October is three days away, but that hasn't stopped talk between Michelle and I over what to be this coming Halloween. With that in mind I thought I'd post a nostalgic image of me in my Batman costume from 2nd grade.

I still remember being in love with Tim Burton's Batman and strongly deciding that I wanted to be Batman for Halloween. With a VHS tape in hand and my mother on board to be my workhorse, I set out to have her create the best homemade Batcostume ever. This might have been my very first design job, I still have the memory of art directing my mother. Making sure that I got exactly what I wanted. I would sit in front of the tv and pause the tape and say, "Look mom like that." I have to say that at that time you couldn't just go to Target and get a $20 costume and call it a day. Mom had to make it.

Thank you mom. It's okay I didn't win that year's costume contest.
