I have been doing a lot of thinking. I realize that now is the time to start thinking about my Halloween 2k10 costume, instead of waiting til the last minute. I have made the decision to be an altCeleb in 2k10, but I am not sure who will be ‘relevant’ in exactly 1 year.
Have no idea what 2k10 will be like… Feeling nervous/anxious… Might need some sort of anti-depressant.
Will Steve Aoki still be relevant?

Maybe Steve Aoki will be a good ‘ironic’ costume in the year 2k26.

I am not sure if it will still be authentic to be a DJ for Halloween in 2k10, since DJ+Electro culture may or may not be dead.
I still feel like M.I.A. deserves tons of alt points for her concept, craftsmanship, timeliness, and execution.

Empire of the Sun bros seem like they also deserve ‘mad props’ for their dedication to ‘the Aussie scene.’

Maybe I should just go 2 Halloween as ‘the fat Jonas Brother.’
