urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ladycrim Random thoughts that breeze through my brain Jules 2009-11-02T19:57:16Z urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ladycrim:475145 2038-01-19T03:14:07Z 2009-11-02T19:57:16Z I spent Halloween in San Francisco this year!<br /><br />First of all, our two RHPS shows were AMAZING. Saturday we sold out, and on Friday we sold 250+ tickets. Best Halloween shows ever!<br /><br />I have to share the best Halloween costume I saw. San Francisco has a tour company called "<a href="http://www.gocartours.com/" target="_new">Go Car"</a>, a GPS-guided tour of the city in little yellow go-karts. We were about to cross the street when a Go Car went by with a guy in a turtle costume at the wheel. OK, cute. Then a guy in a spotted mushroom hat drove past. That's when I got it. "Oh my god, it's Mario Kart!" This was confirmed a second later, when Luigi went by. It was brilliant! I wish I'd gotten a photo.<br /><br />Meanwhile, reactions to my costume ranged from people who knew exactly who I was (including one guy who started quoting Woody's lines to me), to those who said, "Oh! Oh, I know who you are! You're from that movie! Toy Story! You're that character! Oooh, what's her name?", to those who simply tugged on the pull-string pinned to the back of my shirt. Overall, though, I got raves, which I was thrilled about. (Photo below the cut.)<br /><br />I didn't have a lot of time this year, but it wouldn't be Halloween if I didn't bake something, so:<br /><br /><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/ladycrim/pic/0012t2zx"><br />Oh what a tangled web we frost ...<br /><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/ladycrim/pic/0012wkh2"><br />Normally an entire pile of spiders would freak me out, but not when there's chocolate involved!<br /><br /><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/ladycrim/pic/0012rf45"><br />Yeee-HAW! Happy Halloween!
