HALLOWEEN COSTUME SUBMISSION 2020!!!

Duh

How is it that Spooky Season is upon us??? Wasn’t it just April???? 

Just like every fucking other thing in our lives, Halloween is going to look a bit different this year. Gone is the opportunity to wear lingerie and call it a costume while walking around in sub-thirty degree weather, and chasing a shot down with fun sized candy bars loses a bit of its luster when you can only do it alone in your dorm.

Wesleying to the rescue! As we have in years past, we’re giving you the opportunity to showcase your Halloween lewks! Submit a picture of your costume here, and then we’ll feature you in a post later in the week. Bonus points if your costume is… topical to the current situation, or if you find a clever way to incorporate your mask. Socially distant/COVID-podded costumes also welcome!

Halloweekend Bingo 2k16

Keep your eyes out for a Sexy Michael Roth.

this was my bingo sheet from 2014. i found a "nudist on strike" and they had just taped a sign saying 'nudist on strike' to their clothes and i was sad for them

this was my bingo sheet from 2014. i found a “nudist on strike” and they had just taped a sign saying ‘nudist on strike’ to their clothes and i was sad for them

Two years ago, my hallmates and I were trying to figure out the best way to celebrate the 3-4 day affair that is Wesleyan’s Halloweekend. So we made a bingo sheet.

Since some things might be starting tonight (who knows), if you want something else to do as you move between costume parties and shows, want to document all the obscure costumes you see on your nights out, play Halloweekend Bingo!

There’s only one available sheet, but we figured that among any group of friends, you’re not all going to be in the same places or see the same costumes. Pick your own prize for whoever wins. (We suggest grilled cheese.)

This year’s sheet was updated by Liz Farrell ’17.

GO FORTH, PLAY BINGO. Be safe! If you’re trying to get blackout, do it on a bingo sheet instead.

Halloween Costume Roundup 2015

"I'm still the cover photo right?"

“I’m still the cover photo right?” – Ed Thorndike ’89 of WesWings

We hope that everyone had a great Halloweekend (or, if you’re like me and didn’t realize that Halloween is a 3-4 night affair, we hope you had a great Halloween)!

Last week, we made a write-in for Halloween costumes. We received 23 costumes—up from last year’s turnout of only 7! Here’s a (moderately-sized) handful of costumes that people sent in to Wesleying that show off the spooky, creative, and downright weird Wesleyan spirit:

A Very Brief Summary of Halloween Costumes

So last week, we made a call for student Halloween costumes. There are roughly 2,900 students attending Wes, and we received a total of SEVEN costume submissions—that’s 0.2% of the student body. That kind of turnout is only comparable to that of our athletic events (except for baseball–we have the highest attendance in all of D3!).

Without further ado, a non-representative sample of people who are clearly more enthusiastic about their costumes than you were about yours:

Costume: Bob and Linda Belcher
“LR ’16 came over dressed as Linda Belcher. I didn’t have a costume. She said, “You could be Bob.” 15 minutes later, we had this. DIY like a boss.” —  GR ’16

EVENT
AEPi: Rave or Die

From The Brothers of the Alpha Psi Chapter of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity:

AEPi is throwing its annual halloween rave. Dress up and prepare to dance your hearts out.

Bring your WesCards.

FREE glowsticks for the first 300 people.

DJ Dubbstep ’14 will be playing some Doombahton (Doomsday Moombahton), and DJ Nephesh ’14 will be playing some face-melting Electro. Peter Cramer ’14 will simultaneously run a live light show–complete with blacklight, lasers, strobes, and more of that tasty shit.

And everybody should donate $3 to Shining Hope For Communities (SHOFCO).

  • DATE: Tomorrow (Saturday, October 29th)
  • TIME: 10pm-2am
  • PLACE: 200 Church

DISCLAIMER: Upon being extensively questioned on the subject of the Rave’s Title, the Brothers would like to announce to the public at large that attendance at this rave is not necessarily guaranteed to save you from death. The Brothers have determined that there is, in fact, more than a 99% chance that you will die at some point throughout your life, regardless of whether or not you attend. But you should attend. Because you’re alive now. And you should celebrate that fact by dancing your ass off at what will be The Hella-Mad-Awesomest RaveFest You Ever Attended.
