Evidence of Ghosts
October 31, 2007
After bringing the scaffolding home from the studio, rigging an old sushi restaurant sign on top, and lighting it for two nights, the neighborhood was primed for the KaBOOki HauNted SuSHi BaR.
We got around 600+ kids and lots of curious adults. It was great fun to have them explain their costumes before they ordered from the sushi bar, and actually turned into a long line for most the evening. Lots of ninja, goth cheerleaders, spider men and women, and a few chickens and dinosaurs.
Not many people have a Hoshizaki sushi cooler to serve candy. For the kids who actually WANTED sushi, I had to explain the chef called in sick, and we only had candy and cookies.
After most of the trick-or-treaters left, a ghost visited our house. I got this photo as evidence, but later found out the ghost was actually a remote-control invention built on a wheelchair base. I guess craziness attracts craziness. But what do you expect from a girl in a retro kimono, ghoul face, and swiss cheese watch?

Looks like you guys had toooooo much fun!!
Congrats on PaMdora’s good press too.
John Belushi’s ghost was also there. i recognized him by the black curly hair and the samurai sword action. He looks much better postmortem having dropped about 80 lbs and is far more attractive! He was quite the appropriate consort for the barmaid. Definitely THE trick or treat destination in the city. i overheard a phone conversation down the block that included detailed directions to the Kabooki house…Big, big fun.
Hi Mary! it was so great of you to bring extra candy when our stock started to get thin. Your Skittles and Starbursts were big hits. Thanks for the rescue!
Next year I’m coming to your house on Halloween. I had one pirate, a chicken, and four cute young girls dressed as football players. Snooze!
LOVE the kimono -I would say that KaBOOki night must have been THE place to be ! Great fun by the looks of it !
Hi Marie!
I dug that kimono out of an old box in my studio, so was pretty excited to see the design again.
Well darn! I would have come too!
Unfortunately we still have extra candy, which I’ve been eating non-stop since that night!
Oh wow, what a blast. I love your decor - no wonder people lined up to visit. Very fun. Congrats on the magazine spread - you deserve it.
