THE MAKING OF FRIENDS

It was tinker's Halloween party of 1994. The biggest smash party any BaHoDSS had ever seen before. About 50 people partied with us that night. tinker, sweet-t and a now former BaHoDSS member (we will call her "Thumper") had been friends since childhood, and tinker and Wildthang met while working at the local drive-in market. All of these mutual friends met this night and became very good friends. Thumper and tinker worked on the decorations all week. Detached hands and heads were made from paper mache` (one head looked just like tinker's hubby). They placed black plastic over all the windows, and converted another room into a psychic room equipped with a crystal ball, tarot cards, Ouija board, and of course, incense and candles. Homemade insects lay all over the place. The mood was set. tinker dressed as a dead greaser, Thumper disguised herself as a dead cheerleader, Wildthang constructed one of the most original ghost costumes ever had seen, and sweet-t, being the shy one, came as herself. Almost everyone that came, came in costume. The guests wearing the best costumes recieved cool "adult" prizes. Everyone danced to OZZY, Alice Cooper, KISS, Metallica, and other cool "Halloweeny" artists. A strobe light along with the killer song "Flyin' High Again" set the dance mood. The party was underway. EVERYONE was flying high by that time, thanks to all the liquor, beer and weed we went through. The rest of the party remains a blur to this BaHoDSS, but it marks the beginning of the BaHoDSS as a group.
