10/31 Costume Ideas
Posted: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 - 14:09
The band has already tweeted that they have an idea on what to where for the Halloween show at the Ryman.... Just wondering what ideas others have had for getting dressed up that night....

My costume for the past two years...
I made a sweatshirt with iron-on letters that says, "Go Ceilings!"
I was a ceiling fan.
OH YES. PUN COSTUMES ARE MY FAVORITE!
I'm totally with you, Katie. My favorite was one year I saw a guy wearing a crown and a robe with various phrases pinned to it: "The check is in the mail" "I'll still respect you in the morning" "No, those jeans look great on you." When asked, he said he was the Lyin' King.
I think the guys should go as KISS.

My friends and I dressed up as Kiss in high school. It was a lot of fun. So far I have one idea for a costume, but I want to think of something more original.
Heids - that's the greatest idea. Ever. Haha. How funny would that be?
Or The Beatles - seeing as they've had so many comparisons. Or a barbershop quartet. Hmm, now the ideas are just tumbling away in my head.

"Hell has no fury like a woman; happy, scorned, or otherwise"
For last years Halloween show I used morticians wax and liquid latex to make it look like I had banjo picks and broken strings imbedded in my face along with little trickles of blood. It seemed fitting for being on the front row of the pit right in front of Scott. Talking to him just before they went on, he seemed to get a kick out of the makeup.

Can you imagine Bob Crawford in platform boots and The Catman face paint, ala Peter Criss?? How awesome!

My thoughts were definitely KISS for the guys. It would be hysterical.
The South--where roots, place, family, and tradition are the essence of identity.
Kickass!
SundayRehab, that's one intense (and awfully literal) costume! Please tell me you have pix of that?
I love Halloween. Candy and costumes prove I'm just a big 6-year-old at heart.
I'd love to see them with an entourage (JLM & co? Sam Crain & the Shivs?) & all dress up like Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem
Now, who would be whom?
ANG - THAT is genius. I'm SO MAD I didn't think of that first.
My votes for casting:
Bob as Sgt. Floyd Pepper
Joe as Zoot
Seth as Dr. Teeth
and I gotta go w/ Scott as Animal.

I think they should dress up like the A-Team, and Joe should be Mr. T. It'd be great to see a bunch of gold chains flying around as he did his thing on stage.

And paint a single red stripe along the side of the tour bus.
You got that right sister!!!
Seth- Murdock
Bob- Hannibal
and obviously
Scott- Face
Now that would be funny!!

Nicole Atkins has already said they are going to be Van Halen (they being her band, not avetts) for the halloween show.
Tim, you're cracking me up!
I thought maybe they'd go as the cast from the Wizard of Oz! Seth as darling Dorothy, shaggy Scott as the lion, reserved Bob as the Tin man, and Joe with his wild flying hair as the scarecrow!
----------
There was a dream, and one day I could see it, like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it.
Seth as Dorothy!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHHA

If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't Seth ?
A million hearts would burst if he sang that, seriously.
Think of all the other amazing covers they could do? Like a Wizard of Oz thrash-medley, with banjo, electric, and plenty of sweat a-flyin'....I'd die to see all that! One of my fave movies of all time, seriously. (Again, I'm a 6-yr-old at heart
)
That's a fun idea, but I hate it when straight guys dress in drag for Halloween. I say unless you're actually going to commit to the look - and by that, I mean wax your eyebrows and shave your legs (not to mention your face) - leave the cross-dressing to the professionals.
But Seth could go as the Wizard (the man behind the curtain)....
--
Will you forget when we have paid our debts,

They could all be flying monkeys.
Even better, Blackness. Although that would totally creep me out.
How about Star Wars characters? Seth as Chewbacca, Bob as Obi Won, Scott as Han Solo and Joe as Darth Vader.

Will you forget when we have paid our debts,

What Heids, no Yoda? My buddy was at a Tori Amos show, and it was her daughter's birthday, and they had a Star Wars theme party for her. Tori was dressed as Yoda. I guess her daughter got to make the set list too.
Hmmm....who could be Yoda. Scott is the shortest, yes? So maybe him? ("Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmmm?")
(On a somewhat related note, at the Newport Folk Festival, when Seth said they were going to "try" to do a song from the new album, I wanted to yell "Do or do not, there is no try" but I 1) thought that was supremely nerdy, and 2) annoyed myself by just thinking it.)

Will you forget when we have paid our debts,

Seth as Scooby, Scott as Daphne, Bob as Fred, Joe as Wilma. I think it's hilarious when guys dress up as women for Halloween, especially when you can still see their hairy legs and facial hair. Or they could all dress up as a 60's du-wop group. With sparkly dresses. Well, maybe not that...
Different strokes and all that. I just don't like bad drag - it disheartens the gay man in me greatly. (So does my current ragged-ass hair "style," but that's a different story.)
Oh, and another thing that guys dressing in drag have to be willing to do for me to get on board with such a costume - get some duct tape and....er, hide the candy, as Lady Miss Chablis would say.
--
Will you forget when we have paid our debts,
who did we borrow from, who did borrow from?
oh, we could add some Lady Chablis quotes over in the movie thread. What a character!!
--
At the end of the set, the old man who was going to be behind the wheel for the long haul home said, "Boys, that gave me God bumps."
Linda, I saw her perform in about 1996 or so in Raleigh. I was sitting right in front and she totally called me out as the only "real" woman in the bar. She was faaaaaaabulous.
.....and out comes the aforementioned inner gay man.
ETA: Threadjack is now complete. Sorry, I just can't help myself when I start talking about drag queens!
--
Will you forget when we have paid our debts,

Ang/Heids:
Electric Mayhem would be awesome! I was trying to explain to someone how explosive and energetic their shows are and said that "Scott playing the drums reminds me of Animal." Perfect idea....
Heids... You have officially weirded me out, and that's hard to do!!! Between Star Wars discussion, and talk of hiding the candy, I am a little freaked out right now. Try to keep the madness low will ya??? (and by madness I mean your inner gay man)

If you're over 12 years old and you still like dressing up for halloween you should be kicked in the shin repeatedly. I'm not sure why adults get so excited for Halloween. What about halloween is so exciting? If it's the dressing up, well you do know that your an adult and if you want to wear a spiderman costume, you actually just can. It doesn't have to be halloween, just wake up, look at the sadness looking back at you in the mirror, walk by your poster of the puppy holding the kittie and put the friggin costume on. The whole excitement with halloween was it was the one day a year when you, AS A KID, could dress up as spiderman if you wanted. Well that's over, your an adult now, you can dress like spiderman every day if you want, and honestly, i think you should.
and just so your not confused...this statement doesn't go for all you hot girls that dress up like naughty nurses or french maids. I think that is very adult, very needed and should be practiced with impunity and not shin kicks. oh and take alot of pictures and post them.

"And I don't know if my soul is safe , Sometimes I use curse words when I pray"
as a child, i dressed up whenever i wanted. does that then negate your point?
Or, to look at it another way:
If you're over 12 years old and you still want women to degrade themselves for your amusement, you should be kicked in the shin repeatedly.

"If you're over 12 years old and you still want women to degrade themselves for your amusement, you should be kicked in the shin repeatedly." - Heids
Agreed. You're certainly a bundle of fun there, Terry. I could see your point if I was a lonely guy from, say, Ohio. But as for me and my friends, we'll take any excuse for a party and comply with the requirements willingly.
BTW, did you ever get that download code you weren't entitled to but whined about not getting?
ETA: While I'm not into degrading women personally (although I occasionally find myself engaged in such an unseemly act for the sake of a laugh) I have nothing against them degrading themselves in my room. I see it as a cry for attention and I give them all I can.

If you're over 12 years old and you still want women to degrade themselves for your amusement, you should be kicked in the shin repeatedly. NICE! I couln't agree more. AND, what the heck happens to some seemingly normal, decent women on Halloween? I have seen some of the most Skanktastic(like that word?) costumes...btw, if you have young daughters and you want to search the internet for costume ideas BE CAREFUL. I typed in "little bo peep costumes" last year and hit a damn near porn site.
This thread will return after a word from our non-corporate sponsored thread-derailer
- - - -
So...I'm having a(nother) bad week.
Who's all lining up for these shin kicks?
Cuz I'm about ready to disperse them. No download code required.
I'll even play your favorite song. AND, you can sing along!
But wait, there's more...!
Free beer! Spilled on you during the process. Like waterboarding, only drunker.
(Oh yes, I'm hiring.)
- - - -
ridiculous costume conspiring...
And now, back to your regularly scheduled Oh-My-God-Is-it-Friday-Yet?
Where's my not-so-slutty Wonder Woman costume...and has anyone seen my invisible airplane? September's still too far off, and Colorado's a calling.
BTW, Scotty Avett as Robin is horrible miscasting!!!
"Like waterboarding, only drunker." - The Persian
BWAHhahaha.....I'm down. Sign me up.
And what the hell is a "non-slutty" Wonder Woman costume? I just can't envision that. I mean, her costume always was a little provocative as is.

nothing wrong with "these people", I'd have them in my corner anyday.
Ok, Ok, I get it...Don't we all need a shin-kick every now and again?
Here's hopin' next week is a better one for ya, Angi!
Dressing up for Halloween is about a concept called "Fun"! If it doesn't float your boat...stay home and don't leave your porch light on...but don't compare your idea of "fun" against someone elses...like beauty and music, it lies in the eye or the ear of the beholder...
...or the beerholder.
"...or the beerholder."
That reminds me of this one...

"if you only knew how many people pm'd me offering me the download. " - TerryOhio
If you only knew how many more would have if you weren't such an ass.
Listen, Turd, if you don't get it, don't embarrass yourself by letting everyone know. I offer you that even though you don't strike me as someone who can take advice.

seems to me that you and ur little buddy above you are the ones turning this into something that it isn't. If you took time to read the posts before you started with the name calling you will know that i asked once for the download in another thread last weak(politely) and got blasted with the copyright laws of america and the avetts request to not give them out(since then, it seems everyone has broken that law and no one said a thing...weird).
name calling......nice, and easy.
I'm starting to think what alot of people have Pm'd me about is really true on this site. Some of you really think you own this site and that because you have 500 posts you are some how more important than the person with one. YOU ARE NOT!!!
what started out as a little joke and some sarcasm once again gets blown outta proportion by the so called avett elite on this site.
