Pre Halloween...

Last night several of the crew ventured into pampers-town to drink with some alumni as it was homecoming. It also happened to be the weekend before Halloween, so the costumes were out in full force. There were the usual suspects: Pop cutlure references, Slutty nurses, slutty maids, and slutty sluts (wait, those were just the girls from Kams and CO's). However, there were some good costumes in and around town. A bunch of people from the dance department dress up in full costume and dance to Michael Jacksons "Thriller", pretty impressive.

Some of the knuckle-heads from the team went as pac-man and some ghosts. the beauty of this is that they made huge cardboard cutouts and chased each other around town on their bikes (i'll try to get some pictures posted).

There were also a bunch of kids dressed up as "traffic cones". They would run put into the middle of an intersection when the lights were all red and "block" traffic.

There was also some dude dressed up as hello kitty.
oh yeah, hello kitty must have been having a bad day, she was toting a machine gun.

I've never been a huge fan of getting dressed up on Halloween, and I think I finally figured out why. I seem to lack the raw creativity to come up with a good costume. My muse encourages me to work with the situation at hand, but lets me wallow in front of a blank canvas. Now if someone draws a portrait on that canvas, I'll be there with a big black marker to make my additions.
