Bash to the Future

You know, I've been really agonizing over this year's Monster Bash. Each year, the cost of MB has increased substantially, to last year, which carried a price tag of over $1000. No joke. The cost of props, food, music, invitations, prizes, etc to fit into the Murder Circus theme was through the roof. Have we taken what was once a simple Halloween Party (I'm lying, it's not a "simple Halloween party"...it's the best party on Earth) and made it into something too commercial?

Jim and I pondered and pondered over the future of Monster Bash. With my impending transition from "living at home" to "being a new homeowner", as well as with the tough economic times, we had a lot to think about. This year, would we make Monster Bash even MORE costly? Could we afford it? Where would it be held? Is Jim's room no longer a viable venue? Will Monster Bash be altered forever? Will I have to change my Blog tag line?!

And then, Jim sent me this:
