Wakinyan Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Anyone know if there are any happening Halloween parties coming up this year? I got an invite to the Playboy mansion party but I think I am going to look for an all Nova event. Any gracious hosts this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy Horrorshow Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 God I love Halloween.N!tv is doing it's usual slew of Halloween programming (Thank God) but it's not hosting a big party to use as commercial bumper footage like it usually does. Something about not affecting ratings significantly. So there goes my cash cow standard for the Holiday.The only kick ass Hallow's Eve bash that I've officialy heard about is the one here in San Fran....SuperImpose is hosting a costume ball this year. Should be amazing stuff...but it's far from free. It's also a fundraiser for the QNA but with a crazy equipped bar and Sauvage designing the thing...could be spectacular. Could also be positively frightening. Queen of Glamazons is hosting. It's a toss up. Or so I say.Fortunately, or unfortunately, I'm sort of contractually obligated to hit the islands of Japan for Halloween. TotoShi, some tv station in Japan, reserved me a few months back to attend a party in the recently re-furbished Giger Bar. If you don't know....it's the fucking Bar/club designed by H.R. Giger. Spooky phallic barstools, organically designed doorways, lots of shadow...seems like a great place to spend Halloween. It sounds like a Nova party, but until I master my "Japanese for beginners" I'm just going to be flying blind until I'm surrounded by pocky and Nippontai fan girls/boys. From what I'm told, it's a pose for a few pictures outside and then enjoy the open bar and everyone just increases the Giger Bar's cool points by just being Novas. Seems like a sweet gig.Thank God Japan's Horror Movie Renaissance never ended. Anybody's more than welcome to come. It just means getting your ass to Tokyo for a night or so. I don't know if I'd say I plan on being a "gracious host" but if you can't think of anything better to do, swing by. If it sucks Misery will love the company. Or not. I'll be enjoying myself...that's almost guaranteed.I even have a few costumes I'm debating between.So far it's either Billy Holiday, Count Chocula, or Tote Of The Tanz (may the scary man never see me in my Michael Flattery as Totentanz costume.)So what the hell are you guys doing for the Holiday?

Access Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I think I'm just going to teach myself Telekinesis and suspend a green diamond over my head all night and be a Sim from the game in the early part of the century. I'm not sure how many will understand though.Wait...I don't think I can learn telekinesis either, guess I'll be stuck with a cheap bent coathanger or something.As far as parties go, I need something to do. Bandwidth ain't gettin' no luv from da public. Then again I've spend the last few years trying to stay out of the public eye as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwriter Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I could go into a full-on lecture about Halloween really being Samhain, the Celtic/pagan New Year, but I won't.I will be spending it on a tropical island with a very handsome man and too much chocolate ice cream for my good health.Trick or treaters will be shot on sight.

It'd be fun to hang out while all the legal stuff is getting taken care of, and I guess it could be good PR or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Possibly, maybe we could find a local establishment to sponsor us for a night of fun for as long as we chill in their establishment. They could advertise us being there and probably bring in a large crowd.Who else thinks costuming is probably too easy now with the advent of eufiber?

Wakinyan Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 I was pondering a T2M uniform myself or perhaps Mal's cute little red and gold number? It'd probably make my ass look to big. Hey if you guys want we could rent out a warehouse or something. I know they have party rental space up on the Sears but I dunno if that is the best idea. We should all go trick or treating in Cabrini-Green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Well, I can change my hair color on a whim, perhaps being something or someone else would be a hell of a time!Ah... or perhaps I'll just wear this costume I designed for myself. Classic Endeavor I say. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am I just got a GENIUS idea on how to get out of the Giger thing. Of that's a lot of "ifs" in there. We'll see.Bandwidth: Eufiber has taken all the fun out of Halloween. Of course Quantum gifts have sort of helped but the fun back.and the Sims costume Idea? Awesome. Market-speak wise: Let your demographic know you love them. Saimhe: Everything I learned about the Celtic/Pagan tradition of Halloween I learned from the movie Halloween 3 and their Druid soul-sucking pagan robots. What a terribly great bad movie.

kestrel404 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Bandwidth: I can do the green diamond floating over your head perfectly. You'll just have to be cautious about the monofilament support structure - it would cut through flesh pretty easily...Horrorshow: Send a PM to Interceptor, he's our official leader and primary liason to the backers. He'll send you the paperwork you need (meeting with him in person helps too).I think a Chicago Halloween party is a great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advocate Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Monofilament support structure?Time to get a hobby, boys. Or at least make a few minutes for something besides tinkering. Music. Sex. Drugs. Pagan fun.Something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverhide Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 What's Halloween? Is it like playing dress-up? I used to play dress-up with my cousins a long time ago. My favorite was dressing-up as my dad; his old costume was so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy Horrorshow Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Silverhide: Please tell me your father wasn't a Furry or something.Seriously though....what's with the mystery Silver? Magic Aunt Bene, Dad in a costume...tell us your story sometime. Might make an interesting thread.And the obvious Halloween-culture question: Where the hell did you grow up that you didn't hear about Christ, Halloween, and are still pretty fluent in English?

Silverhide Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I asked my Uncle Jesus to tell me about Halloween and it sounds really fun!

Amped Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Silverhide, I'm glad your parents appreciate you. Mine seem to think I'm a waste of DNA, at least the one that rules their relationship does, so it spreads to the other. I just know if I ever get drunk he should watch his back for the way I saw him treat mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a problem for you, you might want to contact a fertility specialist. I understand there are some clinics in Sweden, Switzerland, Eastern Asia and America that specialize in nova fertility issues. Quote:Originally posted by Regan 'Saimhe' McLachlan: Novas having kids...? I thought that was a myth.There have been children born of novas. Its rare but it has happened.Novas... we... don't seem to... procreate... easily with baselines. I know there have been studies done with nova procreation. The information might be useful to you.

Instant hovering pointer. No dangerous wires needed!Actually, after a bit of thought, I improved on my initial idea. I just put together a hollow, vacuum filled green crystal, on an invisible wire (not monofiliment, but I gaurentee nobody without nova-level eyesight will see it). Because of the vacuum, it's lighter than air. I also coated the inside with a mildly luminescent material, so it's semi-opaque and glows very softly.Sound good, Bandwidth?I'm still considdering my own costume...Maybe I'll go as Pax.

billy Horrorshow Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Quote:Originally posted by Alchemist:I'm still considering my own costume...Maybe I'll go as Pax. You and half of the node-less. Me? I've got the perfect costume. See you in Chicago. Oh and if you're short on ideas: Last year the party to be at was themed: Great Novas from History. Basically Rodney came as Nero, Some loony robot boy was Davinci...Catherine was running around with a Horse, I went as one of the 3 wise men (the BLACK one, obvously) looking for Baby jesus.---Mainly because there were something like 5 different people thinking they would make a great Jesus. Made for a great Ice-breaker. Dead-Man's Turn had a similar Idea: He went as Judas. Fun fucking stuff.Just a springboard for costume Ideas if you're still hunting.

Access Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Alchemist, thanks for the idea, but I have a theory I'm going to test out for a little while. Though, personally I think you have too much hair to pull off Pax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Current circumstances rather limit my social engagements at the moment. Or rather my ability to actually decide in advance where I'm going to be and for how long. Unfortunately this does mean as well that the usual free taxi service to anywhere on earth and beyond is out of order for the time-being. Maybe I'll see some of you guys somewhere or maybe I'll just do a spot of trick N treating myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiGeist Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Halloween, my favorite time of year. When everyone revels in some sort of mass-party.All in costume.I got this black duster and wide-brimmed hat. With my pale complexion and a pair of red contacts, I can pull a vampire easy.A thing alot of people don't know, I do have fangs. Not very pronounced, mind you, but I can look the part. Although the thought of scaring people with my looks sorta takes me back a bit.But, you're never too old for Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
