blackhawks

so i'm going to be a blackhawks fan for halloween. not much of a stretch, i know. but i figured it was the best costume i could come up with using the things i own. to beef up the idea i knew i'd need to buy some stuff from the blackhawks store here in chicago. i own two hats and a vintage jacket (not winter classic vintage, 80s vintage), plus some miscellaneous items. i figured i'd buy a t-shirt and temporary tattoos. at the store i immediately found the shirt i wanted, but i was initially distracted by the mini sticks that they give out to children at the games. if i couldn't find anything else to compliment my outfit, a hockey stick would definitely be the way to go. looking around some more, i couldn't find tattoos or stickers. apparently they do not carry temporary tattoos, though you can sometimes find them at the stadium. they did have stickers, which still wasn't quite what i was looking for, and decals with a thin white border like i wanted. i settled for the decals. my only concern about them is that they'll pull all of my skin off of my face. we'll see.

getting home and trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my day, i found out that the hawks were actually playing tonight. to go to the bar and sport my costume, or not. i ended up deciding no, since i had already spent enough money today on the shirt and stickers. watched the game on the local cable in my new shirt. they beat nashville 2-0. maybe the shirt will bring some luck. even more reason to have bought it. oh no the fan is taking over...
