Costume Prep

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:42:08 -0700

Yesterday I went into a big sporting goods store to acquire some last-minute costume accessories. I picked up a headband and wristbands before heading to the checkstand being manned by a girl my age.

“Halloween costume?” she said as I walked up. What? Because I’m not athletic-looking enough to actually need these things for any sort of physical activity?

“Yep,” I said.

“Who are you being?”

“Richie Tenenbaum,” I said, thinking that I would certainly get a bright smile of recognition, at least.

“Huh.”

“He’s a character in a really great movie. Um. Called ‘The Royal Tenenbaums.’”

Unabashedly she noted that she’d never heard of it and preceded to relate a story: “Lotsa people are in here buying movie character costumes. This one guy was buying stuff for a hunter costume. It’s, I guess, a Johnny Depp movie, but I didn’t know it.”

I knew immediately that she meant Hunter S. Thompson and Fear and Loathing. I turned to the guy behind me in line and he gave a knowing glance. Huh.

Zachary Gore - After Words

This is a cover of a song written by my brother, Ben.

He covered mine a little while ago, so I thought I’d return the compliment.

flickchart.com is great but leads to really tough decisions like:

What’s better: Reservoir Dogs or High Fidelity?

…I went with High Fidelity. But, yikes.

Thank You?

heyitseva:

Zach and I have this idea for a little book of backhanded compliments. So far we have only worked out some standard ones ( winning “most improved”, “You have completely exceeded my expectations.”, “Who did your makeup?”), and some fat jokes (“I have a lot of friends, but you outweigh them all.”)

What are some of your favorites?

Oh man, Eva! I just remembered this! From more than a year and a half ago! Wowzers.

The trigger: “You’re at least twice the man I am.”

Woah. Unreal.

Be a part of Here and Gone!

This film had a pretty small budget, but had one nonetheless. In addition, we’re hoping to get it out to a handful of film festivals in the next few months, many of which require an entry fee. This will take the kind of cash that doesn’t come easily to the little guys like us.

If you want to help us out AND receive a one-of-a-kind photograph actually used in the creation of this film, please send a self-addressed stamped envelope and a dollar bill (or, you know, more) to:

Here and Gone
511 NE 72nd St.
Seattle, WA 98115

You’ll receive one random 4x6 printed photograph for every dollar you send us (unless you state otherwise) while supplies last. Autographs are also available upon request for no additional charge!

Love,
Zach.

UPDATE: You can now donate online via PayPal! If you choose this option, add an extra dollar per photo for shipping/handling/packaging!
