Old Halloween Sights

In the spirit of Halloween, here are some old Halloween pictures from 2003. I can't put up any new ones of this year because someone hasn't given them to me yet. Ahem.



The above picture includes a Lame Soldier Who Couldn't Think Of A Better Costume (Colin), Wolverine's head & claws (um, me), a Purple Bug (Karen), a Baseball Player (Weisheng), Yu-Gi-Oh (Albert) and a bunch of other people who were too lazy to get costumes. For shame.



Ryu (Chye) and a miserable, failed attempt at Strawberry Shortcake (Weixuan). Poor girl tried to dye her hair pink. Didn't work. She may be smiling, but she's weeping inside.



Chairman Mao would roll over in his grave. That is, if he had space to - he does look rather chunky. Anyhow, a Chinese Communist Party Member (Ah Tan) - even though it's not really a costume - and a Drag Queen (Wuyi).


Emily the Strange (Camille) and Wolverine (me)

I'm still very proud of that Wolverine costume, especially the claws. I spent three fuckin' hours making them.

While we're on the topic of Halloween, I had free passes to the preview of The Skeleton Key during the Nokia Starlight Cinema event a while ago. While it sounds pretty fun - sitting outdoors, lounging around on the grass while watching a movie - I've found that even if they do their best, the sound systems for these things inevitably sound rather shitty. Let's say you're sitting near the back, like we were. The place is so big that by the time the sound from the front speakers reaches you, you've already heard the same sound from the back speakers, and so you get a weird echo-ey effect.



But we didn't have to bear with the annoying sound for very long. The minute the actual movie started to play, the rain started to fall. And since we didn't pay for the tickets, we just said, "Fuck it," and went home. Besides, we'd spent the whole afternoon drinking, so it was a pretty fulfilling day already.



I heard it was a shitty movie anyway. So no big loss.
