    Hello,

    My office is doing a competition for halloween. My row has decided to 70's. We're going to pick 2 celebrities that died during that decade and make a fake tombstone for them. Then we're going to outfit our cubicles with artificats from the period. I have a mini disco ball to use. We're getting a lava lamp. Budget is a concern (ie none).

    Any more suggestions??? I was thinking of putting up printouts of the beegees, Star Wars (obviously ), and other items. We're also gonna try tiedie shirts and platform shoes.

    Any ideas???

    Kevin

    Hello,

    I thought I could use Elvis as my dead celebrity from the 70's. I could also bring a hard hat in and go as one of the Village People!!!

    Seriously though, anymore thoughts????

    Just walk in smoking a great big fatty and tell your boss to chill out.

    lots of real dead people -- dead for about a 2 months works the best ... i can furnish you some excellent gore films (real) that you can project on the ceiling and walls while incense is burning and disco at very high levels is playing - intermixed with early Zappa ..


    i throw the BEST parties ...

    Hello,

    COOL!

    But we're sticking with dead celeberities from our time periods. There are 6 cubicles and two each are doing different periods from the 60's to the 80's.

    We're 70s.
