When creatives plan a party no detail is overlooked. You've got the hay bales, corn stalks, caramel apples, and everything. Including pumpkin carving contest and costume contest.
You would not believe how the office atmosphere changes with a little decoration and a showing of 'Ghost Busters.' Eyes are creeping around office doors to follow the trails of cotton candy and goodies going to the party site. People are emerging fully decked in the craziest stuff (the winner of the costume contest gets a half day of vacation).
Basically, it's a ton of fun 'cause we're forgetting for a moment the projects and business because, hey, it's Friday and we're letting our hair down for the week-end.
I had forgotten how much fun pumpkin carving is. I like the smell of the fresh pumpkin and the feel of the seeds in your fingers and the sound they make when you mush them on your little brother. I made a simple celtic flower knot thingie. A lot of the other entries have really interesting twists such as a martian green pumpkin, an aquarium carved all the way around, and a few faces and animals - even a Cinderella carraige. This is an entierly untapped artform totally worth developing!

That's the news from the internship. We're keeping it lively and festive... at least until monday.
