Costume ideas, Halloween, NYC... traveling light, help????
will be in NYC on business the weekend before halloween and have been invited to a "halloween" party/ scavenger hunt in Brooklyn... any suggestions for a costume that does not involve bringing a bunch of stuff in my luggage? doesn't have to be elaborate...bonus points for anything I could buy in Manhattan before I catch the subway to the party...
gracias...

dude, take a crazy hat, sunglasses, and some tape.
When you get to New York, find an empty box.
Now put everything together and recreate the "Dick in The Box" dude.

Buy an I (Heart) NY tee shirt for a few bucks, tuck it into sweatpants, wield a camera and a poorly folded subway map, and come as a tourist.

Low-Rent Viking: crumple some aluminum foil into horns, affix to cheapo aluminum colander helmet. Cut shield out of cardboard, cover with more foil for a classy touch.
Hit a hardware/housewares store in NY (try Chinatown) for the colander. You might find a suitably lethal-looking spatula for your sword.

Black socks, dress shoes, thong, overcoat, voila!

Borat - this shouldn't take up to much space in your suitcase.
