Twice Mice

I love watching Grey’s Anatomy. I never get sick of calling out “I live there!” whenever there’s a fly-over shot of Seattle. So after witnessing the injuries from the annual Chainsaw Pumpkin Carving Contest on the show, I couldn’t wait to see the event in person. However, no one lost so much as a finger throughout the whole event. It started with a young man dressed as Corporate America, who said the pumpkin represented the American economy. By the end, the pumpkin was decimated:

We then had a Farmer Joe, Doctor Fly, Super Pumpkin Man, Elvis, and the Pumpkin Fairy. The Pumpkin Fairy took a lot of work carving her pumpkin, spraying me with pumpkin goo as I was sitting in the front row. My hair was covered in seeds, and for the rest of the afternoon I had people asking me if I knew I had something in my hair. 

The winner, judged by the applausometer , was the Pumpkin Fairy, who carved a face inspired by the book Where The Wild Things Are. It was a very enjoyable experience, and is yet another unique Seattle memory.
