QbertCostume

Halloween 2006 is over! I was happy to win the Best Character contest at work. I've won 4 years in a row now! Woot!

I've got lots of goodies about my costume here this year. I'm including the plans that I scribbled down before making the costume as well as sound effects, pictures, and some videos of the costume in action.

Here's what Q*Bert looks like:
