BIG FUN at the Halloween Party
As one might expect, Halloween is a big deal down on the Ice, and we have a big party every year to celebrate it. This weekend was our big to-do, and it was pretty crazy! BUT we only had to have one person Medevac’d to Christchurch, so I guess it wasn’t too wild. (Actually it is - when it’s bad enough to fly a whole C-17 to Christchurch just to move one injured person, it’s not good.) With Canterbury Draft on sale for $1 a can (that’s New Zealand’s answer to Pabst I think) there was definitely some overindulgence.
It’s sort of like a high school party, but with beer. We decorate the gym and everyone comes over after school!
But my excellent co-workers in Rec did a superior job decorating and putting on the whole shindig - here are some pics of the decorations:
This is the big spider that took over the gym, affectionately known as Big Fun.

“When Robots Attack” during the costume contest. The robot managed to attack the emcee, all the contestants, and the NSF Station Manager. He also managed to fall off the stage and break his glasses. He remembers nothing of this. Kids, don’t drink and wear boxes and stuff on your body.
However, do note the National Geographic guy - he looked great!
A general shot of the crowd. It was a great party - yet another wild and crazy gathering on the Ice!
