Jeff Hammett and his wife Kinsee Morlan (arts editor at San Diego CityBeat) in the most literary Halloween costume we've received here at Culture Lust. They dressed up as the cover of "Trout Fishing in America," by Richard Brautigan. Their picture even made the New Yorker's book blog in 2008.
Tomorrow, we'll have a special These Days show about Halloween costumes and decorating ideas, so if the last round of posts haven't sparked your creativity, tune in to 89.5FM at 10am to hear Maureen talk with KPBS film critic Beth Accomando, KPBS producer Andy Trimlett, and Reader columnist Barbarella Fokos. They all have some spooky and cost-effective ideas for your Halloween.
