Have no fear--the superheroes are here!

Yesterday a friend was having a Halloween-themed birthday party at a downtown bar. Although Shawn and I aren't much for the bar scene, we decided to head out and help her celebrate. Since the bar was also having a Halloween themed event, we of course were expected to wear costumes. One of my classmates keeps up with his superheroes through comics, and my office-mate decided to be a superhero herself, so it all fell into place that we should be superheroes as well.

After thinking through my options and doing some research, I settled on being Wonder Woman. Not only did I have the right hair, but as I read more about Wonder Woman she seemed pretty awesome. As Queen of the Amazons she worked to protect people and bring peace--she also got to have cool bracelets and a Lasso of Truth that helped her fight crime! Shawn decided to take on the persona of Superman, but in his Clark Kent version.

Also with us were Kick Ass, Indiana Jones, and Bat Woman.

Needless to say, the streets of Durham were safe Saturday night.
