I have a fog machine and an axe!

[kestrell]

I'm going to be a Green Woman: I have a pseudo-medieval green velvet dress and cloak, a mask with ivy leaves, lots of fake velvet ivy, plus my ivy bracelt tatoo.

And an axe!

Sadly, when you live with historical reenactors, and announce that you have an axe, no one even looks up from their breakfast oatmeal. I asked, "Aren't you even a little scared?" and, in the most bored voice in the world, my housemate replied, "No."

LOL axe reaction.

It was great! The weather cooperate and the velvet dress was warm enough that I even stood outside by the door for a while and would occasioinally make menacing gestures with my axe and say things like, "Let's hear those 'Trick or treat' kidds!' " and there would be a chorus of "Trick or treat!".

Also, for some reason, the fog machine produced a far more enthusiastic amount of fog this time than it did during our test drive. Perhaps it knew it was Halloween? But, even after I retired and went up to the aerye on the thrid floor, I could smell the slight chemical smell of the fog (if you have ever attended a light show at an event, it's that smell--it reminds me of when I used to go to a local goth club).

We had rain, but also I had choir rehearsal, and by the time I got home, all the trick or treating seemed to be over.
