bradm Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'm excited, but in dire need of access to a suitable costume. Anybody have any suggestions? Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...maybe if we got (semi-)matching bland, dark suits, largish name badges, and carried bibles and "informative literature" we could go as members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints? Mind you, our level of consumption of recreational consumables might limit peoples' belief in the costumes... Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaPink Posted October 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Meg - put in the "wink wink" wherever you want to be exempted from a nasty remark. For example, "You have dog breath and look like a baboon's arse " See... now I don't have to feel bad about what I said and you shouldn't get offended! Brad - I think that's a great idea! Stapes?

PalacePrincess Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 boyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy, AM I? i can almost taste it! sigh, only 82 more hours.... and counting! that's such a funny pic, gener rules. and... so does deaner. ha ha, that's a great costume idea miss pink! and hey brad & steve, if you wanted to tie some ween into it, you guys could always go as perce & geoff. i mean c'mon, there's bound to be a bunch of mr. richard smokers there, but who else would arrive as perce & geoff? but if you wanted to do something solo, a wwf theme is always worth a laugh. you could even make your own ween inspired character. "i am fancy pants, feel my pissy dribble!" although ha ha, i gotta say, the latter day saints is pretty good. just watch out for any real life thumpers.

bradm Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Uh, the only problem with (me) coming as something Weenish (Weeny?) is that I've never seen Ween before, nor have I heard a lot of their music. (What I've heard, I've liked, but I'm unfamiliar with a lot of their songs.) Who are perce and geoff (and how would one costumize oneself into one or both of them)?

questcequecest? Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 brad, i think a seahorse would make an exceptional costume... but time may be your biggest constraint at this point.

PalacePrincess Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 brad, i think that's awesome you're this excited to go and you aren't even a huge ween freak yet (YET being the operative word... after you see them, you'll know what i'm talking about here). are you familiar with the song mr. richard smoker? there's a line in the song that says "perce and geoff will pick you up at tennnnn". so basically, (well, as i picture it) perce & geoff are of the 40-ish slimy-chic gay community, mr. richard smoker's good friends. if you listen to the song and pay close attention to the lyrics, you should get a feel for it. i have two blonde mullet wigs i would be happy to loan for the cause if you guys are interested. add a leisure suit or two, maybe some pantyhose & aqua net, menthol cigarettes (also mentioned in the song) and you're good to go! but if you wanted to do something else ween related, there are countless little jokes you could pick up on, i'm sure if we all put our heads together we could give you a bunch.

Blane Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I went to see ween for HalloWEEN 2001, and let me warn against going as a Reggaejunkiejew or Dr. Rock. Most overused costumes there. If you can find a decent Mollusk costume, you're in like Flyn. Otherwise: Japanese Cowboy Stallion (maybe the Italian one?) Captain Fantasy Puerto Rican Someone who's "stuck in a cabana living on bananas and blow" (this one could be good!) Frank Fat Lenny (a bit overdone though) if you want to get really offensive, you could be "waving my dick in the wind". But remember you'll be in the US. To get you guys drooling, here's the setlist from the show I was at.... 10-31-2001 Patrick Gym, UVM Burlington, VT Set 1 Captain Fantasy Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy) Take Me Away Mr. Richard Smoker Waving My Dick In The Wind Buckingham Green Ice Castles Bananas & Blow Albino Sunburned Girl Mr., Would You Please Help My Pony Touch My Tooter Dr. Rock I Can't Put My Finger On It Voodoo Lady Piss Up A Rope Band On The Run Don't Laugh (I Love You) Roses Are Free What Deaner Was Talking About I'm In The Mood Jonny On The Spot Fat Lenny Frank Spinal Meningitis Booze Me Up, And Get Me High The Blarney Stone You Fucked Up Sketches Of Winkle LMLYP Have fuN!

MamaPink Posted October 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 well if Perce and Jeff look like THAT, then you're waaaaaaaaay too cute to pull that costume off Stapes. Better go with Disco Stu... and save the ocean man costume for later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaPink Posted October 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Hey Brad - what time are you guys planning to get to Burlington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 quote: Originally posted by LittlemissPink: Hey Brad - what time are you guys planning to get to Burlington? Best guess would be dinnerish. Velvet's in Toronto, and will be leaving from there (he said) around 9am on Friday, which would put him in Ottawa around 1pm; figure a four-ish-hour drive from Ottawa to Burlington, add an hour or so for leeway and unforseen occurrences, and we're there in time for some pre-show falafel at Ali Baba's . IIRC, it'll be Velvet, me, jaybone, and howler in the V-mobile. Are you guys (and which guys are you, in total?) at the Super 8?

MamaPink Posted October 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Brad - It's just Palace Princess & I driving up from Kitchener, but Stapes is meeting us at the motel (and yeah, we're staying at the Super 8) We're leaving k-dub at 8:00am - so we should probably be arriving around the same time as you guys. The room is booked under my name: Miranda Bauman Come a knockin' when you guys arrive! (btw... what about TheSloth, is he not coming ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
