What is the guy in the back with the stripes supposed to be?

I am completely jealous of my brother's costume for this year. my brother now has a stitch-for-stitch replica of this doctor who scarf (made by my momz). just add a cheap raincoat & cutoff gloves.

sat. before halloween we at capones will be hosting free party:

Capones Cosmic Disco, in space nobody can hear you dance.

all space music all night long.

we'll probably be too lazy to decorate but maybe we'll bring some tin foil.

dress as an astronaut or alien, or where your normal costume and say you're an alien. "I'm a bear...an ALIEN bear!"

Tang cocktail specials.

THE MAKING OF … THE DAFT PUNK HELMETS
These helmets were commissioned by the punk band Daft Punk for a music video. Over
the years, LED Effects has received many inquiries from people who wanted to purchase
their own helmet. Unfortunately, these helmets are custom designed stage props and
cost over $14,000. While the helmets are reasonably simple in design, the cost of labor
and materials make it impractical to mass produce and market them. In addition, Daft
Punk owns the copyright and concept rights to the helmets, so there may be additional
licensing fees to pay. In short, yes, we can build you a helmet, but it will cost you
thousands of dollars and take a year to produce.
Here is how the helmets were made:
1. A model shop cast the face of the musician. This was used to create a bust which was
used as a template for the design.
2. The next step was to modify a motorcycle helmet. The body was cut away to allow for
cables and electronics. Two pin holes were provided so the wearer could see out.
3. Clay models were created for all the unique parts. This included a back pack and an arm
band controller.
4. Electronic displays were designed using prototype PC board materials.
5. The LED display panels were assembled by placing each LED one-by-one into a plastic
sheet and glued into place. Each LED required three feet of wiring to connect it to power
and control circuitry. The finished panel was bolted to the helmet frame.
6. The LED cabling was routed around the “ears” of the helmet and out the back. The
helmet cables led down to the backpack where the main controller board was located.
7. The system was originally powered by batteries, but this was later switched over to a
power cord system.
8. The control keypad on the armband was a custom manufactured PC board.
9. Exterior plastic molding and finishing materials were custom manufactured by a special
effects studio to complete the helmet. Once these pieces were added, the helmet details
were touched up with paint.
The helmets were used to produce a music video. As far as we are aware, the units are
still in use for performances.

due to unfortunate and unforseen events, we've had to move the Haunted Disco party to a new spot, luckily we got one of my favorites. The awesome back room at Union Pool. So without further ado...

Come to the Haunted Disco! The ghost of Dan Selzer, Jeremy Campbell's re-animated corpse and Matt Radune's posessed body DJ at the haunted disco, aka the back room of Union Pool. Scary costumes recommended...Velvet Vampire? Xanadu Zombie? Leisure Suit Lycanthrope? Studio 54 Slasher? George Hamilton in Love at First Bite? Pretty Scary!

This is our third annual halloween party/birthday party for my favorite person ever Nicole. You may remember Wild Kingdom at M Shanghai last year, or Disco in Space at Capones 2 years ago. You may not because you were too drunk. Whatever, this will be a lot of fun. A nice space and good music and great DJs and stupid costumes. what more do you want? Please spread the word and tell friends so people know not to go to the previous location and that this is where the fun will be.

Saturday October 27th 10pm
Union Pool Back Room
484 Union Ave and Meeker, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Take the L train to Lorimer or the G to Metropolitan.
