In approximately two weeks, I will be holding a Blanket Fort Goodbye Party on almost the entire top floor of an apartment building.

I'm looking for a goofy, full-costumed T-Rex outfit for Halloween. Something like in this Chapelle's Show clip (2:00 mark). Hopefully someone with better google skills or knowledge of specific outlets in the SF Bay Area.
