Submit Best Costume!

Happy Halloween and Unhappy last day of Rock-Tober (OK, OK, all good things must come to an end)! It is always a bit problematic when Halloween falls outside of a weekend. Good parties need the weekend, but is dressing up on the Friday before premature? Not really, but then you end up dressing up again on Saturday and costume loses some novelty. Anyway you look at it, Halloween this year was less than spectacular for whatever reason.
Kristin and I tried, but all the parties were a bit "soft" despite our optimism. But we still had a good time at a local "raver" party in downtown Portland. Save for myself, which I'm not picturing for obvious reasons, everyone in our small group was looking festive. I was going to be my anti-hero, Brian Adams, but it just didn't come together. So I went as a failed "Dick Head" by dressing upside down...yeah, it was a stretch. But there was NO shortage of great costumes at the downtown party. My favorite, and possibly best costume I've ever seen, was a complete, flawless Star Wars Stormtrooper complete with gun. This "dude" passed me in the hallway and I thought for a moment that someone had drugged my water. The costume was impeccable and looked exactly like the picture posted above!

I encourage anyone reading my blog to submit this years' best costume in my comment section.

...and yes, I'm on my way down to the Lompoc brewery soon for one last pint of Rock-Toberfest brew.

Cheers.
