Most of us at True West dressed up in Halloween costumes today, continuing a tradition that goes back to 2001. Here are a few photos of that tradition:



Yes, this is the first year, 2001. I'm dressed like a fighting clown. There was some reference to someone in the news (Mike Tyson?) although I can't remember now who it was. Some other highlights:



I'm dressed as John Kerry on vacation, so this must be 2004.




That's Joel Klasky at right as a "doctor" and I think I'm "The Graduate" which is an inside joke at my house because I'm the only one without a degree in the whole fam damly.

This one got the biggest laugh out of Abby this morning. I'm on the ground, and apparently came as Stephen Hocking:



And finally, here is this year's group, taken out back of the True West offices:



Left to right: Sue as Honkytonk Sue dressed as a pirate (very clever): Allison as a peace loving hippie, Tom as vaquero, Lauren as a cowgirl, Meghan as a pirate: BBB, this year Kathy put quarters all over my body and on my top hat and I came as "Change you can actually believe in.": Robert as Farmer John, Abby as the Scarecrow and Sheri as the very Wicked Witch of the east (or, would that be the West, as in True West?):
