TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! LET'S CELEBRATE THE TKC 45TH ANNUAL KANSAS CITY COSTUME PARTY!!!

It has been a strange, bloody and disastrous time of year. But we're not going to let any of that ruin our party!!!

To wit . . .

TKC'S 45TH ANNUAL COSTUME PARTY IS KANSAS CITY'S GREATEST HALLOWEEN TRADITION THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE DANGEROUS RANDOM HOOKUPS OR ARSON!!!

Our guess list is always the most distinguished, let's see who we're expecting and their costumes.

Mayor Sly is slated to show up as Thulsa Doom as a kind of shout-out to all of our Fantasy geeks who still believe in this Mayor's Administration.



It's a tough costume to wear but Mayor Sly is always so cheerful and charismatic that he can seemingly do anything.



We know times are tough so we're expecting a lot of formerly middle-class freeloaders dressed in costumes from The Great Depression . . .



Or at least that's what we're going to politely assume.

SOME OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL NAMES ARE ALWAYS INVITED TO THE TKC KANSAS CITY HALLOWEEN COSTUME PARTY!!!



Get ready to welcome Bishop Finn who will be disguised as a Priest.



Believe it or not, I've heard about a great costume . . . Somebody is going to show up in costume as the upcoming Downtown Hotel . . . OR at least that's what I'm taking from a rather elaborate Hindenburg costume.

And then . . .



Don't forget The Kansas City Cross-Dressing Bank Robber!!! He/she is charged but not yet convicted and I'm certain down to party.

Best of all . . .



OCCUPY KC WILL BE CAMPING OUT IN FRONT OF MY KANSAS CITY COSTUME PARTY DRESSED LIKE OLD SCHOOL HIPPIES SO THEY CAN STAY IN CHARACTER!!!

Sure, they can't sing, dance and they are absolutely no help in planning a big event but I like their stupid self-confidence and earnest commitment to do nothing in particular that's always great fun in small doses. Caution around the tents though . . .

More local friends . . .



OF COURSE ALL FORMER AND FUTURE FORMER EMPLOYEES OF THE KANSAS CITY STAR WILL BE WELCOMED AT THE TKC COSTUME PARTY!!!

There's no end to the Great Recession in sight and the future of an obsolete form of communication is even worse. So I thought they could use some cheering up and I think their zombie costumes (I hope) are delightfully apropos.

Moreover . . .



TONIGHT MARY SANCHEZ WILL BE THE GUEST OF HONOR AT OUR KANSAS CITY HALLOWEEN PARTY!!! I THINK SHE'S IN COSTUME AS A WITCH BUT I'M WAY TOO SCARED TO ASK HER!!!

Clarification for TKC . . . I've heard about her flying around on a broom during summer so your guess is as good as mine.

And because I'm all inclusive . . . I don't just invite the local elite but I'm also reaching out to their assistants . . .



For instance, Kansas City Mayor Sly's Chief Of Staff John McGurk just might show up wearing some traditional African garb if we're lucky!!!

Finally . . .



Local ladies of all kinds can feel free to try and emulate Candice Swanepoel and squeeze into a sexy French maid outfit . . . Not to spoil the surprise, but of course ladies attending this bash will be expected to clean up.

So . . . While I'm living the good life here in My Mom's basement and ignoring Trick Or Treat miniature beggars while hording candy on this wonderful holiday . . . I invite your costume suggestions . . . And more importantly, I'd like to wish all of Kansas City a safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
