More than apt

Today was the first day of the theater festival, and the night of the party that I had volunteered to host. I spent the afternoon setting up the room, plugging stuff in, figuring out what light switch controls what, taping down cords, etc. etc. etc. After all the festival stuff got out at the school everyone came over to the hotel where the parties are to be held. It was pretty intense hosting a party of this magnitude. There are 1600 students at this festival and at least a couple hundred of them showed up for the party. As host you have to get out and mingle while keeping tabs on the people who are necessary for certain parts of the evening. Added bonus: We had a costume contest! Which meant also keeping tabs on what time it was and deciding when to do the different rounds. The party's theme was 'leftovers.' These two ladies are the ones who won the costume contest. What are they? Lady Gaga's leftovers. Very nice.
