We met at a Reddit Halloween party. I dressed up for the costume contest and won. Dave did not come in costume but what he lacked in costume he made up for with his outgoing personality and humor. I had a fun evening but I wasn't sure that I would ever see any one from the party again. Dave tracked me down via social media. We were chatting, facebook as our conduit, when I found out that the 4ft pink Care Bear that was handed to me after my costume contest win was not actually my prize. The hefty critter was actually their Reddit group's mascot. They just wanted me to hold the mascot for a photo op. Not take it home with me. Dave helped me and the Care Bear through those troubling times.
