Halloween
So I made my own costume this year. As many have known I'm an Invader Zim fan and I love GIR. So I decided to be him for Halloween.
I realized really early that people either recognized him or not. Some thought I was a frog or Gumbi but when it came right down to it, the people knew GIR were screaming GIR from across the street.
We went down to Castro for my first Halloween in Castro experience. I always went out for the "gay" halloween the Saturday before but always stayed home on Halloween night for safety reasons. There has always been trouble from straight, ghetto people, who invade the area. Last night I heard a guy say "Its all about the pussy" while standing in front of a gay bar, in the heart of the gay district.
So I met up with Ace, we walked around for a bit and then headed south of Market. We met Matt at The Hole in the Wall and went to the Eagle. Finally we around 10:30 we ended up at the Powerhouse.
It was fun and I had a few drinks and finally I decided to enter the costume contest. Out of about 25 contestants, lots of drag, and several really great costumes, I somehow managed to come in first.
It really took me by surprise because of how few people recognized my costume yet there were people who apparently were really big fans. As they were still calling contestants back on stage, people were chanting GIR, GIR, Gir.
So I won $100 (and I got a blow job on stage while it was all going on). Who knew GIR was so popular.
