Go-carting taxidermy armadillo costume party sleepover!!!!!

My sweet 16 is coming up and here's what I'm gonna do:

My friend and I both have October birthdays, so we're going to share a party. Twice the fun, half the price:)

My friend lives in a really old Victorian mansion downtown (the ones that were built at the turn of the century). No joke. It's awesome:) So we're going to have a costume party at her house in honor of fall/Halloween. I have this Martha Stewart Halloween magazine with a TON of recipe and decoration ideas, and I want to make her special cider, cheese quesadillas, and some other Halloween-y hors d'eouvres.

The costume party will be a sleepover (Halloween costume party sleepover in a Victorian mansion? I think yes).

The next day we're going go-carting at a nearby track. I think we can get a group rate. That will feed my slightly tomboyish, wild and crazy, need-for-speed side:)

If there's time after that, we're thinking of going to the Thrift Store, giving everyone 5 or 10 dollars, and setting them loose to buy whatever they want.

Whoever finds a) the weirdest item (ie: taxidermy armadillo) or b) the funniest/coolest/weirdest/ugliest/most extravagant outfit WINS.
