Halloween

[CrAz3D]

I'm going as a scarecrow.  I've incorporated iago's idea (go as a redneck) + something that apparently makes it like a costume.  So I'm wearing my normal clothes, plus a little straw on my cuffs.  Halloween party at "my" house this year (roommate owns it, but I'm living here, so...).  Lots of psychology PhD students.  I'm going to get the fuck judged out of me.

What plans do y'all have?

I'll be going to a party as Darth Vader. :) Yes, I was lame. I bought my costume.

[iago]

I'm doing nothing.

I'm going to kidnap every child who rings my doorbell and use them to make some sort of delicious stew.

As weird as this sounds, I've only ever seen storm troopers and Darth Vaders at two events: (1) when the yelling preachers are on campus; and (2) at basket ball games.  WTF


I hope kids don't come by.  I'll probably be too drunk to care to give them candy.

Saturday I'm going to some local pub with a co-worker, his GF, and some of their friends that's having some kind of Halloween themed night.  Sunday, I'm volunteering with the local animal welfare organization for their cat adoption event that's going to be Halloween themed.

I really like Trust's 'social butterfly' suggestion, seeing as how Halloween you generally dress up as someone or something you're not.  Just brainstorming how I'm going to make the idea into a costume.  I'm wondering if I could get away with just wearing my normal clothes... as long as I have bought or handcrafted butterfly wings (perhaps I could sew some with fabric and use some kind of wire, this could be a lot of work), and a giant white comic dialog bubble wired or mounted above my head somehow with some attached insect looking antennas/ feelers made of pipe cleaners.  I'm not sure what I'd put in the dialog text to convey the social part of 'social butterfly' though.  Any ideas?

SocialNetwork movie poster?  I dunno how to "social" that...

OMFG, thanks Crazed, while I'm not going to use your suggestion exactly... it did just gave me the idea to leverage graphical themes, recognizable imagery, nomenclature, and jargon associated with the internet social networking culture.  i.e. things like printing out a huge "Like" button, using a similar blue color scheme as FB, etc.  Thanks.

Nice.

scarecrow seeming lame.  I think I'll go as road kill.  should I just run over my clothes with my truck?  hmm

I would party but...

A) I'm going to the Bulls game (home-opener!)
B) I'm sick  >:(

It'd help if you were wearing clothes at the time. Just make sure whoever's driving brings a shovel.

[CrAz3D]

awww, glad to see you still care!

Put some black paint on your tires before you drive over the clothes.

If I can find a black mock-turtleneck I'll be dressing as Steve Jobs. Otherwise, I'll be dressing as a college student.
