Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Your Halloween Costume
I haven't decided which venue I am going to on Halloween night, and that may influence my choice of costume.
There is this weekly dance thing that features '80s music, and their Halloween party is always great. If I go there, I will probably go as Donny Darko again, since the movie was set in 1988. Donny Darko on Halloween, that is. So just black pants, my hand-painted skeleton shirt, and a black hoodie. I bear a vague resemblance to Jake Gyllenhaal, though I am definitely looking to old to be Donnie Darko lately. No cover charge, a very good DJ, and a large dance floor. However, I might need a new black hoodie, as my existing one has taken a severe beating over the last 15 years.
Or I might go to the local goth bar, which will have a high cover charge and still be packed on Halloween. Two of the three DJs there are friends of mine, including one who works a day job at Fantasy Flight. For that venue, I would go as John Constantine. I've the exact clothes for it, especially the trench coat, which has naturally acquired a bit of wear and tear and a few small stains over the years. And I could easily do the stubble. The only tricky part would be the blond hair. I might try one of those temporary spray-on things, but I have no prior experience with that.
Or maybe I will wing it that night. If the spray-on blond hair doesn't look passable, I will wash it out and go as Donnie Darko. If it works, I might avoid the high cover and mob scene at the goth bar and take my Hellblazer look to the '80s thing. The character debuted in the mid-'80s and even had his own monthly title before the decade was over.

I have wanted to go as Donnie Darko since the film came out, but I could never find a full skeleton suit that would fit me. And I'm one of those people who needs costumes to be completely accurate or not done at all. So I never got a chance.
His hoodie is gray, by the way.
