Both nights we met a bunch of friends on Frenchman Street. We didn't actually go anywhere on Frenchman, we literally just hung out in the street. New Orleans is hilarious to me in this way. This is the second time since we've been down here that we've experienced this phenomenon. The street wasn't closed and cars would occasionally try to drive down it, but there were hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of people in the street. In the MIDDLE of the street there is drinking, dancing, live music, and general merriment. The police don't bother to try to shut it down, but they also don't seem to direct traffic away from the street that is completely impassable. Like I said, it's fascinating.
Here are some of my favorite costumes from Halloween:
Double mint twins
Ambiguously gay duo
Muppets, these were incredible handmade costumes
Mad Max crew
Beetlejuice
This is not a costume it's just a huge and creepy snake
Ronald McDonald, Grimace and the Hamburglar
Zombie bride
White and black swans
Papa Smurf
The Pink Ladies
Super awesome robot
Discoball
Katy Perry and Russell Brand
Oh, and of course the mister and I:
