Tuesday, October 31: Halloween-parade

For most Americans, Halloween is the best excuse to go totally crazy. On Tuesday night I went to the 6th avenue parade. My Halloween experience started when, getting into the elevator in my building, I encountered Darth Vader, a non-muscular version of King Kong & a female devil/nurse. Since this is apparently very normal behaviour THEY looked at ME in a strange way like as if I was dressed abnormal...

Anyway, the subway was crowded with festive/drunk/... people and when I got to 14th street it almost seemed like the entire city was out on the street partying and drinking. I didn't see a lot of the actual parade because there were tons of people trying to get to 6th avenue and police was blocking the way.

On my way back I discovered a nice little art gallery that was having an exposition with a jazz band playing in the background. A nice way to end the evening...
