Oakland, CA
For the past four years, in celebration of each Halloween since we've returned to California, we've attended the costume party thrown by our friends
Dominique and John at their home in Oakland. Scott is, bar none, the best at coming up with costume ideas that are creative, fun, reasonably easy to execute, not break-the-bank expensive and (usually) easily identifiable to others. For some reason, though, the costumes he comes up with frequently involve me dressing up as a man, and usually a rather unattractive one, at that. I gave up fighting it long ago. It's easier just to go with it. (Besides, it makes me look like a good sport!)
This year, we decided to go as members of the '80s new wave band Devo, famous for their 1980 hit 'Whip it,' not to mention their signature red, energy dome hats (which we had to order from the official Devo fan website). It's fun wearing something that looks like an upside-down flower pot on your head!
