From a spectator standpoint, it is a fun night out, doing something totally different than you normally get to do. The floats are all really well-done, and the personalities of the groups shine through the costumes and makeup. As a participant this year, I got to see some of the behind the scenes of a very well-organized event. How you successfully wrangle that many individual groups with participants totaling into the thousands, I'll never understand. The provided a form that had to be filled out several weeks in advance, with all of our information, and that was the script the Emcees read. (The Emcees were great and their costumes were killer). They sent out a really comprehensive packet of information ahead of time, and then held an informational meeting for participants. By the time the parade arrived we still had any questions, that's our fault! I highly recommend this excellent event every year and hope it is part of the landscape for years to come.

Although I have never particpated, it is a sight to behold. The costumes, floats and genral craziness are a great departure from the everyday humdrum of OKC life. This year I got to experience it from a whole new (and what will likely be a great venue to come) perspective. The parade route was changed and it now goes mostly down the newest area of OKC to go under urban renewal - Midtown. I was fortunate enought to attend the "Cat On A Hot 10 Roof" Halloween Party in the old Packard Building (on NW 10th and Robinson). Yelpers take note...this will be one of OKCs newest rooftop bars when it fully opens, I believe they are going to just call it 10 Roof. It is a part of the new restaurant being built below it - Packard's New American Kitchen, at least that is the tentative name. Owned by the people responsible for the Interurban chain this will be a departure from their traditional burgers and beer menu and offer unique and different offerings from which they catered the Halloween party. I don't yet believe they've decided on a full menu but the bottom restaurant is ultra modern looking and the rooftop deck is divine and will not only be a place to watch the Halloween Parade but no doubt a destination on the rise. I will be glad when it finally opens and appears on yelp to be reviewed thoroughly but just a heads up - this will be another fantastic location in Midtown.

This rusted fire escape is suspended between two buildings in Midtown Oklahoma City. It was salvaged from a nearby hotel and is named after the double helix of DNA that it sort of resembles. The fire escape, which originally stretched from the third floor into the basement of the hotel, was removed via crane during the renovations. After one of the building's owners saw it suspended in midair during the moving process, it was decided to preserve the spiraling structure and give it a new home in the sky above a nearby courtyard.
