General
This year's West Hollywood Halloweeen Parade was a huge success. Big thanks to Growly for organizing it again this year. I had the idea of making a poster-board sign that said, "Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!," which was more if a hit than I was expecting. In total, we had 30 furries attend, 18 suiters and 12 handlers, 1/2 of which I never saw. As with all the other We-Ho parades, we furries broke up into our own groups of 3-5 and wandered the parade route. Its amazing how easy it is to loose furry critters in 1/2 million people. And just like the other years, we were stopped every few feet for photos. There was such a large group of us that we actually blocked the parade route when 20-30 photographers would huddle in front of us like we're Hollywood Celebrities. I captured some of the madness on my go-pro but the battery died 1/2 through the parade. Up to writing this journal, I've found 3 news sources that aired our antics on TV plus multiple smaller websites with our photos. And everyday, I'm finding more photos of videos of us. I feel like this Halloween was one of the best so far. 2014's Halloween falls on a Friday so I expect it to be even epic-er. I'll be working on a Halloween Music Video this year so If you have any footage or photos, please sent them my way via skype "Whiskey Foxtrot".
That being said, I feel like I need to apologize to many of my fellow furries; My foot paws were built around a pair of $20 chinese shoes. After an hour of standing, they get mighty uncomfortable. Combine uncomfortable shoes with a mangled foot and my patience and temper become short. I barked at a few furiends who didnt deserve it. (I gotta see if I can commission a new set of foot paws from
madefuryou built around some American-made boots.)

sign note: I had to look it up; Lilly Tomlin playing Ernestine on Laugh-In from 1970-1973.
Also, Hotrod suited the whole time even though it's only a partial.
hope i can make the next one! glad you had fun!
Attending this was truly was blast, I was just prepared for the amount of traffic that we had to fight through to make our way into and ouy Hollywood that night
