Some Halloween Gems
by mike lewis | Nov 03, 2009 |
Growing up in Colorado, Boulder’s Mall Crawl was always the craziest bash of the year. Thousands of revelers would descend on the Pearl Street walking mall in the most whacked out costumes and mental states imaginable. The event morphed into more of an annual riot than a party and the cops put the brakes on, shutting all the roads into town and descending on the mall like Tiananmen Square. Fast forward to 2009 and the planets seemed to align as a Saturday Halloween, nearly full moon and new batch of college kids had cops and the media in a frenzy about the return of the Mall Crawl.
While the fears proved unfounded and every one remained relatively tame, the streets were once again packed with throngs of great costumes and thought I’d share a few gems.
-
- The royal family was in town.
-
- There were nearly as many beers on the mall as in the bars.
-
- Blinding.
-
- A little fear and loathing.
-
- But I don't even know Jeebus!
-
- 2012 is coming and this guy was spreading the word.
-
- Just plain wrong.
-
- There were plenty of swine flus running around - this guy was bringing the mad cow scare back.
-
- Bad shot of a good Tetris costume.
-
- Not sure what this guy was all about, but definitely freaked me out.
-
- The cleavage collage commences.
-
- It's not a party until Randy Savage shows up.
-
- Angry bears.
-
- There must be some serious two-for-one deals on Mario and Luigi costumes.
-
- We get it.
-
- Jay, K-Rad and Silent Bob - Mall Rats, get it?
-
- There was not shortage of swine flu vaccine costumes at least.
-
- Snowlerblading, alive and well!
-
- Banana Tech is everywhere.
-
- Danger.
-
- Speaking of danger...
-
- Shaun White dropped in for the party.
-
- As did the mormons and Jeebus.
-
- Together at last.
-
- Oh Yeah!
-
- Spooky!
-
- Sweep the leg.
-
- Nightmares ensued from this guy.
-
- dummy.
