This is Halloween

This IS Halloween. It's the season for costumes, and far, far too much chocolate.

I picked an obscure costume this year. Y'know...as opposed to a near non-existant costume. I'm costumed as Rebis, the Negative Man, from Grant Morrison's run on "Doom Patrol" who, incidentally, looks like the classic portrayel of the Invisible Man. I've got something like 15 feet of tensor bandages, wrapped around my head, with sunglasses, olive green shirt and trench coat, black jeans, and black steel toed boots. I went last night for the various college Halloween parties, and apparently I am incredibly scary to drunk girls in this costume. I DO end up looking more like the Invisible Man than Rebis, but eh...whatever works. Freaked some gals out, and there were quite a few that wanted to pull my mask down to see who I really was.

Tomorrow (tonight really), I'm going to a Mage: The Ascension Live Action Roleplaying game run by The Camarilla where I'll be wearing my costume as well. I play a snot nosed, over-confident media hacking anarchist, so part of the aspect of my costume is 7r4d3m4rk (his handle and the name most Mages use for him) being an ass and getting to be smug that no one knows who he's really supposed to be.

I'm doing some premature pondering for next Halloween, and wondering if I can work out some sort of Terry McGinnis/Batman: Beyond costume. God, that's gonna be hell.
