This morning I headed over to Truman College for early voting and found myself in a surprisingly long line. My appreciation for my fellow citizens' desire to have their voices heard somewhat mellowed my irritation for being in a long line that didn't appear to be moving.
Unfortunately, because I was unwilling to give up my spot I wasn't able to take a picture of the most fantastic Halloween costume EVER.
This guy, wearing a homemade sheriff's hat (paper star on the front) and an old west style handlebar mustache, had created cardboard horses - complete with manes, reigns, saddles and tails - for either side of his wheelchair. On the back was a cardboard cell that had "Uptown Jail" written at the top and a sad looking felon peering through the markered bars.
It was the perfect combination of costume and outsider art, perhaps even better than the guy with the undertaker's suit, umbrella and gloves who used to sell Spare Change outside of Christina's ice cream shop in Inman Square.
