All Saints Day
I’d quite like to be in New Orleans today and head down to the cemeteries and watch the whitewashing, but i’m not…
Went to the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival last night. Pink, Berlin and a host of other not so great bands played to roughly 350,000 people jammed into a few blocks of Santa Monica Blvd. I’d say only roughly 40% of people were dressed up - note I say “dressed up”, not “in costume”. Probably only 20% were in costume. I don’t want to go off on a rant here, but really - girls, putting on your sexiest regular clothes, pushing up your tits and donning satan horns does not a halloween costume make. And gay guys - yes, great body, but you wear chaps with nothing else every day. Again, not a costume. A little more effort, people.
Oh, and the only way to get a drink was to go into one of the clubs - Rage, whatever the rest of them were called. Too much effort. They had food stands, where were the damn beer stands?
So, another Halloween has come and gone… next year, more exciting plans. Off to a sort of Halloween party tonight, a quick swing past Finn McCools, and some art opening in Chinatown that’s going until 2am. With any luck, they’ll still have some booze left by the time we arrive.
