Halloween, or something like it

Halloween is especially fun in Korea because most the people are completely unaware of this holiday. The foreigners roam the streets in strange apparel and the Koreans must be thinking....well, i don't know what they're thinking. Taxis are more reluctant to pick us up, a crowded bar will pave a walkway for us and the passerbys on the streets no longer feel the need to stare subtly. This year I created a superhero, Kimchi Man. I couldn't believe that, given the importance of Kimchi in their everyday lives, it seems no Korean had ever thought of such a superhero before. I had a fro, gloves, a cape, chopsticks in the fro, and a shirt that read; "Kimchi Power." I also brought some Kimchi around with me and offered it around but most of it just ended up on my shirt by the end of the night. I explained to the people, in booming Korean that, "if you eat lots of kimchi, you'll get the power." The best part was the ability to look this ridiculous on stage, in front of a packed bar. We headlined a 3 band show and killed. I felt this was our best yet, my first time ever being on stage and being completely at ease. It helped that the first 2 bands were awful. We played half originals, half covers. Imagine this: on drums- Korea's president, on bass- a confederate hillbilly republican, singing- a Koran holding terrorist and on bass- kimchi man. And we're singing "America (Fuck Yeah)" We were definitely a photo-opt. Later on, my crew of freakshows went to a Korean dance club (booby booby) where we were treated like royalty. The cover charge was waved, and they rolled out a carpet leading us onto the stage. Some might have difficulty being a dancing clown for so many people but our experience teaching these children has groomed us for such a job. Since Koreans are oblivious to the significance of Halloween, I think we ought to dress in insane costumes on random dates just to put a charge in the people. I hope everyone had a good Halloween and I'll be anxiously awaiting any pictures or stories.
