| The Partisan is a cool little bar on Main Street in Merced. |
 |
| It started out slow so we grabbed a free table and watched as it filled up quickly through the evening. |
 |
| Your mom and I went as a matching high school couple. She found genuine vintage costumes for us both, me in an old letterman jacket and her in an old cheerleader uniform. |
 |
| Matt threw on his best mask (with a moving mouth and furling lips!), and I cracked up every time he would take a sip of his drink through those horrifying teeth! |
 |
| Your mom and April compare shoes and socks. April went as Gogo, the deadly school-girl assassin character from the movie Kill Bill. She made by hand a mace which looked awesome and had a long chain of paperclips secured with tape. |
 |
| The Fierce Creatures put on an awesome live show. Your mom and April stood up front and center watching Amanda sing with the band. She's a great front-woman and a really sweet person we got to hang out with a bit. |
 |
| After the show we checked out the connected parlor, where costumed folks played pool. |
