I haven't a clue myself. I'm always last minute.
I did get my dog a sweet purple gorilla costume for the Tompkins Sq Park dog Halloween parade though.

I hate dressing up too... which is why I was Billy Mitchell from 'The King of Kong' last year. Nice, simple, obscure... only Bobby Moynihan knew who the hell I was all night.

So what's everyone elses plans?

2006: a generic doctor/scientist, because I happen to own a lab coat
2007: Arthur Dent, odd because (1) almost nobody knew who I was and (2) my yet-to-be roommate was also Arthur Dent, wearing the exact same K-mart bathrobe
2008: probably the generic doctor/scientist again

Going to Mass as the next day is a Catholic Holy Day of obligation and I won't be able make the morning masses on the day itself.

Then the parade. I plan on marching with a muppet like puppet and entertaining young children as I usually do. I'll wear a wrestler's mask to get into the parade as police officers don't find puppet plus clown nose to be a viable costume, although policewomen do think the puppet is adorable, wander around the city looking at people in crazy costumes, then head up to the Magnet by 11 for a show I'm involved with.

I dressed as Arthur Dent in 1994 and I had the same problem...plus, Halloween was on a Monday night and everyone had celebrated on the weekend so no adult in the whole city of Chicago was in a costume on Halloween proper except me.

I'm still proud of keeping a goldfish cracker in my ear the whole evening to represent a babelfish.

I had this idea of dressing up as a Frankenhipster (sewing together a patchwork outfit of trendy clothes and spouting hip, pretentious sayings throughout the night) however I don't think I'll be able to go out, buy the materials and put them together on time.

As for what I'm doing the night of, I'm probably doing very little, maybe handing out candy at my apartment, most likely will end up at the Magnet for Dr. Oddbody.

Still need to get the bright green labcoat. If I can't, I have a back-up plan.

I regrew my beard for one reason: to make this Halloween costume a reality.



This Halloween, I'm takin' it to the streets.

I wanted to dress up as Biden but I think it would be too difficult to pull off recognizably and anyway, I don't have anywhere to go for Halloween. So I'll probably just wear my big wig again.

I have not posted on the IRC since May, but I am so proud of this idea I logged in expressly to write this.

(Unfortunately I was sick all week and did not finish my costume in time, disappointing millions)

I'm gonna be Riff-Raff from Rocky Horror.

This will be the first time in years I've worn a real Halloween costume, instead of just being a joyless spoilsport, or putting on every weird-looking article of clothing or accessory I own and telling people to guess what I am and saying that whatever they guessed (most commonly "weird homeless dude") was correct.
