1992. "Suck This." This was the first Halloween party that John and Wes hosted together. Many friends visited their campus apartment that night as vampires, though other guests re-interpreted the theme in other sucky ways.

One of the only event memories of the party is of the failed exploits of an SCA member from Boston University named Rachel. She tried to crawl into the sleeping areas of no less than four men who were in various stages of slumber and drunkeness (Bob, Joe, Wes, and John)  and managed to get rejected by each. She was nicknamed "Bob's hat, Joe's cloak" for the clothing items that she was given to just leave people alone.

Wes switched costumes a few times during the night. After a long-running series of questions to JJ's magic 8-ball about a certain friend's, ummm, sexual future, Wes dressed as a human magic 8-ball, to which this friend fulfilled the prophecy, screaming "You suck!" when seeing the outfit. Later, Wes became more communally sucky, dressing as a vampiric version of a campus pariah best referred to in the third person, who sucked the life out of many Tufts parties and might continue to do so, if he were named.

John's brain cells for this time period have long-since been laid to rest, and anyone with information leading to the discovery of his costume are encouraged to contact us.

Christy Casado showed up as a walking tequila shot, with a bag of limes around her neck, a tequila bottle in a holster on each hip, and plenty of delectable body parts suitable for pouring salt on. We also have Amy Lilien-Harper to thank for the only photos of this party that we know to exist:
