Halloween was a smashing success. I danced. I drank. I saw my friends. Fewer people recognized my costume than I had hoped, but genius is always under-appreciated. Besides, I was not alone. Devon failed to recognize Lily in her I Have Been Turned Evil By Tim Curry dress from Legend and it took me a moment to spy Matt's hammer tee-shirt and realize

I knew that I should know the Lilly costume, which is why she was the only contestant who I actually allowed near the mic. After two attempts at getting her to speak louder than a mouse whisper into the world's loudest and most sensitive microphone, and still being unable to hear a word she said, I had to give up.

Which is why you introduced her as, "Ladies and gentlemen: some goth girl."

Genius.

no, I brought her up and said "and we have...", then stuck the mic in her face. she repeated her response twice. I couldn't hear at all what she said, and didn't want to spend a lot of time on anyone. I gave about 15 seconds per contestant and she got about 25 seconds. you can hear her in the webcast a bit, but I absolutely could not hear her either from the mic or directly from standing a foot from her.

I do need to use something other than "not gonna cut it" next year.

"...a goth girl, everybody!" Yep. You really nailed that one.

I know, I fucked up.
I should have said "a really quiet goth girl"
