howdy.

i'm going to a party for two soon-to-be 27 year olds, and it's a 'Died at the age of 27' theme party. apparently loads of famous rock stars (Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain...) died at the age of 27.

but i don't look like a rock star. does anyone know of any famous/interesting/easy-to-dress-up-as people who died at age 27?

live fast, die at 27. i think i'll live slow, ok thx.

you could just assume that old Leon was born on October 30 or later. If Wikipedia doesn't know i'm sure no one at the party will either.

Getting rid of the fucking dreads might be a start. Then, a quick haircut (and wash!!), ff you cultivate that beard and have droopy eyes all nights you could pass for Cobain. wink

Glen Benton out of Deicide said he would kill himself when he turned 33 - he didn't because he's a fucking pathetic satanic death metal twat. Band had soem good songs though.
