Pookapalooza 2010

The seconds are ticking down now until the annual spookfest known as the Pooka Party, hosted by Eerie Eddie Delahaunt at Harling's Upstairs, a benefit for the Good Samaritan Project. With the party going down tomorrow night, I bet you're getting a little panicked about a costume idea. What, the link idea didn't do it for you? Fine. As a public service I offer a few more ideas, F.O.C.*


That One Guy. Get the following items: a big green afro wig. Hat that looks like a giant pint of stout. Giant shamrock-shaped sunglasses with bright green lens. Neon orange leprechaun beard. Green, white and orange shorts held up with white suspenders covered in a shamrock pattern. Green plastic shot glass that lights up, hanging on a lanyard around your neck. Green t-shirt that says "Kiss Me I'm Sh*t-faced" on the front. Green, white and orange face and/or body paint. Put them all on. Listen closely for the sound of your ancestors spinning in their graves.


Irish Fest Grant. Print this, cut out, stick to your shirt. Walk around the party handing out money. Start with me.

Gaelic Storm guitarist/vocalist Steve Twigger. Click to enlarge. Print. Cut out. Tape to face. Bonus: you can wear it to the Gaelic Storm show on Thursday, too!

Eddie Delahunt. On second thought, never mind. You're not good looking enough to pass as Eddie Delahunt.

Good luck and good scaring!

*F.O.C. = Free Of Charge. Or, perhaps more accurately,  Fecked Over Costume.
