The day itself
Oct. 31st, 2006 08:46 pmAwesome sight of the night: maybe 10 people dressed as superheroes, riding by on bikes so their capes flapped in the wind.
So this may well have been my most tiring (though quite fun) Halloween of my adult life. Irritating things included: disapproving looks from elderly ladies, men hitting on me all day, having to explain my costume to every other customer (they barely noticed Sophia's), getting mistaken for a lamb or a cow. But it was pretty cool, too. My mom came by and chatted (she had blue and purple streaks in her hair for no apparent purpose) and the only person who actually recognized my costume while I worked was Lizzie who just stopped by for a moment - I thought she was in SLO...
Fun quotes!
"How may I help you, sir?" "I actually just came in to see you..." "Well, now that you're here, may I get you anything?" "Nah..." *guy looks at me wistfully then wanders out*
"Your costume's amazing!" "Thank you ma'am." "Wish I had nice legs like you."
"Great costume! I love the ...ears!" (guess where he was looking)
"If I were thirty years younger, I'd take you."
I walked down Russell street after work - wowee, the lady wasn't kidding when she said they go all out. The street was blocked off and crowded with people - they even attracted some dude who was campaigning for a ballot measure.
Oh, and I stopped by the pumpkin house again - I already thought they were awesome, but they're even better lit! There was a dragon! And the bagpipe? They could actually play it like a didgery-doo! (Did I spell that right?)
