DPP Halloween Costume Ball in Photos

Take a peek inside the biggest Halloween party in Dublin

The Annual DPP (Dublin Party People) Halloween Costume Ball ghosted back into Dublin on Saturday night. For the third year in a row, the party, hosted by Puran Moorjani and Todd Padnos, has provided a night of ghoulish entertainment for a wide array of Dublin residents.

Close to three hundred guests, decked out in their Halloween costume alter egos, showed up to the Dublin Senior Center to celebrate Halloween on Saturday. Moorjani says the party started out at his house three years ago and just kept growing until it was moved to the new location to accommodate the burgeoning group.

Dublin Patch stopped by to see what the howling at the moon was all about.

Denise Holt of Dublin says she looks forward to the ball every year.

"It really is the party of the year in Dublin," said Holt. "Puran Moorjani and his wife, Nima, and Todd Padnos and his wife, Irene, do all the work in planning it and making it happen. They are really great advocates for our city and the community spirit."

The party, which has a food and an open bar, was entertained by the live music of Meredith & the Mercenaries and DJ Bobwont.

You cannot compare the behavior of a wild animal versus a domesticated animal.

No offense, but keep drinking the kool-aid. I don't think all pit bulls are dangerous anymore thanRead More I think great white sharks will get every surfer, but God knows when they bite the person being bitten is in grave trouble!

Actually, Pit Bulls are one of the most well-behaved, well-trained dogs out there, to both theirRead More owners and their familes, if they are trained to be that way. Only drawback to Pits, though, is that they drool a lot, just like any other hunting dog out there. Back in 2009, there was a story in Berkeley about how a Pit Bull saved her owner's life in a house fire, and all anybody could see was that it was a Pit Bull and nothing more. If you train a dog to have a nice and sweet disposition, guess what, the dog will have a nice and sweet disposition. And if you train a dog to fight, maim and kill, guess what it's gonna do? Doesn't matter the breed. I've known Dachshunds who were mean and resorted to biting in an instant as I have known Pit Bulls who were nice--but slobbered a lot. And about the only reason that Pits have the reputation that they do out there is more to do with the viewpoint of the person who believes that all Pits are dangerous to begin with and that perhaps one of their other biases may be a work here, like they hate people whom they believe to be "trash" or "thugs" perhaps, but that's more an indication of their prejudice than their experience with these dogs or any other breed out there. I've known Springer Spaniels out there that started out as sweet dogs with nice dispositions, but as they aged and their brians atrophied into cancer, they turned into vicious dogs and had to be put down. Like people, dogs are individuals, too.
