The online chronicles of a painter living in Austin, Texas

HALLOWEEN AT BLUE GENIE...
WOULD THE REAL JESUS PLEASE STAND UP?
October 31, 2003 - Austin, Texas - There was no full moon, no howling werewolves, but the mood was set - 10 full kegs, 2 fridges full of twelve packs, sangria by the gallons.  Five hundred pounds of dry ice was ready to go, and as the finishing touches were being placed on the Kenny Rogers Maze of Horror, the spirit of Halloween was taking over.

Halloween week started with some innocent boasting about the physical transformation that was going to take place.  Unsuspecting Blue Genies did not realize facial hair and some HEB self tanning lotion were an integral part of the costume.  After lucking out finding a thrift store jumpsuit in my size, and buying the right amount of RIT dye, my costume started coming together.  After some extremely fortuitous finds at various Goodwill shops throughout Austin (it always helps to shop with those with keen eyes), there was nothing a little spray paint couldn't turn into a prop from the life everyone's favorite Latino pedophile bowler, Jesus Quintana, from the Big Lebowski.
