(West Village-WABC, October 31, 2005) - It's one of the most outrageous parades in the country. But Monday night, New York City's Halloween parade is also becoming one of the poignant.
The 2 mile parade in the village, led tonight by a talented 10 year old musician from New Orleans, who lost both his horn and his home to Hurricane Katrina.

There were also costumes from monsters to Metrocards.
If there one theme this year it was New Orleans. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, a collection was taken at the beginning of the parade to help some of the people participating -- some of whom are still homeless.

Hey, Jesus freaks, this is what Halloween is about. FUN! I know you folks are so tight-assed you don't even dance (how can you not dance?) but the Devil wasn't conjured up last night (Lord help his ass if he jumps up in the middle of a New York party), neither did any other 'pagan' shit come out of the sky, ground, or hyperspace. Just a big time party and goodwill to our fellow Americans who also enjoy a good party. Maybe you guys should lighten up? You're missing out on some good shit. I believe even Jesus was in attendance last night.
