I went to the Yeasayer Berlin show at Maria am Ostbahnhof in full Heath Ledger Joker costume only to find that i was one of perhaps 3-4 people dressed up (like less than, uhm, 1% of the crowd... wich made it somewhere between awkward and awesome. Double-takes, photos, etc.)
However I did get a shout-out from the bassist before he left the stage at the end of the show. He pointed and said "Hey, there's Joker!" Kind of rad
I deliberated long and hard about doing this costume fot the third year in a row, but honestly my inner obsessiveness compelled me to do it again - as I just explained to a friend "mainly because I was so dissapointed with my costume last lear - it just wasn't what I wanted - but this year it was like 99% spot-on (as opposed to last year being about 65%). My make-up took over 3 hours to do and I even bought brown contact lenses... (yikes. you'd think I have better things to do with my time... and I do but I also I just fraking love Halloween & Batman)" I do. and in Berlin it is hard to Have a great Halloween... I donät know why. Although the night before the Yeasayer concert we did go to the Peres Projects Halloween party (see: ZOMBIE BIKERS FROM MARS) and that was amazing. Decorations, music, costumes and a dance performance by a tiny dancer named
Helga Wretman... oh, and there was a 10-foot tall ninja girl (whoim I couldnät figure out if they'd hired or if she was just an amazing circus freak. I also befriended the German Kieth Richards, a saxophone teacher. If anyone has photos please contact me, I don't. note: Joker kostüm Kreuzberg neukölln berlin 2010.
