UWTL yet again on a Saturday night. First of all it is Saturday, secondly it is Halloweekend so it was bound to happen.
Don't know about you, but I found myself waiting til the umpteenth hour, literally, to get a costume together. I'd thought about it for weeks but just never put any time in. By the time I started making moves to get a few simple items to assemble a rockin costume, either it was too late, things weren't in stock or they were sold out. I ended up goin as a broke ass Pau Gasol, wearing my faded jersey shirt which I wear quite often on non costume days, as well as my buddy's replica Laker shorts. Sports Authority had seemingly every player except Pau, jersey wise, thus my accuracy wasn't quite up to snuff.
Also I think I found my costume for next year. I almost went for a much more awesome and fairly simple nostalgia pick, that of Sloth from THE GOONIES. Very easy costume consisting of jeans, a blue superman shirt, red suspenders, nikes and a bandana and pirate hat. There was certainly not enough time for prosthetic work in the facial deformities department but even with that, Superman shirts were sold out at every Hot Topic and Comic Book store in town (don't worry, I didn't spend my day running around to all of them, I just called a few). Next year if you happen to see me on Halloween, you can expect a lot of "Hey you guys!!!" that's for sure.
Disclaimer: this is a picture of the Sloth action figure, pre shirt rip to reveal Superman shirt beneath. I know my Goonies.
