Zilker Condos Halloween Hangout 2009!

Feeling like hanging out, doing nothing AND going to an awesome party?

Join your fellow neighbors on the deck this Halloween!

Starting sometime around happy hour or dusk, we will be hanging out, watching cartoons and movies projected on the front wall, listening to music, talking and passing out candy. Kristi can teach us how to do the thriller dance. Dress up, or not. Its pot luck, BYOB, but who are we kidding. Let's pig out on candy! I am making a smarties-loaf. Possibly a snickers cacciatore. A twizzler pasta salad. I could go on.

There are no rules, just completely laid back Halloween hanging out. You can't miss it, its on your deck!
