i'm not going trick or treating because you're all the sweetness i need

ah, halloween pick up lines. is there anything better to do at a Young Life club? i think my personal favorite was "It looks like you dressed as a really attractive person for Halloween. Wait a second, that's not a costume!". anyway, here's a picture of me in costume. apparently Darth Vader was the most popular costume this year, and as always, i was right at the forefront of this season's fashion trend.

i will answer a few of the questions that you have in your head right now:
1) no, those aren't three-quarter length sleeves. it's a youth Large.
2) yes, the costume was originally one piece and i did have to cut off the bottom half to be able to put it on and that's why i'm wearing shorts.
3) yes, i did still salvage the legs by tucking the top edges into my boxer briefs.
4) yes, michael cullen did proceed to pretend to be choking long after i stopped the hand motion, so all in all, not a very accurate re-enactment.

i realize now that this post has nothing to do with note to self, so i will change that. i am going to hollywood on thursday for the Taxi Road Rally. it's a music industry conference for this service of which i'm a customer. i learned a lot when i was in Boston, so hopefully the west coast will be just as informative. at least i'll try to meet a bunch of people. and worst case, i get a two day vacation to a place where i know almost no one. wait. that's actually kind of a bad worst case. and i'm spending a crapload of money for this. shoot.
