Random Ranting...

After another paycheck, I went around Vancouver with my cousin hunting for a costume he can wear as Oberon: King of the Fairies, for his school play (A Midsummer Night's Dream). We took the seabus to North Van to check out Capilano Mall and their stores there. I was expecting to see a big Wal-mart and Sears in there but to my utter disappointment, it was just a little mall. Needless to say, we did not find something that suited him. Given that halloween was very close by, we were expecting a lot of stores to be selling costumes. He's 14 by the way, but he's 6'2" tall too. We scoured downtown but we didn't find any. Then he suddenly remembered seeing a hobby shop a block away from our house so we decided on going there. We were passing through Pacific Center mall on our way to the Skytrain when I spotted a Footlocker and saw the jacket I've been wanting to buy since I saw it 2 weeks before. I tried on different sizes and finally decided I needed it anyway so I bought it. Then on to the Skytrain.

Upon reaching the hobby shop, we had a little shout of victory when we saw that it was still open. We were afraid it would be closed when we get there as the play was already the next day. We entered the store and knew right then and there that we've found it. There was an array of wigs, masks, costumes... all around you'll see something that can be used for halloween or even for horror/fantasy movies. We went home satisfied and ready for the next day. I wasn't dressing up for halloween so I didn't need to buy a costume.
