We’ve been doing these American Tripps parties for a few years now, and the Halloween ones are always among the very best. The costumes and all, y’know? So, I’m gonna do a bunch of posts this week ramping up to the next one (this Friday).
Here are a bunch of my favorite costumes from over the years…
#1 has to be Kreayshawn and the Yip Yips at the Secret Alley, 2011:
Oh man, how about everybody from Bob’s Burgers doing karaoke with DJ Purple on a boat in the middle of the bay, 2013:
This next one’s from Australia Day, not Halloween, but I thought hairy-armed Lorde might be a newly relevant last-minute idea for this year:
Another all-time fave, all the parents from Rugrats onstage for the costume contest at Rickshaw Stop, 2013:
I loved this gender-bending Miley and Robyn (with Iron Man) also on a boat in the middle of the bay, 2013:
And of course… Mission Mission boyz Andrew Sarkarati and Vic Wong as Nic Cage and Uma Thurman at the Secret Alley, 2013:
The next American Tripps Halloween party is this Friday (aka Halloween) at Verdi Club (aka an awesome place for a party) with DJ Purple doing his patented Dance Karaoke thing. Here’s the poster:

And these are some of the people complaining about the mission being ruined by tech workers? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black…
I’m a tech worker. I’m a hipster-like person. I dressed up like Bob for Halloween last year (see above). I’ve also lived in San Francisco for 15 years, and I’ll be ruining something for someone forever. Deal with it.
You’re totally right. I don’t know why feel compelled to be a jerk in internet comments. It just happens. I feel bad about it after. I feel sad. I wish I could find other ways to feel whole, but I cannot. I am sorry, truly.

Actually, is Vic Wong dressed as Bruce Lee from Game of Death? I would assume he’d wear a blonde wig if he was dressed as The Bride, but maybe it got too hot to wear? Just wondering. http://wherefashiondares.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/bruce-lee-s-yellow-piece-suit-game-of-death-in-the-props-clothes-the-world-s.jpg
You’re right, but most people that night were not.
You are correct. The yellow nunchucks should be a dead giveaway. The bride preferred swords. I also got one “You’re the yellow power ranger!” that night. The kids today, I tell ya.
Bruce Lee
Did anyone see the guy walking around the mission in the Gundam suit?
