Halloween

We had a costume party at work this year for Halloween, so I dug out my Trinity-from-The-Matrix plastic coat. I've used it for three parties now, and I think this is it for this particular costume - the seams are falling apart. Not to mention that the Matrix was a while ago now, and I got some "What are you? A spy?" questions. But I also got some compliments, which is always nice!



Most people at work went all out with the costumes, and it was a fun day at the office. Click on the picture to see more from the party. If I have to have a costume next year, I'm going to go for something more breathable. That plastic gets sticky-sweaty.

On a side note, we put a huge bowl of candy out to avoid barking-wildly-at-the-doorbell all night. The honor system worked well for a while - I'm guessing as long as the trick-or-treaters were young enough for their parents to be there. But somebody came by after dark and cleaned us out, almost taking the bowl with them as well. I had been checking on it periodically, and the hoodlums-in-training made off with almost half of what we bought. Boo on them. Maybe they'll go into sugar shock...
