Grateful Dead Music Forum

hey everybody, i have a halloween party coming up in a little bit, and i have no idea what to do for a costume. i want to do something good, funny, whatever. doesn't have to be Dead related, just any ideas would be good, and there seems to be alot of creative people here, so i figured it'd be a good place for ideas. i'm in college, so i dont have a lot of money to spend, so keep that in mind. i look forward to hearing what people have to say, thanks!

go naked with just a pair of roller skates. You can be a Pull Toy!

i made a robot suit outta 12 and 24 pack beer cartons. the monicker was "BeerBot" everybody loved it and i got kinda hammered lol. if you go with just a 12 on your head its "Sir Drinksalot"

me with the box, and my bass player Geno
we were raging that night, at least 4 years ago.

A couple years back I wore white pants, white t shirt, and a white pimp hat and pinned about 100 glow sticks to my body and hat and went as a rave.

last year i got me an uncle sam hat, bow tie, and a plastic pig mask....was talking a lot about building a fence...a fence to keep them out....to keep us safe...in our homeland...but i digress....

me and my girlfriend are being Jerry and Janis

i finally figured it out. i decided i'm gonna go as a munchkin from the lollipop guild, that dance is really funny. on a sidenote, the Dire Wolf from Dicks Picks 14 is awesome, after you read this, go listen to it.

on that note, i think 600 pounds of sin would be a fine halloween costume

put on a white tshirt and write on it: IM THE DEVIL
is scarry

the other day i watched Ernest Goes to Camp. just go as Ernest P Whirl and lay people out with some corny one-liners. or going as a Canadian might be pretty funny (if played right)....(no offense to Canadians, though easy to mock, a great people of the world)

Years back when Garth Brooks was so popular with some section of the populace, heh heh, I borrowed a nice Darth Vader plastic head from a star wars fan I worked with and put a tiny cowboy hat on top. I was Garth Vader!

A few of my favorite standy-by costumes:

A Flag shirt (or drape the flag around you) and write FUCK on your forehead and viola, you're Abbie Hoffman


Pith helmet, hawaiian shirt, dark aviator glasses, bottle of wild turkey, cigarette and holder and you are Hunter Thompson!

v neck white tee, goatee, guatamalan shorts and a white russian and you are THE DUDE

Ripped jeans, ramones t-shirt, small sunglasses and black wig and you're Joey Ramone

All of these can be embellished, but they're simple, cheap and work well. Enjoy my favorite holiday!

just hold out your hand and say your going as a puddle and ask if any one can help

be a penis

be yourself, dont act, you have to trust yourself, dont put on masks
