So on Halloween night, Valerie and I drove over to the Evaline to give that party a shot. Needless to say, we didn’t make it in. So we headed home and carved our two remaining pumpkins, listening to Comcast’s “Sounds of the Season” station.
My Homsar pumpkin. His hat has since collapsed.
At 1:20am (corrected for daylight savings time) the last Halloween song (Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde) ended. The next song was Frosty the Snowman. We witnessed the official changing of the seasons from Halloween to Christmas! I was a little surprised that Comcast couldn’t give Halloween at least until the next morning… it’s a pretty late-night holiday, especially on a weekend! But we now know… Halloween ends at 1:20 that night.
My award for best Halloween costume would go to a couple I saw as I drove up Liberty headed to Evaline Street. It took me a while to recognize them, and I wish I could have gotten a picture, but I was driving. He was dressed as Sgt. Joe Friday in P.A.G.A.N. infiltration outfit (complete with goat leggings) and she was dressed as the virgin Connie Swail, both from Dragnet (1987). My Halloween heroes! The combo of Lonestar, Barf, Pizza the Hut and Vinnie from Spaceballs was pretty impressive too.
The happy couple.
My friend Josh saw them at Silky’s!
That pumpkin looks great! Did you send a pic to the site?
I didn’t… I got the pattern from the site, so it seemed a little unnecessary to send.
he had the mohawk and everything? that’s dedication.
yeah, i’d agree: pretty heroic.
The duotone mohawk was what first caught my eye… it took the leggings to fully contextualize the costume.
