Love the Jackson Pollock painting idea, though.

Matt | This was my costume from 2005 back when I was playing guitar. It was pretty inexpensive but effective.
No Halloween show this year unfortunately.  |

We did work up Monster Mash specifically for this show, though.

| | | | Band is going as the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale.....
I'm grandma (pre wolf). Nice easy comfy costume! We're talking a nightgown, slippers, hair sprayed white (hopefully the walmart stuff works), and I already wear glasses. Going to put up a bunch of props (walker, bottles of medicines, bag of cat litter, stuffed cats, etc) on stage. Whole costume and props cost me $20... thrift stores work great for looking for costume stuff!
Two years ago band went as Blue Man Group, last year we went as superheroes and I was CatWoman.
I like dressing up, course the first consideration is "Can I play while wearing this?". Second is "Am I going to roast in it?". Considering right now it's in the 80's......and isn't going down much after the sun goes down, no fake fur costumes for me!

| | | We had a last minute emergency realization..... turns out the guitarist had trouble singing in the mask (the mouth went right at the nose) so we switched and I ended up being wolf and he ended up being grandma. See a man wearing a nightgown all night was well worth wearing a mask all night  . Scary part is the nightgown (huge on me) fit him pefectly!
So I had a modified wolf mask... the tonguue had been cut out for breathing room and the eyes made bigger. I spraypainted (yes spraypaint) my lower arms and legs brown, and then the plastic/fur gloves ended up being perfect feet. Nothing on my hands obviously! I had a guy tell me he'd give me a dollar if I managed to keep the mask on the whole night...I did but no dollar   . The party thrower even came up to me and told me that I could take it off if I needed to, one set was enough. But it really wasn't bad and I could people watch bwahahah.
Was a pretty good night, everyone had fun. Wish some of the girls had not gone with the skimpy look on their costumes  . Hint: rolls=bad.
Disclaimer:
The reason for the spraypaint was makeup would have just rubbed off....and I'm really pale and wouldn't pass for a wolf. 10 minutes and a bottle of mineral spirits and I'm mostly back to my normal color. NOT recommended if you've never had experience with spraypaint or mineral spirits on your skin.... I do spraypaintings occasionally so I've had plenty of both. Now I just gotta hit the spots I missed at 2am  .

A friend just posted this pic from our Halloween gig - 
We all dressed as dead players who played what we play... so I was Mr. Entwistle for the first set (Elvis found that skeleton suit at a garage sale for $.75! - yes, that's seventy five cents, baby!). I changed to Sid Vicious for the rest of the night. Need to find some pics of that...
The rest of the band consisted of Bob Marley, Jerry Garcia, Frank Zappa and John Bonham. Quite a star-studded spectacle!
Look close - I had LED's on all 8 fingers. That was freakin' cool! Made little disco lights up over my head as I played but also blinded me any time I looked at the neck...
