Scary stuff


San Franciscans adore Halloween. It's yet another reason to dig out a costume, which seems to be a sacred pastime around here. I slapped together a costume (rainbow brite) and headed to a party this weekend. Favorite costumes included:

Lloyd Dobbler from "Say Anything," complete with trenchcoat and boom box, held aloft and playing "In Your Eyes".

Two (count 'em) unrelated Jesus Christs - one well over six feet tall, the other a diminutive five-foot sevenish (giving you the ability to "supersize" your religious icon).

A very DIY french toast, made from an egg-crate mattress (complete with a pat of butter made from a small carboard box).

I am glad to stay in and pass out candy to neighborhood youngsters on Oct. 31 but must admit it is an amusing holiday.
