I’m just

SAYIN’ {

Get the full scoop on Hoopla, what’s in this issue and whatever else we want.

It seems there are two camps when it comes to Halloween. Those who plot their costumes for months in advance, secretly cackling at their cleverness and their friend’s oohs and aahs when they make their debut Oct. 31. Then there are others, who will be scrambling for a last-minute costume idea on All Hallow’s Eve. Judging from the responses to our weekly question on Page 3, most of the Hoopla crew counts themselves in the latter of the two groups. If you’re like us, it’s Thursday and you still don’t have a plan. That’s OK. We have a plan for you, even if we don’t for ourselves. Check out page 11 for two how-to’s with final results that will make your skin crawl. Go back to Halloween’s roots with these gory looks. Who needs sexy nurses or clever pop culture costumes when you can have exposed arteries or burned flesh? Not for you? Check out HooplaNow.com for more Halloween goodies. There you’ll find stories on this year’s most popular costumes, Halloween events around E. Iowa, maps and reviews of haunted houses and info on the real creepy places in the area.

If you’re pretty proud of your costume or end up with some great pics from this weekend, share them with us. After this weekend you’ll be able to upload them to the site. And, of course you can always share on Facebook at

As for me. I fall squarely in the don’t-have-a-clue what I’m going to be category. Halloween just isn’t my holiday. Thanksgiving, Christmas. I’m all over it. But Halloween always feels like a test of my cleverness. And I fail every year. In college I dressed up as a hippie more often than I should admit. It was just so easy. As an adult, my costumes haven’t been much more successful. My favorite year was when my husband and I and some friends went as the Scooby Doo gang, complete with our own live Scooby. This year, I’m struggling to come up with a costume. I think I’m trying too hard.

Don’t be surprised if you see me Saturday with bell bottoms and a peace sign.

The Java House

Many Iowa Citians take for granted the UI Hospitals and Clinics, which are consistently ranked near the top in overall care and have the distinction of dozens of “onlys” to its credit both in the state of Iowa and nationwide. They also inspire volunteerism in thousands who give their own time and compassion to others, making UIHC the best place to volunteer.

If you’re looking for a skinny mocha, a good conversation with a friend or a place to study or work quietly, the Java House in downtown Iowa City is your best option. There are few better ways to spend a bitterly cold winter night than inside with a warm drink. Why not do so with other cool people in a mellow, welcoming atmosphere? The looseleaf teas really hit the spot, and did I mention the skinny mochas?

Vine

The people

If you’re looking for elite athletic displays, fervent fan involvement and jaw-dropping drama, there’s no better place to spectate than a University of Iowa athletic event. The football team provides arguably the best overall experience, but don’t forget the other sports, both men’s and women’s. If you’re wondering what to do on a Friday night, see if there’s a volleyball game in town.

Iowa City/Coralville is home to countless quality eating establishments and a vibrant night life. But few places combine the two as well as The Vine. I’m partial to the downtown location, where a youthful crowd commingles with families and couples. It’s a great place to catch a game with other fans on one of the well-placed televisions. Be sure to try the Crispy Buffalo Chicken sandwich.

The Corridor can be summed up in one word: amazing. My friends, my co-workers, the people I pass on the street are intelligent, goodtempered and genuinely nice individuals. The utter selflessness displayed over a year ago by Corridor residents during the flood of 2008 showed how incredible this community is. It was awesome to be part of, and a major reason why I came back to live in Iowa City.

HALLOWEEN MAKEUP This year don’t be the dope dressed like the guy from “Twilight” or the 12th Kate Gosselin at the gala. Sure. Pop culture costumes have their place, but this Halloween go back to the origins of All Hallows Eve. That’s right. Go ghoulish. Go gory. Get bloody. C’mon.

BABY YOU’RE GORE-GEOUS!

BURN BABY, BURN!

Get this wound-er-ful look if you’re gunning for a role in the next installment of “Saw” or you just want to freak out your mom. Perfect it and, who knows, maybe you’ll find a whole new second career as a haunted house ghoul or extra in one of the Zombie movies being filmed in Eastern Iowa these days. Since the trick to this look is plenty of blood, remember that most fake blood stains. So don’t wear anything that you don’t mind staining or getting dirty. Hit up Goodwill or the Salvation Army to find old clothes for the night.

Are you burning to make a splash at an annual Halloween party? Try this technique and go as an eerily real looking burn victim. Add some charred clothes for good measure, if not good taste. Since when is Halloween PC anyway?

You’ll need:

Wound color makeup palette (Spirit Halloween) Liquid latex (Spirit Halloween) ● Black powder (Eye shadow is a good substitute. Find it for 99 cents at Sally Beauty) ● Gel/scab blood (Spirit Halloween/Walmart) ● Liquid blood (Spirit Halloween/Walmart) ● ●

Start with a dark red color, covering the entire area that you want to look burned. Fade the edges out as you get to them. ●

●

Once the latex is clear and dry, add light red coloring to the entire area to make it look agitated and to blend the piece in. Add some black coloring to the red in the wound itself to add depth.

Then go over the area with a brighter red, starting in the center, dabbing it on in different spots to add texture and depth. Add a bit of yellow as well.

Note: Read all manufactures directions and warnings.

Apply several thin layers of liquid latex to the area. The more layers you add, the more texture you will have. After this dries it will be clear. After it is dry, rub your finger over areas to tear holes in to the latex. You can also pinch the areas together so the latex will stick together, making creases in the skin as well as easier tearing spots.

How-to:

●

Start with the latex wound piece. Cover the area of skin (we went with the neck, you can choose whatever body part you want) where you want the wound with adhesive. Spray adhesive on the wound as well. Let the adhesive dry a bit to get tacky. This will make a better hold. Once tacky, affix the wound to the skin. ●

Add additional dark red and some black coloring in to the new holes and tear spots. Also add gel/scab blood into these areas. ●

●

To complete, dust with black powder and add blood.

Add gel/scab blood to the wound and around the edge of the piece to blend and hide the edges as needed. ●

● To finish, add liquid blood. Throats, heads wounds and noses bleed the most. So feel free to gore it up.

Do keep in mind to read all manufactures directions and warnings as well. And remember that most fake bloods stain, and to not wear anything that you don’t mind staining pink, or getting dirty. The Goodwill and Salvation Army stores are good places to find old clothes just for the character or the night. ●

Greening your life. One step at a time.

PLANNING TO GO GREEN Businesses who would like to “Go Green” are faced with a myriad issues around how to get started on the path in a practical and efficient manner. Similar to other projects of this size and magnitude, it helps to follow a structured path of guidelines augmented with reasonable goals and milestones that establishes progress and achievement along the way.

The following diagram is one we like to use to help businesses get their arms around the connect points used to shape a Green Business.

Education & awareness

Each connect point in the diagram consists of many practices and products that are used in conjunction with each other to achieve savings and efficiencies resulting from the efforts and accomplishments you put forth in shaping your leaner, greener and sustainable business model.

The Starlite Room is a Cedar Rapids landmark, so if you haven’t experienced this place yet, you need to give it a shot. The Starlite is like your grandparent’s basement, a place which hasn’t been updated in the past 40 years and yet is oddly comfortable. Vinyl chairs and wood paneling make up the bulk of the dated décor, but high tech enters the fray with fantastically large HDTVs. Eleven televisions dot the bar, with a few 55-inchers hanging on the wall showing the game in full HD glory. Since the Starlite is primarily a restaurant, you will find a ring of booths along the outside of the dining area, along with several large tables in the middle, so any size group can be easily accommodated. TVs surround the dining area, so there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The staff was also more than happy to increase the volume so we could hear the play by play. Starlite offers a pool table, some video games and even a pinball machine to play if the game gets boring.

RUNNING FOR A CAUSE (IN COSTUME) I hate running. In my opinion, there is nothing fun about it, except the part where it’s over and I can take a nap. Why I would agree to run a 5K on a cold, damp October morning can only be attributed to one thing – I could do it dressed as a pirate.

of Iowa children; a thought that helped ease my aching muscles. So, if you are like me and running really isn’t your thing, find a race that combines it with something that is. Bring along a running partner for support and encouragement — I would have walked the last mile if it wasn’t for mine — and keep your eye on the big, inflatable finish line. Because once the running is out

Yes, that’s right, a pirate. The organizers of the Muddy Monster 5/15K race at Seminole Valley Park had found my weakness. As much as I loathe running, I love Halloween; and I couldn’t resist the lure of donning my favorite costume and running along side the likes of Hansel and Gretel and Bret Michaels.
