Who's planning on dressing up this year?

I'm thinking of getting a new costume, the can of whoop ass had it's day.

I was thinking about going as Dorian Gray with a painted portrait of myself in hand. Every time I'd do something debaucherous I'd have to add something disfiguring to the portrait. Is this a good idea? I realize it could be a huge pain in the ass, especially during Fest, but if the painting was small enough I could carry it around with relative ease.

Cool idea, but you should be the photo, because I'd imagine you'll probably look more haggard by the end of the night!

Haha totally. If only I had an identical twin, then one could be the man and one the painting.

You are a genius!

Haha that's an awesome idea. As much as I hate girls who dress like whores at any opportunity they get, I'd really like to get an Oktoberfest thing going and wear a Bavarian beer girl outfit and have a crew of men in lederhosen slapping eachother. Like National Lampoons European Vacation. Probably won't happen

I was cleaning up the other day, and I found some old t-shirts I don't wear anymore. So I thought if I could just find some studded wrist bands, and a good mohawk wig, then I could dress up as myself from 10 years ago. (sadly, not enough hair left to do a real mohawk).

Of course the costume wouldn't really be complete unless I got clean shaven, which is NOT happening.

I think I still might wear a skankin' pickle shirt during the Fest.

A Skankin' Pickle t-shirt is cool, but imagine the notoriety, the high fives, and the Fest Sex you'll have if you're actually dressed in full pickle attire, skankin' away at every show. This is your time to shine, my friend. Carpe Pickle!

I've never seen a Bavarian beer girl I didn't like...

I would love to get a group of people to dress up as assorted fruit because I want to dress up as a banana so bad. Hahaha who's in?

I'll probably wear my Radioactive Man costume again.

I'll be in my koala costume.

Are there any shops that sell weird and cheap items of clothing, transporting a costume would probably be effort but I'm definitely up for buying some random stuff and putting together a costume of sorts

There's a few places about 10 or so blocks away from the holiday inn that sell a bunch of good costumes. I got my beer bottle suit there two years ago, so I can only assume it's still in business

Is it lame I don't want to post my idea because I'm afraid someone will steal it or make fun of me for it and discourage me/make me feel self-conscious?
