Glade and I dressed up for the Monster Show opening as a goth and a nerd, respectively. Here’s a pic we took before we went out:

I’m never shaving my beard again. Thanks to Jason Poland for loaning me his Powerglove!

We didn’t come up with our costumes on our own, though. Glade had the idea that we should base our costumes this year off the drawings in a zine called Hot Topik. We picked these two:
