halloween 2002 roderick as a wizard "roderick was volunteering in high schools, trying to earn some brownie points that would get him into the teaching program at s.f.u.  the lord of the rings was popular and he wanted a wizard costume, but something that would be more easily recognizable for his students than gandalf the grey.  textile clearance house had a number of great satin prints, and he settled on this one.  the hat nearly killed me, to be honest, as it has heavy wire all through the brim.  but rod's a dream to make costumes for - he's always willing to chauffeur me around to get what i need, and often picks up a meal for me so i don't have to stop working."
