Last Minute Creativity

We had a show on Friday night, on Halloween. The EAE (emerging artistic ensemble) or acting interns decided to throw a party at their house in honor of the holiday. Some fellow co-workers and I decide to go, even if we didn't have costumes, just to socialize. Well, while the other two were waiting on me to get to the house, they devised some last minute costumes based on the items found in Dawn's car. The original costumes were:

Dawn with a map, sunglasses and pen = a tourist
Steph with handkerchief, sunglasses, and show blacks = gangster
Me with a stack of parking stubs from the Scope = meter maid

We then decided to see if I had anything of worth to add in the trunk of my car. The following costumes ensued:

Dawn with a map, sunglasses, pen, and emergency poncho = tourist (we almost got her to carry around a beach chair as well)
Steph with squeegee, gray blanket, tattered jeans, and bag of used cell phones = homeless person
Me with a stack of parking stubs from the Scope, orange safety vest, and multi-purpose flashlight, including flashing yellow and red lights = meter maid

Needles to say, there was much comment on our last minute creativity and the randomness of items we carry in our cars. It was a good end to the evening.
