Icon17 Halloween in Athens

Athens Ohio, that is.

Deep in the hills of Appalachia (SE Ohio) lies a small town named Athens. Home to first public institution of higher learning in the Northwest Territory (Ohio University, founded 1804), it is named after the ancient center of learning, Athens, Greece. But enough history, let's get to the fun part.


(yours truly)

Halloween in OU is considered one of the largest parties countrywide. The entire Uptown is shut down for traffic and people go pub to pub, bar to bar. This weekend we have met people who flew in from California, Oregon, Nevada, New York, even British Columbia. It was massive. Here's an idea of what it looks like outside:
















Let's visit some of the pubs, shall we?


not sure what he's supposed to be, but cool costume nonetheless




South Park fans should appreciate this one




Allen from Hangover




Ummmm...... Britney?




Erin is supposed to be Katy Perry getting kicked off Sesame Street, but I think she just wanted to show some cleavage...










supposed to be the cast from Mad Men, but I couldn't get them to focus




And so I will leave you with this (not for the faint-hearted)...






























Hope you had a safe and fun Halloween!

Technically, I am Hunter S. Thompson, as portrayed by Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing (very accurate depiction done by JD, by the way!)
