The first rule of Halloween costumes is don't wear something that interferes with your drinking.

Surprisingly, this costume does not interfere with my drinking. One part of the black mesh for the mouth is unattached so I can reach out to grab my drink and bring it underneath. I can be a stealthy drunk sesame street alien then. Also I made it last year so I don't even have to work this year. Another friend is going as Oscar the Grouch, and he'll have Slimey with him. I'm excited!

Mine's really last minute (I thought of it while getting dressed yesterday morning), but I'm Inigo Montoya, barely.

I'm wearing my Inigo Montoya shirt from Think Geek, and I'm gonna carry around my electric foil, and my girlfriend said she was gonna draw in a mustache and beard w/ her eye liner or some makeup thing.
(http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/inigo_montoya.jpg)
yeah it's lame, but my plan of going as my friend Parth fell through when his mother decided he was going to be going home this weekend, and without him (as me) next to me, it wouldn't be interesting at all.

My girlfriend's going as Abbey from NCIS--dyed her hair black for it, too.  hot  :-D

Mine is pink too, but the lighting was not so great at that house. The only downside to the costume is that it gets really hot, so I had it off most of the night cuz the bar was packed so I was sweaty, and the party was packed so I had it off. It's actually really easy to make, I think I found an instructible  (http://www.instructables.com/id/Yip-Yip-Costume/)for it last year. The only problem I had was finding the black mesh, I ended up buying a Halloween headband that was like a black veil and tearing that apart.

Post by: jhocking on 31 Oct 2009, 16:16
man this is such a letdown

I haven't given out candy for years because I've lived in apartment buildings so I was kinda looking forward to doing it this year. But because this is still a second floor apartment, not the entire house, it's proving rather difficult for me to greet trick-or-treaters. Mostly I don't even hear people knocking on the door, or if I do hear then by the time I get to the front door they are already gone. Meanwhile, it's pretty awkward if I wait around the front door, because then I'm just standing around in front of my downstairs neighbor's apartment.

I dumped two bags of candy into a basket for giving out, but I've barely given out any of it, this blows.

yeah...uh I guess it could be said I was not only a surfer but patrick swazye too (r.i.p.)  A new girl showed up that has never been to any of the tango practices, ive only been doing this for about a month but the officers of the tango club had me show her how to dance.  I showed her the basics and had her dance with a couple of the other guys so she can get more expierence with others.  At one point she was just on the side lines (well really just hanging back in a corner watching) and I pulled her out to dance, she said "no im not very good."  and I said "no one puts baby in the corner, lets dance." she had a blast.  Too bad I didnt get a picture with her.  I was flattered that she thought I was the club's tango instructer, she was shocked to find out that ive only been doing this for a month.  I had a good time teaching her.  Then there was this other girl ive only danced with a couple of times before and today she showed up and was shocked at how good I was.  Come to think of it, yeah my halloween was pretty awesome.

monday I get to show the sisters of a latin sorority how to tango.

Thank you.

I had fun!  I got invited to my first Halloween party this year (yes, I am a lameface who never got invited anywhere in high school) and what did we do?  Watched a couple movies, ate pizza and fried chicken, and went trick-or-treating.  One of my friends was dressed as Santa, and there was a professional Santa living in one of the houses we went to.  It was pretty funny.

I don't usually hate halloween, and I quite enjoyed this one until about midnight when my friend starting puking up everywhere (including in the taxi, which cost £90... there goes the rest of this term's food money). It took several hours to get her to bed and the worst of it is that she woke up at 8.30 this morning absolutely fine.

Go to a small party a friend is hosting: check
Get bored and decide to return sister's truck, end up hanging out at her place until quarter to six: check

My Halloween was pretty fun. My friends all dressed like Team Zissou and I dressed like a ghost. At one point I stole one of my friend's red hats and said that I was the ghost of Esteban. There was this dude dressed as James Dean post-car crash who just suddenly started hanging out with us and he wouldn't stop telling me how soft my voice is. Then I was being all charming and witty to an attractive girl who dressed as Joan from Mad Men.

I didn't dress up but I did spend the first half of my evening at the High on Fire/Converge/Mastadon/Dethklok show.   I then spent the second half of the evening backstage hanging out in hospitality with the bands and even got a tour of the Dethklok tour bus.   Just woke up with a pounding, hangover-esque headache, despite not drinking anything.   

All told, a pretty good evening.

Halloween was fun times.  People were taking tons of pictures at the first party I went to, so hopefully I'll get some of those and be able to share them with y'all.  Because it seems like the thing to do, I'll post what happened:

Waited around for my friends from my department to let me know when their party was starting.
Never found out that information and subsequently was just preparing to go to another party when they called me all "where are you?"
So, I went to that party and everyone was crazy drunk.  It was fun for a bit, but then I checked out to go to a party around the corner from my apartment (yay for no driving).  There were awesome costumes, though.
Hung out with some really entertaining people from other departments.  Talked about everything from New Orleans politics, to quantum mechanics, to cheese fondue (with a Swiss person).

Half the fun of going out at Halloween, and the easiest way to make a New Friend (at least for the night) is to try to figure out what they were. People kept yelling "ELMO!!!!!!!!!" at me all night. Liz's lumberjack, that guy she was all "hey that lumberjack over there is pretty cute. i think he's a lumberjack?", I asked her if she'd talked to him already and when she said no I was all "HEY! Are youuuuuu a lumberjack?" and he said "Iiiiiii'm a lumberjack, and I'm ok! I sleep all night and I work all day!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clPYfaTvHT0) He probably would not have sung if I didn't ask him what he was. Some people are obvious, and some are a little tougher! And that's what makes it fun!

And I was a yip yip (technically though they are called the Sesame Street Martians) though I am pretty sure no one already knew that. (NOT ELMO.)

One girl at one of the parties I was at went as her research.  Oddly enough, I was not able to guess, but at least it started an awesome conversation about our respective researches.

at the tango bit, there was a girl dressed like a girl from the 50s, we all didnt know what she was until she told us haha.  One dude (the club officer) was inspector gadget, he had the trench coat, and a hat with cardboard roater and handlebars.

Since it was Halloween, I went as what all students fear the most: An adult.

Me making fun of Fuller who was dressed up as Edward Cullen on the 30th.  He did it as a joke because of a comment a library patron made.  God that was funny.
Title: Re: HALLOWEEN '09: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
Post by: Bastardous Bassist on 02 Nov 2009, 08:39
I didn't dress up but I did spend the first half of my evening at the High on Fire/Converge/Mastadon/Dethklok show.   I then spent the second half of the evening backstage hanging out in hospitality with the bands and even got a tour of the Dethklok tour bus.   Just woke up with a pounding, hangover-esque headache, despite not drinking anything.   

All told, a pretty good evening.

The show at the Patriot Center?  I just found out my buddy was at that show, too (which, I suppose I should have expected).  Apparently, in a crazy surprising twist of how things should be, Mastodon fucked up and Gene Hoglan wasn't a robot-precise drummer.
Title: Re: HALLOWEEN '09: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
Post by: A Wet Helmet on 02 Nov 2009, 11:51
Yep at the Patriot Center.

I'm going to have to disagree with your buddy...  I thought Mastodon was fantastic although Brent couldn't be heard very well.  He griped later that he used to have a lady that ran his monitor for him but she quit last tour.  From what I gathered the mix in the monitor was bad and he just wasn't standing close enough to the mic for the crowd to hear him.  I also thought that Gene's feet were unbelievable.  I have metronomes that don't keep time as well as he does.

Where was your friend at?  The Patriot Center has the worst acoustics known to man.  It's really easy to have a bad seat which lends itself to less than satisfying performances.

He said that they had to restart a song because somebody missed an entrance, and they had to extend a bridge because somebody lost count.  Also, his specific comment was on the feet and how they just weren't quite precise.  I didn't ask where he was, but considering we've grown up in the area (that was actually the same location where we had our high school graduation), I expect that he was in a good spot, and I also trust him to judge some drums because he and I used to play together for about six years.

Amusing story about Gene that was witnessed by a guitarist who was on tour by with his band and Gene was following them around for some reason (the probable cause was that he was hooking up with their singer):
One time he comes into their hotel room in Denver sits down in the room chair and asks: "hey, mind if I smoke?"  Everyone's like, "nah, man - you're Gene Hoglan! Go ahead!"  And he pulls out his lighter and holds it up to their lampshade, setting it on fire and guffawing loudly.
