Support your source for local news!
Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

Who says there's anything we wouldn't do for our readers? Here we are in all of our glory and humiliation for your viewing pleasure.

We start off with our fearless leader, Mr. Tony Pierce, as Jack White. He has a very cute Meg, so he must be doing something right.

Other LAist's memorable costumes:

Ryan Jesena: When I was 11 years old, i was Chuck Norris for Halloween, and no I'm
not sending pictures

An Tran: In 2nd grade I went to school on Halloween dressed as a "chinese person." I wore silk pajamas, slippers and walked around with my hands in prayer. I thought since I'm Vietnamese that I was being soooo clever. Of course no one got it. I also lived in Indiana and most people didn't even know Vietnam was a country.

Ashleigh Lane: My best costume was when my two best friends and I dressed as the Chipettes
from Alvin and the Chpmunks. I was Brittany...it was very awesome and accurate. but alas, my pics were taken with film..i have no digital copies of that awesomeness

La Scumbag: Two years ago i went as Dave Chappelle. And i'm a white guy, so people lost their minds. Oh man, my ex has some pictures but she's holding them hostage!
