Earthquake centennial party photos!

Last night’s earthquake centennial party was so fun! I was amazed at everyone’s creative costumes! Jean came as a Red Cross nurse. Trent was a futuristic urban rescue responder. Nicole and Jill teamed up to be a San Francisco “search and rescue” policeman and dog. That’s me on the right as a “concussed Victorian” and Rob was dressed as the next big quake complete with a break-off San Francisco peninsula.

The whole evening was “electricity free.” It was a bit dark in the living room but bright and cozy around the dining room table candles. I decorated the table in silver and black with loose chandelier crystals to give the effect of a fallen light fixture. A simple dinner of salad, garlic bread and fettuccini was followed by a strawberry jello compote. It wouldn’t be a very good earthquake party without jello! After giving out the costume prizes (a first aid kit and cans of spam) we took the rickshaw for a moonlit spin and called it a night.
