i generally go out on halloween as a guy who sits in a chair, smoking a cigarette and looking around. sometimes i go as a tourist, but its hard to stay in character--you know, talk really loudly about stupid shit and take arbitary polaroids. the upside of being a tourist is that you get to point at people and treat them like they are tourist attractions. but of course as the parties drag on and people get more drunk, the distinction between being a tourist and simply being at a party breaks down and its at that point that staying in character becomes difficult. because its pointless.
so mostly, i go out as a guy who sits in a chair, smoking a cigarette and looking around.
it's a conceptual thing.
