inspiration:
This summer
Jeff and I stopped by some party store where I saw the oddest looking rubber
pacman mask, so I decide I'm going to make a big pacman mask and tape on
a few ghosts. Come October I decide that I have absolutely no time
to try sewing a mask (especially since I don't really sew). I remember
I still have the all-black mask that has served me faithfully the past
few Halloweens (beginning with the 1996 "faceless college applicant #63465675"
costume) and decide that instead of having a pac man head, I can just be
the entire game board complete with ghosts, pellets, fruit, and ms. pacman.
After purchasing more than enough felt material and sewing on the stuff
furiously 2 hours before debut, I was pretty happy with the results:

First stop
Saturday night was the ice arena. The cool thing about wearing a
mask is that no one can tell who you are. Unfortunately masks aren't
allowed on the ice... bah humbug

next stop:
The Ewok Village apartment party (I don't think it has a real name yet).
Artie's Alvin getup kicked @$$. I'm trying to figure out who the person
Paul is touching is in the picture...

| The group hit the Skulls party around
1:30 or 2. I was very impressed by 2 guys wearing Power Rangers costumes
(complete with tights). There were some pretty clever costumes, but
too many devils. When I got back to the apartment I just had to get
a shot of the "Surviver" passed out on the couch :-) |
