I had every intention of being a mummy. It didn't work out too well, so I had to change costumes at the last minute. I sacrificed a sheet and a pillow case and made a really lame ghost costume. I cut a hole in the sheet for my head, and the pillowcase covered my head.
If you ever want to look like a Ku Klux Klan member, this is a really great way to do it. The point in the corner of the pillowcase above my forehead really made an ominous effect. I had real reservations about going out in it and doing the gig, but I did anyway. It lasted 1 set, and I had to take it off because my eye cutouts would end up near my nose from bobbing my head to the music, and I couldn't see. It kinda sucked looking at the inside of a mask when playing, trying to see everybody else for the final note.
The gig sucked anyway. Very few people showed and our bass player had major equipment problems.
