The limo race is a costume party scavenger hunt on wheels. Teams assemble, and the limos depart at 9 PM; at midnight, everyone returns to the starting point with checklists filled and bottles emptied. We were Team Sparkle Motion, in nominal homage to the girls' dance troupe in Donnie Darko; of course we looked nothing like them, but it was a great excuse to wear flashy, blinky stuff.
Dr. Carmichael, Janet, and Natalia prepare their costumes.
We accomplished the first task before the limos even arrived:
painting a male teammember's toenails.
We had it all planned out.
Especially the part with the alcohol.
Excuse me, ma'am, would you help us out with this scavenger hunt?
Somebody had a little too much fun with the glitter.
The staff at Mama's knew exactly
what we were after: Team “Threat Level Red” had beaten us to the sombrero. We still got
our picture, though.
Yes, that is a shot.
Checklist: Ride the pig, at 10:45. Oops, it's 10:50 - nevermind,
somebody set your watch back - we have a photo to take!
Onward, with a kidnapped member of a competing team.
The SPD officer
who walked up as this picture was being staged thankfully did not lack a sense of humor.
Objective: find and crash a house party. We swooped in, stayed
for five minutes, and took off for the finish line.
