Pumpkin faces in the night

Last year, I learned that the fastest route to a sad Halloween is affixing a shoddily constructed M.O.D.O.K. helmet to your face with Krazy Glue. As such, I wanted to celebrate All Hallows' Eve in a considerably lower-impact fashion.


If things got any lower-impact, I'd've just gone as Kevin Smith again.

Sure, I made efforts to secure a complete outfit of shining yellow, and even had made plans to fashion a tail out of some fabric store findings. As it turns out, they don't really make an extraordinary selection of yellow clothing for fat guys. I found a thirty-dollar pair of yellow sweatpants, some overpriced tracksuits, and t-shirts with designer labels that apparently add twenty dollars to whatever a t-shirt should actually cost.

By that point, I was too lazy to even schlep up to Queens for some yellow fleece.

Still, I owe many thanks to the lady on Etsy who fashioned an extra-large Pikachu helmet for my enormous dome. It's so warm and fashionable! And I managed to dress it up just enough to make me adorable for our first Scale of Six gig. Pika-pi, indeed.

Thanks again to everyone that came out last Friday, and a belatedly Happy Halloween to all!
