I'd love to, but I'm already going as a Halogen floodlight with motion sense Of Garden & hourse. Or possibly some wicker furniture. Or some industrial amount of taiwanese carpeting or something. Besides, what's the John costume look like? "Hey, I'm Flansy, I've got glasses and stage presence!" "Hey, I'm Linny, I've got this accordion and the scoliosis it gives!" "I'm wearing a t-shirt!" "I've got a better sense of Melody than you!" This could get ugly.

Olaf sez: >Besides, what's the John costume look like? Linnell would be easy. Rectangular black glasses, black jeans, olive-green lowtop Converse (or black or white hightops if you don't want to be current), and a turtleneck (black or light blue or tan or red or blue and orange striped would all work cos they're in the videos, and I've got concert photos of him wearing a green one also), striped shirt (there's that blue and red one he wears a *lot*, and he has a black and white one also), pocket t-shirt, or regular t-shirt with blue rings on the collar and sleeves (he wore a yellow one on the Sep. 10 Daily Show interview, and I've seen him wear orange and olive green ones too).
