God, things wer CRAZY that halloween week. I only NOW got to download the halloween pix off the camera. I hope you enjoy the belated post. If you can’t stomach Halloween goodness this late in the game, just wait until next year and read it then. Otherwise… wait a few days, ’cause I’m posting our Dia Del Los Muertos Adventures just after this.

Here’s our Pumpkins…

My first cyclops died due to warm weather, but it’s always the same idea. The kitty one could have been better, but by that point, I was in a rush. It’s a creepy cat. dig it.

    

Rudy’s punkin was a bit more elaborate- he had way more time. He carved a Frankenstein face into the front, and spraypainte dthe bride of frankenstein on the side. Both were pre-existing stencil pieces, he just had to lay them out on the pumpkin and carve like a fiend.

Okay, he used a dremel. Rudy has christened himself the patron saint of Power Tools. And koalas. Okay, I said he was the Koala saint. Cause I am scared shitless of powertools. Oo! Blog entry.

We did stuff on the Saturday before Halloween, cause that’s just what you do. We also had plans for halloween night , so we decided to pull out the stops Saturday, and key it down for Wendesday.

Anyway.

  

Th bag said it was a Harajuku Girl. And since I knew what a Harajuku girl was and no one else did, I went w/ it. People just said “wo, that’s CRAZY!” Which was fine, they didn’t ask Questions. I didn’t mind that I was upstaged either.

As for Rudy- oh man, this costume was 2 years in the making. That’s an official Oderus mask, though Oderus’ mask has change since the last album… less pustules. A large amount of the pieces were bought last year, and others were repurposed from his own wardrobe. This was the kind of costume that people used foul language in exclamation. And the best part- people recognized him! One fellow did show his lameness by stating he was an LOTR guy which promptly made us go “wah? Man, no.” and ignore him.

So we went to the Catalyst, a few good Cover bands played. We were’t in for more than a few minutes before Rudy was chosen to enter the costume contest. Cool.

We saw TurboNegra- a Turbonegro cover band. We had only heard of Turbonegro in passing, bt really liked the sound these girls made… we plan on picking up a few CD’s soon. We were so swimming in the crowd, it didn’t occur to me to take pix. Sawwy.

We did however, get some pix of Hell’s Belles, the AC/DC cover band. They were hawt. The Angus dame had blond dreadlocks and took off her top. Rowdy good time. She started with Johnson stuff, which I don’t dig so much, but towards the end she swung for Bon Scott, who I adore. So rocknesses.

After their set, the Costume Contest began. There were a lot of good costumes. Some were obnoxious skanks. Of course. Some showed real ingenuity.

Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander were totally rad, they recognized Rudy and he was really into his character. There was also a Chef and a Lobster, Bettie Paige, Dog the Bounty Hunter, evena bear attack victim with the BIGEST TEDDYBEAR I’D EVER SEEN strapped to his back… really great stuff.

Rudy took the stage and hammed it up. He didn’t place, but got a great crowd reaction. He almost didn’t wear his costume, but by the end of the night, he was pretty happy w/ it.

You know.I should probably write about actual Halloween night, but it’s not that huge, so I’ll just cut this into a two parter. Monday Night Football at the Pub! Wish me luck.
