Just inside the front door, Rowland was DJing from his home studio all night, whilst taking the invites, allowing him to keep out anyone he didn't know, and also get an accurate head count (just for the heck of it), which came to around 110. The house was mainly used for the bathroom, newly repainted by Dana, and for the food.
Ah, the food. We built our edible cadaver as always, modified once again to make it more practicle for eating, concentrating mainly on sandwiches. Here's the breakdown:
- Skull: plastic skull Dana got off E-bay.
- Brain: Bobby's brain-shaped mold with peach Jell-O mixed with evaporated milk to make it opaque and flesh-colored, cut to fit inside the skull.
- Eyes: large olives with pimentos.
- Arms: bone-shaped sugar cookies, red licorice veins, turkey muscles and beef jerky skin.
- Hands: radish palms and carrot stick fingers.
- Lungs: blue corn organic tortilla chips (hey, he was a smoker).
- Liver: chocolate pudding.
- Appendix: dish of sour cream and onion dip.
- Small Intestines: li'l smokeys sausage links.
- Large Intestine: big sausage link.
- Kidneys: a three-compartment dish with the outer two full of mayonaisse.
- Bladder: the middle compartment, filled with mustard.
- Testicles: peanuts.
- Penis: sandwich stacker sliced pickles.
- Buttocks: buns for the sandwiches.
- Legs: bone-shaped sugar cookies, red licorice veins, roast beef and ham muscles and beef jerky skin.
- Feet: radish ankles and celery stick toes.
We were also going to have ribs for ribs and a heart-shaped dish of BBQ sauce, but just never got around to it on the day of the party, what with all the other chaos. No problem, though, because this was our most successful year for the food. Most of it went early, and not a scrap was left by 1am!
We had lots of smaller decorations all throughout the house, including a miniature graveyard on the entertianment center, various body parts and nasty things brewing in the kitchen, the hall was lined in black tarp with black-light painted designs and pictures, and the bathroom had bloody skeleton foot- and hand-prints, with a bright red light.
