Halloween Memories 6 Years Ago Today – My Costume Double..

I  was just relaying the story to a friend of mine. Several years ago I went to a costume party trying to resemble Elton John.  You wouldn't believe what happened. 

The only reason I'm telling you this story is that- you know how Facebook digs up old pictures and puts them on your feed?  Well just tonite this shot popped up.

The backstory:  6 years ago I went to a costume store looking for an Elton John wardrobe. For some reason, they didn't have that in stock (I  guess that was a big run-on Elton that year).  So they tried their best and pieced one together using a flamboyant robe-like thing, equally flamboyant cap and glasses.

Well you'll never believe what happened.   I went to the listener party at the former Turf Inn on Wolf Road in Albany.   I walk in the door and moments later see something in my peripheral vision that cracked me up - another 'GNA (former) staff member with the EXACT same outfit on.  When I could catch my breath from laughter, I blurted out "What are YOU supposed to be? )  He answered confidently, "A PIMP!" And YOU?"

I found the picture, by the way.  OK, I had a piano tie and he didn't, and different shirts, but the rest was the same…

I don't know what the wardrobe person was thinking here, but it turned out to be a really funny moment that comes to mind each year during Halloween.  (Did you see what they made us dress up as THIS year?
