In this episode I like the guys interactions with each other and how excited they were to get to break out their costumes and go to this party.

The three guys sitting on the couch observing the party around them- Sheldon because he has no interest in joining and Leonard and Raj because they lack the confidence ( or ability) to talk to anyone.

Meanwhile the prospect of getting shot down never stopped Howard. I loved his (misplaced) confidence.

I have to say this was one of the first episodes that Leonard kind of annoyed me. In his effort to score points and battle with Kurt he just put Penny in the middle of it. Yes, Kurt was a total Neanderthal, but Leonard was trying to provoke him to make himself look better. In the middle of Pennys party. Making her have to break it up. That's when I really knew that Leonard would never be my favorite character.
Oh wow, oh wow, what an adventure.
