Nightmare Host 2009

Witch Doctor! Get it?

We had our annual Halloween party this Saturday, at the Beverly Wilshire hotel, famous from such movies as Pretty Woman, Beverly Hills Ninja, and Upscale Bangers 38.

Queen of FARTS more like it!

My neice had the same costume. I'm not sure what the red guy is.

Three people with their heads centered in the frame.

I could not figure out what they were supposed to be.

Two samoyeds.

Awkward.

Clearly, there were a lot of great costumes, none more betterer than the classic “Sunburned Surf Vampire”.

I did have a board. But I ate it.

Hideous monsters!

I wish I had a banana! And some wheat germ!

The fairy sheriff organizers!

Terrorists

Apparently, Andrea wasn't Dragon Ball Z like I kept calling her.

Not in costume.

Who invited the maid?!

Well, there was one more betterer. We had a costume contest, and Javier’s ended up getting second place:

Just like 7th grade.

And first.

It took him about 63 hours, 32 minutes to make.

NOBODY else got a single vote!

It had a cup holder!

    Why are there so many hot lady-types at a web hosting company?

    I now see what you were all working on during the big #dreamhost #fail event.

    The people who lost business during the three days their server was down salute your crafty costumes.

    It makes me happy to know that not only do I get kick-ass hosting, but you throw in pics of what looks like an awesome party for free!

    Keep up the good work =)

    The one labeled “I could not figure out what they were supposed to be” is Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat.

    The hotties just show up for the free hosting.

    And why couldn’t Josh figure out how to rotate a video? Or how to hold a camera the right way? Thank goodness DH doesn’t make us turn our heads to the left to use the panel because they couldn’t figure out linebreaks.

    Don’t know what Andrea (“not Dragon Ball Z”) is going for, but all I can think of is http://imgur.com/TPfGk.png

    So how does this have anything to do with upgrading PHP and SubVersion?

    nice pics. the robot is great!! :-D

    …but is still wonder: why is dreamhost ignoring the t-shirt contest completely and doesnt answer the questions from the customers?????
    instead there are just new blog posts…
    that is not very nice.

    Billy… the contest is over.. if you were selected for anything, you were contacted like me! :) they will be putting them up on the site for sale and what not pretty soon…

    thanks Dreamhost for making me jealous that I wasn’t at a cool party like that! although my costume would have been to come as the annoying guy who spits when he talks!

    @Michael

    Perhaps because, contrary to popular belief, there are women on the internet and in the IT industry…?

    Or, at the very least, some of the male employees have overcome their web-hosting-nerd handicaps to actually acquire girlfriends.

    Yay for stereotypes.
