Posting this some 6 weeks later, I still had to share this with my readers.

original photo taken

My friend Ingrid was having a Halloween party on October 29th, but I was out of town, but I still wanted to be at the party. So we came up with a way that I could still attend. I decided to make a stick photo of myself that could be carried about at the party.

I went to the craft store to get some thick board to post the printed picture onto. I found that glue stick helped a lot. So did my wife, who suggested that we use a paint stir stick, which would be easy to hold and much sturdier than the simple craft sticks.

The next few pics are the end result.

Hanging With Lindsey and Ingrid

As you can see, I was able to be two places at once, being able to attend this fine party at Ingrid’s house.

at the company costume event on Monday the 31st

As a nice surprise, I found that I was also able to be at the costume judging event at my company on Monday, even though I was on the road traveling back to Utah that day. Versatile human.

Avitaween is one of the premier annual blogging events [the other one I've been to is TequilaCon] and this was my first time attending.

As you can see from the first photos, my wife and I attended this event as penguins. Think “March Of The Penguins” with alcohol and other invaders.

The party was a huge success, with Adam doing so much to put it all together. I can’t thank him enough for the great job and massive effort he went through. Also, there were so many cool people there – some of which I hadn’t met before. I’ve previously posted a photo of meeting Hilly for the first time, but I also got to meet Becky – hellohahanarf. Becky and I have been wanting to meet for some time. And we finally did.

Look at how happy we are now that we’ve met.. well, we’ve both had alcohol, too

And of course, I got to meet up with Dave from Blogography again. Always a pleasure to meet up with the King of the PRB.

King.. meet Penguin.

The Best of the Rest

Adam also had a wall of photos of people’s vacation photos with “reported sightings” This is the one I sent in of Reba and I at Rockefeller Center in NYC.

Who knew that the aliens had invaded NYC. Never seen that before

And for those that want to see all photos, here’s the entire Flickr photo stream for Avitaween ’09

Can’t wait for next year.

UPDATE

Always dapper and ready for a photo op in the studio

As Adam pointed out in the comments, there were studio photos that were taken during the Avitaween party. Here’s the link to the entire set of studio photos.
