Want to see something scary?
This Saturday, you are cordially invited to join us for our traditional tomfoolery in the Village Halloween Parade. A bunch of us participate every year, and it never fails to be lots of fun!
The parade is of course the main Halloween celebration in New York – and many say the entire country, if not the entire world. Starting at Sixth Street and Broome Avenue, the parade marches uptown all the way to 21st street. Anyone in costume is welcome to march in the parade, and your fellow paraders will be all over the spectrum from the quickest face-paint job or dollar-store mask to creations so elaborate your head will spin. For more info, check out the event’s Wikipedia article and official site.
Many NYC2600 folks, including this editor, occasionally or regularly participate in the parade. In years past, many of us have managed to gather before the parade, dig each other’s costumery, perform at the event together, and hang out afterward on the one truly wild event of this scale our town has left.
The plans can be finalized via this post in our Livejournal forum. (A Livejournal account isn’t required to post comments, anonymous comments are enabled. An OpenID will also work.) You can use those comment threads to discuss meeting up, or contact me privately and I’ll be sure to keep you in the loop.
Regulars, newbies, and complete strangers alike are all more than welcome to join us! Get in touch.
