I went out for some laser tag over the Halloween weekend and arrived dressed as
I typically am when I play tag...t-shirt, jeans, sneakers and my signature
Photon cap. And when I walked in there was a big crowd of people who were
wearing regular street clothes. Then in walked Harley Quinn...no, not Kevin
Smith's daughter (lol), but a teenager dressed as the comic character. I give
this girl props for two reasons...one, it takes guts to walk into a room and be
the only person in costume (there was intended to be a costume contest that
night, but it didn't take hold with the majority of the players) and two, in a
head to toe red and black velvet bodysuit she must have been sweating bullets
to wear that while playing. Well, we played a few games and the thought occurs
to me that I actually have a costume of my own in my car. So, in the middle of
the evening I decide to throw on my Supergirl costume and chase Harley Quinn
around the arena in full Halloween spirit.
To be honest I only stayed in my costume for one game (I
was dying from the heat!) before I changed back into street clothes, but it was
fun to get into the Halloween mood by dressing up.
Alex showed up in monster make-up that would have been
even more impressive if he hadn't sweat most of it off (the practicality of
wearing a full costume for tag is a little bit lacking).
And no sooner had I changed out of my costume did someone
else put on (for all of about five minutes) an inflatable Stay-Puft Marshmallow
Man costume. They held a really casual contest which the Marshmallow Man won,
but I must say Harley probably equally deserved simply for surviving playing
tag all night in her outfit. Well, all the runner-ups got treated to a free
slushie, which was good enough for me!
I had no sights on even being in a costume contest, but
what I did want to do was make sure I played rotating all my membership cards,
which I did. Why? To make sure to keep my averages up and my status active on
them all. You see, the top ten board was updated since the last time I was
there. Although I am still on it I did drop a couple of spots, so I guess I
need to make a more conscious effort of playing smartly with my accounts.
But that gives me something to strive for next time
around. This night was just about playing for fun...and if these photos don't
say "fun time at tag" I don't know what else would!
