when the freaks come out to play.

the city has definitely changed how i perceive "halloween". 

past memories include family pumpkin carvings, 

neighborhoods banding together, and kids skipping to and fro

with pillow-made candy bags in tow.

but out here, it's simple:

nyc + halloween = freaks {and lots of 'em} 

so this year we went to the west village halloween parade

not to watch the parade, but rather the people.

much more entertaining.
