That's so cool! I'd love to get to one of the festivals, but I'm affraid I don't have the esthetic to pull off a costume like your in-laws.

And Visualize something between a "Mad Max" Vehicle, a "WW1 Armored Car" and a "Boiler Powered" lunar lander.......

I suppose my gray with white pinstripe coveralls that look like old time steam rr engineer coveralls and a pair of my welding goggles (like the ones it seems every costume has with the clip on eye loope) and a pair of gloves I've had since I was a teenager could be pressed into service. Hmmm...
