Nice goin' Christy. For Best Female Sandlapper in a supporting role, we had a tie between Toni Vaughn as the Woman Goin' Crazy On Caroline Street and Billie Shaver for her Gypsy in the Palace. The Best Male Sandlapper in a supporting role found another tie between Randy Little and his Vampire, Mummy and the Holy Ghost outfit and Rion Rutledge's Pirate Lookin' at 35. The worst costume of the evening went to some fella, who wished to remain anonymous, who had fake palm fronds sticking out of, well, a palm frond hat and billing himself as Lone Palm. The bon fire added a nice touch on the evening, but the tour of the 80 year old haunted house really livened things up. Randy Little, hiding in a closet with a mask over his head, jumped out shaking a cow bell and screaming his head off. 'Twas a special site seeing everyone scramble. Thanks to Rion & Lisa for the stereo equipment and Mark & Kelly for preparing the country ham biscuits.
