Okay, now Halloween is coming up. The downside is that it's on a Tuesday this year. But there's the weekend before.
Anyway, what plans have you made, if any? Costumes? Anyone in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley?

I'll be in class from 5:45 - 10:00 unless the professor is cool and gives us day off which I highly doubt....

Halloween? Haven't thought of it. I am off in the middle of the week, so i'm sure i'll come up with a plan that will include beer. But as far as what i'm going to be, i haven't thought of that. I might take a trip back to the 80's and be a 80's rocker minus the big hair.
Most likley be a big party on the weekend before, and tuesday i'd be sitting at home eating candy.

Princess Peach and, if I have time, I'm going to also make a Toadstool costume for my puppy :)

If I would go as Kevin, I would just need to have my hair darkened and get DIGG engraved in my macbook.

Sarah, do you sew?
I'm trying to decide between a pirate (I have this one and fishnets and the hat) (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a386/ms_erie/untitled.jpg), or in the ren gown I made in three days:

Since I only had three days' notice, I'm pretty proud of it, though will redo the bodice for a better fit. It's all silk, so is amazing in person.
But the pirate outfit is so sexy.
I don't know, I guess that I'll decide when I make plans. Any Bay Area people want to go out?

Sarah, do you sew?
Yes. I never have time to, so I'm hoping that I've started this project far enough in advance that it'll actually get done :)

I was going to go as an NPC from World of Warcraft. I was going to make an exclamation point that would go over my head with glowing yellow LED's in it and hand out "quests". Not so sure what I'm going as now, but that was a fun idea for a bit!

Either going as V from V for Vendetta or Randal from Clerks fame. Probably Randal so I can do the Randal. I am going to get the entire Mooby's Funployee outfit from Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash.
Work is throwing a Halloween party. So yeah, expect some random, drunken posts that night! Woohoo!

Pirate over my awesome-as-all-hell ren gown? Tempting. I wish I had a boyfriend - I'd ask him to do something in a pirate outfit, be my male wench. I got that costume for a poetry slam do do every Tuesday when we had a pirate night in August. I was the only one with a pirate hat, so was kind of the captain. I'm wearing that outfit tomorrow.

Ramz, you're only too old when you think you are. Spend a Halloween on the Castro (also known as the super-gay area - seriously, lots of gay pride, but awesome festivals). All adults. Most in costumes more elaborate than you can imagine. You'll wonder if they have anything better to do than live for Halloween. (Answer: No.)
Wish I were gay. :(
