I went down to the 34th Annual Freaker's Ball at the Montbleu casino resort in Lake Tahoe for the 3rd time in a row this year to check out all the awesome costumes. There was a $1000 prize for best costume and everyone was dressed to the nines. I managed to get some great footage of the event. Check it out.
By far the coolest costume of the night: an Astronaut balancing on a huge moon rock
Elvis is still in the building.
Dog the bounty hunter and friends.
Fireman showing off his big hose.
Katy Perry and the guy from LMFAO... Party rockers in the house tonight!
