We haven’t done the whole “Rate My Halloween Costume” bit yet this season, so I’m putting myself out there for All Hallow’s Eve.
If you listen on the regular–or you’ve listened to Boston radio over the years–you know I’ve been around the block a few times. Back in the early 2010s, I returned to the place where I started my radio career: the legendary (and now defunct) alternative station WFNX. When FNX went off the air in May of 2012, the spirit was resurrected a few months later, online at Boston.com’s RadioBDC. One of the traditions we took with us was throwing killer Halloween parties.
For a stretch there from the late ’00s through the mid ’10s, I spent my Halloweens and Halloweekends putting in a shift or two in the DJ booth. Naturally, I came to work in costume. If you were a regular participant in Boston nightlife during those years, and you found yourself celebrating Halloween at Ned Devine’s in Faneuil Hall or The Harp at North Station or the Idle Hands taproom in Malden, chances are you were probably dancing in costume to the songs I was spinning. And while your costumes were probably leagues better and more creative than mine, I threw together a few that were memorable.
Rate My Halloween Costume: Adam 12 Edition
Scroll through a six-pack of my better looks from over the years, then hit up the ROCK 92.9 Facebook or Twitter or Instagram and let me know what you think. My personal favorite was my Halloween 2021 costume. Not only because I legitimately love the person I dressed up as, but because said person noticed my shenanigans and made a good joke about it. Oh, and while I have you here, vote in my latest 12-Inch Poll, as it’s Halloween-themed. And Happy Halloween!
