oakenguyExcept for impending winter, and early darkness, and all that....
Halloween, Halloween, whee!
Friday night at the Castle; I spent it down in the dark dungeon cell again, being the Wrongly Caged Doctor. It seemed like it was Two For One Drink Night over at the nursing home---I've never seen so many white-haired drunks lurch through.
Some numbers: 1 tourist so scared she fell down on her butt; 4 kids taken off the property by the cops (for being jerks, destroying property, and rattling 'Cage Lady' s outfit trying to get her trained rats to attack her. Quelle morones.), one performer passing out after not getting enough oxygen inside her costume.
Saturday D and I actually were organized enough to get costumes together and party! D went through about 20 costume ideas that morning, including a geisha, Zhaan from Farscape, Gertrude Stein, a zombie and a Cirque du Soleil performer---eventually she got shades and a black coat to wear over her clown gear and decided on 'an undercover clown'. ("I'm inclownito!") I did her makeup (discovering a little late that most of my makeup brushes were left behind at the NERO site, argh!), got on my gothgear (yay, lace!) and headed down to GoodieHouse for drinking, debauchery, and an educational experience on why a voodoo doll costume is great in theory, but not well-designed for a crowded dance floor.
Pics to come!
