This is a great magazine I’ve read before, seen in CVS, Borders Books, airports, and basically everywhere…a magazine that I never in a million years ever thought would cover anything related to my life. The print version hits newstands in November.

My man Big Dan from Traffic Entertainment throws a Halloween party every year. Somehow, he got my crew to get into it, and we sometimes even look forward to it. I’m down to dress up but I don’t do make-up, face paint, or fake blood. I like shit easy and removable, so if I ever decide to bail on the party I can salvage my night and self-respect. This party is dope though, so there is never any threat of bailing out…Big Dan gets 7L & Beyonder to dj every year, and the place is crawling with scantily-clad women. We skipped last year because Xavier was about 3 weeks old, but this year we are back in effect.

My wife thinks that it would be cool if we went as Jon & Kate plus 8…I have tried to explain to her why I wouldn’t make a good Jon, but it just isn’t sinking in with her. She said that I could just throw on some Ed Hardy and people would know that I’m Jon. I’ve never seen that guy in Ed Hardy but apparently he wore it a lot.  She even suggested bringing 8 dolls around with us to help sell the look, but I shut this down- it isn’t happening.

I’d really like to bring Logan and have him go as Vincent from Lost, but there is nobody I could really be on Lost. I told Andrea I could go as Jack or Sawyer from the show, and she had a good laugh and suggested I go as Ben Linus.

I mean after all, 7L has threatened to go as John Locke from Lost and I think he’d nail the role:

Here is Andrea & me a few years ago…Fantastic Four…original costumes, not like the lame movie:

This year we may go as some characters from another lame movie (GI Joe). I might dust off the Egoclapper cover get-up and go as a Cobra soldier, and Andrea can be the Baroness. We’ll see. Remember- dressing up can be fun if you can let your tough guy act go for a night (but if I see anybody going as Michael Vick they’re getting fucked up!)

PS - Xavier is a Lion….and on the night of Halloween we’re taking him around our new neighborhood, trick-or-treating in a red wagon with a few friends. Question: do we dress up for this or just pull him around in the wagon? I say we stay in streetclothes, especially since we’re new to the ‘hood. Neighbors don’t want a grown-ass man showing up to their door in full Cobra regalia.
