Fright Night Prep


Today I met up with a whole gang of RCW folks at a place where they were having a huge costume blow-out sale. Janet is totally in the spirit of Fright Night, and she has some of us Maze people featured in her haunted house. There are 6 or 7 work/live units at RCW, and everyone is transforming their spaces into Harrowing Halloween Hostels of Horror! Janet's theme is Japanese Yokai monsters. I once took a test to find out which Japanese demon I was, and it turned out that I was a "kappa," or water/turtle demon that likes to eat children and fart and look up women's kimonos. I did not know that about myself! But it was funny because as Janet was thinking about what sort of creature I should be, she chose the kappa. Weird!

At the costume place today, I found an Oreo costume, which I transformed into the turtle-shell Kappa outfit above. I also found some cool green gloves and that raffia stuff. I've got zombie fingertips, green make-up and green hair color. We'll see how it all turns out. It should be creepy!  If I frighten just a few children then I will count this as a success.

Come on out and check out Fright Night for yourself! It's a fundraiser for RCW and it promises to be lots of fun. Oh, and bring the kids too! Bwah ha ha ha!!
