Yesterday night, my family decorated our house for Halloween. We did what we do every year, my brother goes and buys new decorations, puts them up, my dad takes a nap, my mom makes food, and I find some old clothes, stuff them with leaves, duct tape them together, sit them down on a chair, give attach some old shoes to the pants, attach gloves to the jacket sleeves, and put a dinosaur mask in the hood. Last year I also rigged it's eyeholes with glowing eyes, so at night he blinks and winks at people. On Halloween, my dad usually pulls up a chair, puts on a mask and sits next to them, holding the candy bowl and scaring away anyone who takes to many pieces. But this year, after I stuffed him, my mom took my brother to dominicks and left me home alone while I put the finishing touches on who I am going to call Steve this year. It felt really serene outside, The sun was setting, the sky was full of pinks, purples and oranges, so I felt like sitting outside with Steve for a while. After about 5 minutes I got bored, so I just randomly decided that I would go inside and grab my guitar and play outside. So I found myself sitting outside on my front door in a lawn chair playing guitar and watching the sun set for about an hour. I felt like I was from the sixties or something. I got some odd looks from passing cars, after all, I'm out there playing an acoustic next to a stuffed guy in a dinosaur mask with blnking lit up eyes. You know, this all probably sounds really strange, so I'm going to go outside and snap a pic of Steve by our garage for you....2 IMPORTS LATER....I'm back! Enjoy these photos, and I look forward to any comments you may have!

When I saw the picture at first, I thought that you were in the suit/costume thing.

I think it sounds like a fun time. I would have liked to see him with his glowing blinking eyes.

The pics didn't show up until I read the last sentence... kind of creepy. There is a kid who plays the guitar and rides his bike at the same time. ( Laina and I see him every once in a while) I think you have some competition.
