Halloween 2010 - Keele and I went to the Treasurer's office during lunch. It was amazing! They really go all out every year to decorate. Unfortunately my batteries pooped out after I took pictures of the window and the front of the office. What you don't see is that there are rooms off the back where there are cubicles and they are decorated as well. One room was cleared out with a stage set up for an Elvis impersonater, another had all the lights turned out with a black light and life-sized prow of a ship and nautical theme, another room had a fake fireplace with a small table and 2 wingback chairs in front of it and lots of dead people and a coffin. It was amazing! And, I might add, in the basement of a city building.

This is the front, if you know someone (Keele) and can go back, the other fabulously decorated rooms are at the back!

Tamara as Snooki
P.S. The reactions Keele and I got when we went out to Sandia Casino after work for drinks and appetizers were priceless.  I would say that most people in Albuquerque do NOT know who Snooki from Jersey Shore is.  I think most of the people we saw just thought I was a tramp! And Keele said that no one would make eye contact with her (whether that was because she was with me or because people didn't know she was dressed up is a whole other issue - it was super fun and a great study in human behavior!)
