My last minute costume


Chris and I went as Revenge of the Nerds-themed Greek geeks. These costumes were not much of a stretch for bookish academics. But this semester has been crazy and we have had little free time for costume brainstorming/creation. Going as a Tri-Lamb was Chris's idea entirely. My own laziness led me to co-opt it by going as an Omega Mu. Judy was my inspiration and Chris already resembles Anthony Edwards, the actor who played Gilbert. I realized when I got home that I forgot to finish cutting out the bottom of the Omega symbol. Oh well! Here is Judy:


We went to a Halloween themed punk show where local bands covered full sets of Joy Division, Kiss, the Misfits and more. It was great fun. The fog over Pittsburgh Saturday night was exceptional. It was also pretty creepy! I live very close to the oldest cemetery in the city, which added additional spookiness to our walk home. Chris looks like a zombie here.


What was your costume?

Happy Halloween! I was myself all day :( although I was tempted to join the many NYers who dressed as 99%, or a related Occupy Wall Street costume. Great costumes! How did you come up with the idea?

You two look great and it sounds like you had such fun! I'm dressing as Minnie Mouse, to match Kate, who's dressing as Minnie Mouse. I may or may not elaborate on that on the blog later tonight. =)

Happy Halloween, Jess!

I'm going to the NYC parade in an hour to give the costume one more wear!

Love the costumes!!! AND, my hubby and I used to go to a party at that cemetery every year but this year we were lame and sat at home and watched movies. It is eerily creepy on Halloween anyway, so with the fog, it's even more so.
