[Friday, Oct 20] MINI Fright Night

Ok, so I have looked at the calender, and there isn't ANYTHING going on this date. The next one is Asya's party. I don't want to miss that!
So here is the beginning of a MAD weekend! And a HAUNTED weekend!

I propose a trip to this haunted house http://www.coxspoint.com/index.htm
*** Point Haunted House. This is Maryland's oldest haunted house. It is located in Essex. That is up near Baltimore for people who don't know where that is.
They offer a discount ticket price for parties over 20! Little childern may not want to go. They claim it is pretty scary. Since this is only a start of the thread, I have some time to figure out how to get there! I will start looking at some fun twisties (if any exist) for the ride there.
I can see about getting some clings, and we can all meet (dressed up) and have a MINI costume party! So start thinking of idears for dressing up your MINI.
Stay tuned for more info, but start RSVPing!

This will be fun... I think am going to dress up Mr. OEM a bit too, matching my costume. I even called the Fairfax County police to ask them about the laws on car lighting... but something tells me now I should also call and ask the Baltimore police!

What am I going to do? You will have to wait and see... but I think only Sally will be able to guess, since she knows my halloween costume from last year.

Well,this is one reason why it is still in the early planning stages...I know people will have to work most likely on that Friday, and I would want to be there after dark settles in anyway. I was thinking about 8:30-9pm, but I don't know if we will be able to see our costumes! And I don't think I can drive with the costume I am thinking about for SF. I haven't had a chance to map it to see how long it will take from here, and I will also do it from some of the surrounding cities in NOVA, and Saturday would be easier since most people don't work, but XCaliGali has already something planned on that date and I don't want to miss her party! So I will map it, and get back to you!
Let me know people if this sounds like a good time! I am open for suggestions! The website mentions that it gets rather crowed and sometimes they have to shut the entrance and not let anyone else in the park because of the crowds...So I am going to keep that in mind as well.

Thanks! I just may take you up on it! Got to check out the maps! Don't know if we can do a twisty run though. I don't want to drive around with my MINI costume on! Plus, with people leaving from work. Dunno if it will work...but the haunted house seems AWSOME!
