sinisterteashop: That's one huge steaming load of product placement just in time for X-mas.

You guys must be a blast to hang out with. How does it feel being the goth kids from South Park?

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays and yesterday was no exception! Hell's Kitchen is also a very cool place to people watch with their costumes.

A+ on the old school alan scott green lantern costume... not the sort of thing you're gonna find in a store and it looks pretty well put together.

That's one huge steaming load of product placement just in time for X-mas. Rubik's Cube, Hasbro, Super Mario Bros, PBS Kids... why spend money on huge blow up floats when you can get humans to advertise your products for free?

the tetris and the google maps marker made me laughed.

I also saw a little girl dressed as Rubik's Cube yesterday.

I will definitely dress up next year! You'll see, you'll see...

why is everyone so grouchy? I am not sure why, but I really am loving Halloween this year. I don't "decorate" or do any of that other crap other than stealing and cooking pumpkins, but i dunno, people seem happy. Maybe it's that it's not one of those contrived plastic holidays like New Year's ("you must get stinking drunk and pay way too much for a mediocre dinner") or Valentine's Day (see above) ... just grownups wasting some time and having a fun time of it. This is not so bad, is it?

I love the Tetris girls. "Do I look fat in this?" one of them asked.
