Post your Halloween costume here!

Did anyone go out for Halloween last weekend?

I was at the VERY (in)famous Madison Halloween party on State St. and the night ended with 75000-80000 drunks walking (or trying to walk) on the main street, over 250 arrests and riots that had to be dispersed with pepper spray, and this for the third year in a row. Oh well... I had a blast nevertheless.

My brother, my cousin and some buddies went out to party. My bro went as an all-American fatass and my cousin as a pimp.
As I was running out of ideas for a decent costume, I had two last options: either a geisha (I had my shit from Japan with me) or Wednesday Adams, but I didn't want to get my yukata dirty so my cousin came with the solution when he reminded me of an oath I made after I saw a KICKASS movie some time ago.... See if you can figure this one out (that's my real hair, BTW, so I didn't need to spend $ on a wig):

Warming up at a house party before going to the street:

I wasn't drunk yet when I took this picture, but there wasn't any room in the car, so I had to go inside the trunk. Quite a few people freaked out when they saw this:

What about you?

Here's some pictures of me and my band, Hejira, when we played a halloween show on saturday. That's me with the Children of Bodom shirt.

...no we're not a black metal band, and we don't normally wear corpse paint, just for halloween. There will be more pictures from the show up on our site in a day or two, i'm just too lazy to upload the rest right now.

I did the black metal thing the day before. We played a small show for some friends. the batteries were dead in my camera however so...no pictures.

set included...

Withstand the Fall of Time
THus spake the Nightspirit
Mourning Palace
Curse You all Men
Eruption (emperor)
Master's Apprentices
Deliverance
Travel In Stygian

it was pretty cool. We made ourselves some arm bands with some ridiculously large metal spikes on them. THick leather dyed black. They're fuckin cool.

I'll get pictures when I have time to remember to replace the camera's batteries.

I need to get the pics of me in my DJ Grimm getup. I looked like a cross between a bloody black metalist and a Sith.

BTW...you are Sadako! Awesome idea btw! And nice costumes.

Nice to see someone is familiar with the Japanese original as well. People thought that was fucking creepy. It just came naturally...

BTW Tal, will you be in the NY gig or staying in Hell? 'cause I just used that Delta voucher to buy me a trip to the gig Albany (Latham show), then I'll be staying in Westchester with some relatives and heading for the headlining show in Long Island two days after that. It would be cool if you could make it.

yeah RING - both the jp and remake versions, were the best movie in years!! that's the first thing i thought when i saw that picture of you in the trunk. creepy...................................

I thought I was being smart because I knew that...well, anyway, I only saw the original and I thought it was a kickass good movie...rather disturbing....
Btw, we don't do Halloween in the Netherlands...something like that in April or something....that lasts about a week, though

In Peru (where I was born) usually only children go out and that's mostly for the candy in Halloween. Teenagers or adults like to borrow more from Brazil (Carnaval) but they don't dress up nor dance. What we do is throw water balloons at pedestrians or cars during all the month of February. Heh, one time I didn't have any balloons nor bags (our alternative if there wasn't any $ to buy balloons) to fill them with water, so I just took some wet toilet paper and threw it at people... One of them fell RIGHT on my neighbor's bald spot (it had to be a miracle because I was under 10 and threw it from a 4th floor down to the street) who was standing there peacefully, even though I was aiming at the boy who took his shirt off right beside him. It still cracks me up after over 10 years, though.
