Hallowe'en: who dressed up

[Desert Tortoise]

GLC, I'm not sure which was your intention was but I found myself both laughing and eewww-ing at the same time. I liked it!

Z-Z, your jersey pretty much said it all. No matter, you looked you were having a good time out there.

Meh. I'm probably the only one who thinks Halloween is strictly for kids.

It scared half the grad students because most of them aren't American and aren't really familiar with Halloween.

One of my most fun work Halloweens was the year I worked with a big company that had just brought on about 75 people from India, mostly recent college grads. They were there training on a long-term basis and were going to go back after a year and work with offshore teams.

The company had a tradition of different teams doing whole themed costume and decoration dealeos. The folks from India, who were integrated into the different teams, really got into it! It was fun explaining the whole concept, then convincing the onshore/offshore people that they should definitely participate, then planning things with them, then actually going to work and being dressed up and doing skits. It was especially cool knowing that for most of the guys and gals from India, it was the first time they had done that.

More candy for me.

Friday was the big Halloween parties and parade at school (I teach) so I dressed up as a ladybug and rode to work as such (even put antennae on my helmet). Today I wore a Halloween shirt and a giant plush dinosaur tail. I told the kids I was a recently discovered dinosaur: a bookasaurus (I'm a librarian).
They get a kick out of teachers who dress up- and I was the only one who did Friday and today. I don't dress up otherwise, but at school with the kids; how could I NOT?

I sort of think that. I don't do costumes, but I enjoy seeing what other people come up with.

My best recent Halloween was when the holiday coincided with the free night at the Museum of Modern Art. Lots of people came to the museum in costume, and the juxtaposition of costumes and art was so much fun.

Sadly, no, I didn't dress up. I wanted to put those bendable glo-sticks on my bike wheels and be from the movie "Tron" and pass out candy but no one comes out my way since we are on the edge of town.

Oh, man, that sounds wonderful.

Hilarious! Just fun, Trigril.

As for you being the only teacher-librarian who dressed up...maybe because you're kinda wierd already....wearing a bike helmet everyday and cycling to work.
