We're Fans of Voting Here at the UHP!

We’re also fans of Halloween!  That’s why we had an awesome Halloween Party last Friday.  If you weren’t able to make it, check out the pictures of the event.

2011’s Pumpkin Carving Contest Winner

If you’re itching for a little voting that an absentee ballot didn’t fix, check out this link to look at, and vote for, the best pumpkins!
Vote by liking the pumpkin(s) you like best in the album.  
Shameless begging to get your friends to vote for your pic is fine — just make sure they know to “like” the photo in our album (and not accidentally “like” a re-share or re-post. HEY WE DIDN’T MAKE FACEBOOK, WE JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT.)
While we’re always a fan of you liking our content (speaking of which, you should like us on facebook to keep getting great updates and important information), votes must be cast by 10am on Monday, November 5th to count.   Remember, just like a regular election, if you don’t vote by the time the polls close, your opinion won’t be heard.  So vote now!
The winner of this contest doesn’t get to be president, but they do win a prize!

Candy! Carving! Cool Kids!

The UHP is having our annual Pumpkin Carving at the Foggy Bottom Townhouse tomorrow from 2-5pm. We’ll bid adeui to summer, welcome fall and ignore the fact that winter is barreling down on us with the force of a thousand trains.
Honors will provide the warm drinks and tasty treats, you provide a pumpkin or $5 to buy one of ours. Whole Foods has a really stellar gourd collection out right now, you really have to check it out. RSVP here (http://www.facebook.com/events/103813133112898/) so we know to expect you. 

We’ll watch Halloween movies, eat Halloween candy and try to defeat last year’s reigning champions of pumpkin carving competitions.
Good luck, and may the gourds be ever in your favor.

Pretty Pumpkin Painting

And carving! Come to the UHP Foggy Bottom Townhouse on Friday, October 27th to get your Fall on! Drink some sweet apple cider, eat some Halloween oreos, stuff yourself with candy and enjoy all your favorite Halloween movies! While you’re at it, carve a pumpkin that looks like your roommate, take a photo of it, win a prize, revel in your victory, take a nap. That last part should be done on your own time, cause the Halloween fun never stops in the townhouse!
The party is from 2-5 with a strict BYOP or BYO$5 policy to buy one of our pumpkins. Or you can just come and critique your peers, Simon Cowell style. Definitely bring any carving tools if you have them because our kits aren’t made for these mighty DC pumpkin breeds. We can’t wait to see you there!
Let us know you are coming by RSVPing here! http://www.facebook.com/events/103813133112898/

Pumpkin Carving!

As the great Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “If you won’t carve the pumpkins, who will?” The UHP is sad and lonely without Halloween decorations, spooky movies and beautifully crafted pumpkin art, but not for long! On Friday, October 26th, bring $5 or your own pumpkin to the Foggy Bottom Townhouse and carve it up. We’ll provide some carving kits, but they are notoriously unreliable, so if you have your own kit, bring em!
What’s one thing that isn’t unreliable? The delicious coffee, hot chocolate, apple cider and tasty, spoooky treats we’ll provide!
Watch Liz do Thriller!
Watch Catherine carve a pumpkin into the shape of her baby!
RSVP here!
