The Tragedy of Sam Merlotte

So a couple weeks ago I decided to be Sam Merlotte for Halloween. Merlotte is a character from True Blood, where he is the owner of a bar, as well as being a shapeshifter. The costume would be pretty low-key, just buying the shirt online and then getting some gray stuff for my hair.

The main concern was that although I bought it two weeks ago, the shirt still hadn't arrived in the mail by last Friday. I was brainstorming like crazy trying to decide what else to go as. And then I find out Friday that since I am the boss-person at work, my boss doesn't want me to dress up. (We almost had a Mitchell from Modern Family situation.) And then guess what shows up Saturday afternoon in the mailbox? The shirt for Sam Merlotte. Such a tragedy. Good thing I still love the shirt and plan on wearing it often.

So instead I went as my straight evil twin. (Meaning I dressed like normal, but pretended to talk about manly things, like women and football.) My coworkers enjoyed it.
