The Friday before Halloween Eastside had a costume contest, so a lot of people came dressed up. It was fun seeing everyone dressed up and some of the costumes were really creative! Some of my favorites were the Swedish Chef, Willy Wonka, and a dust bunny.
That night Greg Ruby and the Rhythm Runners were playing (!!!!!!!) which made the night just that more awesome. About mid way through the night the band announced they were going to play a waltz and have a competition. Lily and I were prepared to waltz our hearts out and then they added a requirement: you had to dance like whatever you were dressed up as. I didn't have a costume, but Lily was Larry the Cucumber from Veggie Tales, so I lead her around the dance floor as she hopped, getting one heck of a leg workout. It's not everyday you get to dance with a cucumber!
In the video you can see the squirrel and the court jester, who apparently was juggling during the waltzing. That's impressive!
Do remember back in May that I got to be a part of the latest video for Greg Ruby and the Rhythm Runners during Camp Jitterbug? Well the video was released recently and I can't believe I haven't shared it until now! Talented musicians from across the country and lots of awesome Seattle dancers. What's not to love?!?
