It was Halloween night, and a group of us from college had been invited to an off-campus Halloween party at Sue's boyfriend's apartment. One of the guys had a large van, so designated driver was voluntarily chosen and we headed out in the early evening. The coolers were full and spirits were high.
Sue, another girl, and I decided to dress as the three blind mice. The costumes were cute, and for a shoe string budget, looked pretty damn good. The other guys we were with dressed as hippies, cowboys, ghosts, or whatever happened to be in their closets on the way out. So, we were definitely the highlight of the van.
The ride over was fun and we laughed the whole way. The van pulled up to this old Victorian house in an upscale neighborhood and we piled out of the van. There were many cars and motorcycles around, and music was pouring out of the house. This is going to be a fun evening.
Now I've been to a lot of college student's apartments, but this one took my breath away. It was on the second floor and was very grand and spacious. Pete, the girl's boyfriend, was a very gracious host, and offered us food and beverages as we wandered around. The apartment had two bedrooms, the master bedroom and a guest bedroom. The master bedroom had a bath with a shower and large bathtub, and there was a powder room in the hallway leading to the bedrooms. There was a kitchen, dining area, and a great room. In the great room was something I have never seen in any apartment I've ever visited -- a large, beautiful, dark wood bar.
