That was a damn fun weekend. I don’t have a good picture of it, but the back of my shirt says “What does this mean?”
Can’t wait until next Halloween…
I finished making my Halloween costume just in time for the party tonight. This is a sneak preview of it.
And here’s a special note for my Mom and Dad: Hey guys, I know you won’t understand this reference, so let me first of all tell you that I’m not gay. This isn’t me coming out of the closet. This is a reference to this youtube video—and its subsequent remix—of a guy who saw a double rainbow in Yosemite and freaked out (understatement). The video gained some notoriety (another understatement) this year for being hilarious and generally absurd, and I thought it would be fun to go as a double rainbow for Halloween. That’s all. Love you guys. Can’t wait to see you at Christmas!
Lawrence Denes, Halloween, 1998 (age 13). St. Louis, MO.
Costume: custom made Austin Powers. You can’t really tell from the picture, but the jacket and pants are purple velvet. My mom made a lot of awesome costumes for me when I was a kid. I wish she could help me make mine for this year.
According to the timestamp, this was taken on November 5th. I have no idea why I was wearing this on November 5th (it was a Thursday).
Shino and me at our big Halloween party. My costume is 幼稚園服, the Japanese kindergarten school uniform. Click here for comparison.
