What should I be for Halloween?

You could always go as a drunk. If someone else has the same idea then you'll need to think fast and customize the drunk costume. Try one of these examples:

bitter drunk
loud, egotistical drunk
horny drunk
staggering drunk
incontinent drunk




Good luck!
 
Alright guys! There were some good suggestions (which I might take up for tomorrow's party or on ACTUAL Halloween) but for tonight's party I'm being a pimp -- Mr. Bucks, specifically. I WAS going to be a priest, buuuuuuut the costume I bought sucked and I had to take it back.

I'll see if I can get some pics from tonight's party up tomorrow :D.
 
When it comes to costumes, I just variate between two themes.

I either go black tie (i've got some nice suit type stuff. just loosen the tie and undo some shirt buttons and bob's your uncle) or I go as a pirate.

the former is usually preferable - 90% of the time i'm at a costume event is when i'm playing. going like that looks good on stage and looks good off stage, aswell as being practical and comfortable.

for Halloween I'm playing as a pirate in black tie.
 
i'm "going" as an alcoholic bassist.

I like mike, but fail to see the point of a wireless mic that never moves.

Oh yeah, I went as cartman...spent 40 bucks on the deal, and had to lose it after 4 songs due to being so hot I felt like I was going to pass out. Or maybe that was the jager.....either way, it got lost. My singer went as Ricky Bobby. Unfortunately, it was the scene where he is in his underwear and a helmet only.
