Spoooooky Part 2
November 2, 2007 by Kevin Hazard, Web Hosting Evangelist in Evangelist's Corner
As you know, Halloween is known for candy, costumes and sequels. Hence, nothing would be more fitting to follow yesterday’s Spoooooky post than a sequel post with more candy and costumes.
Never to be outdone by the Houstonians, The Planet’s Dallas contingent had their own little hootenanny in celebration of All Hallow’s Eve. In this anthropological investigation of the Dallas festivities, we see several striking similarities.
Apparently, every Halloween event needs two things: A Mario, A Pirate, and A Ninja. You can see Hiram costumed as Mario in this picture, and we already established that you will not be able to catch a ninja on camera, so we just need to have a documented pirate for the party to be a complete success.
Whew! Now that Alicia helped us get those requirements out of the way, we can take a look around at some of the other characters making an appearance.
This is officially one of the easiest “Where’s Waldo?” pictures anywhere. Interviews with Waldo-finders will be featured in success stories on a first-come, first-served basis.
In my humble opinion, Jessica’s vending machine costume was one of the day’s most creative. Unfortunately, the novelty and humor was lost on Thuy, another pirate attendee … Shortly after this picture was taken, the chips and candy were pillaged and plundered. Let that be a lesson to everyone: Don’t take pictures with pirates.
Beehive hairdo? Check. Ridiculous amount of tattoos? Check. Bling? Check. Patrice’s Amy Winehouse got my vote for the best costume in Dallas. She and Adron strike a pose in the picture above.
Do you see Waldo in this picture? He’s a little sneakier… As an interesting side-story, Steve, the dapper “pilot” formerly paid the bills as an airport lounge singer. To give you an idea as to why he was “formerly” an airport lounge singer, we can simply investigate where he got the pilot’s uniform: A commercial pilot walked up to the stage in the middle of Steve’s set and gave him one of his extra uniforms on the condition that Steve never subject a crowd of people to his singing voice again.
