Anyone planning or thinking of going to the West Hollywood Halloween Parade on Friday night?

Don't be shy.

I'll be there! No clubs for me this Halloween. BYOB though. They don't sell any on the streets and you'll nver get in to bar. Going to be totally nuts. Takes about 2 hours to drive from Highland to the local when Halloween it's on a Friday!
Anyone know a website to find details on? I'm curious about the talent playing this year. Every once in a while they get some good stuff. BT a few years back.

i sent the last two years. had a lot of fun hanging out with my friends. it can get really wild and gay (no offence) in the past it was more fun because the most wild costumes were the most fun..

now people bring their kids, and its a huge tourist nitemare.

i'll be at avalon

p.s. they do sell beer and liquior. i had no trouble getting into a small drinking area and it wasnt packed at all. ( was a makeshift bar in a hideout/cubbyway/alley just for temp spaces and selling booze.

beware lots of the police action around.

Been there a few times. Usually just bring some vodka in water bottles.
The crowd there is intersting and there are WAY to many people...but i doubt there are many better places in the country for costume watching. Usually I'm promoting on Halloween, so this should be cool...if I can ever make it there through the traffic.

yeah... those ******s are gona be out in full effect for Halloween.

Halloween is a money night for clubs, bars, dealers and so forth. it also seems to be a money night for the city of los angeles, tow truck drivers and... well, dealers.

Yeah...thinking about taking a cab from a friends and just have it drop us off a mile or 2 away. Who wants want to drive any where Halloween anyway if you can avoid it? It's a accident or DUI waiting to happen. Especially this year. Don't know if I've ever seen a real Friday night Halloween. Last time it was on Friday I was promoting for Traffic and Homemade for the Haunted Hotel @ the Roosevelt. Was a great time but it rained that year so not as many people went out.
