31 October 2003 – Halloween
Venue: Peter G’s
Another memorable Halloween gathering at Peter G’s house and some great stories to emerge from the homework title ‘The Night Train’.
Hugh showed up in 007 attire; Simon and Pil in capes (and a silver wig for Pil); Karen in witchy lace, and Michele debuted her groovy new hairstyle and with the aid of wigs William and Peter G showed us what they would have looked like in some alternate dimension where they had hair. Truly scary.
Karen’s story was unaminously pronounced the best thing she has ever written. William’s modern Cockney horror story was also a highlight and everyone agreed it was very original and would make the basis for a fantastic screenplay.
