Halloween in Atlanta can be described as The BEST TIME OF THE YEAR (we might lack the same level of stimulation the rest of the year). The humidity gets turned down & the L5P Parade gears up. Lemme edit the original comment & say the L5P Halloween Parade can be described as The BEST TIME OF THE YEAR. Little 5 is Atlanta's answer to the East Village --- or so I'm told yearly by the Atlanta Journal Constitution. I think they use the same line annually so new suburbanites are familiarized with the L5P street cred & become not afraid. It's kind of a joke, since Little 5 has suffered in recent years from a Giuliani-ing so complete, it now has a Starbucks. The old junkies have been replaced by new gutter punks who roll in from the nether regions of "Metro" Atlanta with all the confidence & bravado afforded to those who know they have a comfy place to sleep at night. But I digress.

Halloween kicks ass, but it has come to my attention that the L5P Business Association has complained about some contributions to last year's Parade. They've stated some entries were "too scary." Bad business owners Association. Please do not sanitize the parade for the folks who attend with children. Look, my mom was an frigging Pro at the cover my eyes, cover my ears move. She could bust that shit out in the blink of an eye-- before I had ANY idea I might be about to witness some boobs or something crazy. Learn it, please? Become the link to Moms in the 60s, 70s & early 80s-- they had that shit down. It is like Mom reflex action-- like the arm extend when coming to an abrupt stop in the car.

I googled 'scary halloween pictures' & the Anubis is what I got. That's scary? I guess it is if you are an ancient Egyptian.
