oh hailloween

how was your halloween?

mine was OK. next year i will know that if i want to go to the east village halloween parade that i must either arrive much earlier, bring a stepstool, view from the other side of the street, or some combination of all 3.

i went as a voodoo priestess / witch doctor. i scared the bejesus out of some people riding on the train because i blacked my teeth out. that was very good fun. in fact, here's a photo of me re-applying blackout to my teeth! unfortunately, there wasn't a photo taken of my entire outfit by anyone i know.

a lot of people took their photo with me, and a lot of photographers took my photo, but somehow we forgot to take one.

anyway. we later came home and changed back into our regular people clothes because my foot was giving me some serious trouble. shara wasn't having any of that, and she promptly put a stache and beard on me.

hilarious. she also let me borrow a beautiful parka that she got somewhere for a steal. beautiful embroidery. got my jones going for a sample sale!

i sold a bunch of stuff at buffalo exchange, which is the raddest little outpost i've stopped into in awhile. i scored davie b some pf flyers he's been jonesin, and i scored the gold mids i've been stalking for almost a year now. and a rad puma bag, and a jacket for work. oh and a flask.

brooklyn, you are so good to me. so rewarding. it makes schluffing up to the laundromat with my underwear out for all to see worth it.

we tried some place called habitat in greenpoint, but it wasn't in our neck of greenpoint. they also weren't serving food by the time we got there. so a car back to willy b, falafel by the l stop (not so great ... my falafel from costco is hella better). then to muggs, where i had some beer. duvel. who knew that i could even drink a whole beer?

i didn't hate it. but i still like shara's birthday beer better. leffe.

on that note ... back to craig's list. which has also rewarded me significantly.
