Hall-(& Oates)-oween

Back in August we attended a free Hall & Oates concert in Coney Island.  It was nothing short of amazing fun.  At one point I looked over at W and our friend J, gleefully clapping in unison to “Private Eyes”*, and I said…. “I think we just found your Halloween costume.”

A few months later:

hall & oates

Maneaters!

*I have great video of us singing along at the concert, but a social media ban was placed on the footage.  As soon as i figure out how to put a bar over eyes in video, I will post

Sully* the jack o lantern

Winning design

“The Wink” with a side of disorientation. BOO!

* I wanted to name him Sully. W wanted to name him O’Malley.  Neither of us know why we determined he needs to be Irish

UPDATE: I was worried that one of the skateboarding punks was going to steal Sully.  But then I got disappointed that he wasn’t taken, because I had some great ideas for the “Missing” posters I was going to post around the neighborhood.

Jack O Lantern sketches. I’m worried about time!*

W’s picks. He has yet to explain how “Scream version” and “Can’t believe my eyes!” would be executed, except to say, “It will require some engineering and artistry, but it can be done.”

I do need to acknowledge that my “Wink” design, which is the front-runner in our limited survey, was inspired by W’s original “The Wink.”  He said he’s OK with being credited with the idea and using my execution.

GET THE EXACTO, IT’S JACK O LANTERN TIME!

Make it work!* You know W, he can’t turn down a good Project Runway reference/ reenactment
