| I wore a John Kerry mask in the Greenwich Village Halloween parade last night. It was a lousy mask. I got the half-mask because I wanted to be able to speak, not wrap my head in sweaty rubber, and spend less than half what a full mask costs. But my resemblance to John Kerry was marginal at best. So I just about had to knock people over their heads with my “Kerry in a Landslide” sign in order for them to even know who I was supposed to be. But somehow the kids seemed to know instantly, and they treated me like a rock star. Reaching out to touch me and shouting Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, with inflection rising almost to a squeal. If only they were old enough to vote.

| This was my favorite homemade costume. It had robo sound. And he was doing robo dance moves, pretty amazing in such a bulky costume. More photos from the parade up soon.Parades Past |
