Nov. 5, 2006 - Hollywood Halloween
I guess I should have posted about this last week, but Hollywood Halloween is a real phenomenon.
I've never seen this kind of celebration of Halloween anywhere else.
Gouls and witches mix with pirates and movie stars in a never-ending procession up and down the boulevard, both sides of the street -- the street is packed with them.
Great costumes, people of all ages, parents wheel their todlers in carriages, teens, the nightclub twenty somethings and all the way up to 50 and 60-year olds.
It's the funniest event, because there's no entertainment except for one another's costumes -- no music, no refreshments except for the Latina hotdog stands, grilling their onion and bacon hotdogs on the corners.
And it goes on for hours!
I drove through at 11:30 pm and they were still going strong.
It's the oddest Hollywood celebrations I've ever seen and it happens every year, the same way.
