I am incredibly embarassed to admit that I did not say "jinkies" a single time last night. I blame it on the fact that I lost my voice and was trying not to talk too terribly much.
Last night I wowed the assembled, drunken masses at The Funhouse with my awesome Velma costume (pictures forthcoming). Two people guessed I was Enid from Ghost World. I WILL NEVER ESCAPE IT.
Steel Tigers of Death rocked in muumuus, and The Whore Moans dressed as characters from The Venture Brothers - the drummer was Hank as "The Bat", the bassist was Dean (complete with sweater vest), one guitarist was Dr. Venture (alas, he couldn't find a speed suit) and the other was Dr. Girlfriend (admittedly the weakest costume of the lot - he'd have been better off attempting Brock or Dr. Orpheus). Sadly, I left before Glenn Or Glennda (the genger-bending Misfits tribute), but I was starting to feel a little woozy towards the end of the Whore Moans' set; my voice was gone, my feet were killing me, and I was exhausted.
While waiting for the 44 in Wallingford, I suddenly heard the combined sound of laughter and feet pounding the pavement coming towards me. I turned to look, and saw the Mystery Gang running towards me - Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Velma bringing up the rear (not to brag, but my costume totally kicked hers' ass). I called out "Nice costumes!" thinking they were just passing by, but then the first three collapses on the bench next to me and their Velma said, "Can we take a picture with you?" I said sure, and posed with three random people before they said thanks and ran off. I watched them climb into a little silver car and drive off - that's right, they actually stopped just to take a picture with me. It was awesome.
I should have given them my e-mail and asked for a copy of the photo...oh, well. I got one on my camera at home, and some dude that Devin knows took a photo of me at the Funhouse, so Imma see if I can get that one as well.
Hope all y'all have an awesome Halloween as well!
