Hallowbaloo!


[Update Nov. 2 - Judging from the Metromix party pix this event really did turn into a bash, with some really cool costumes. We did see the stilt-walker peacock lady, but she went by through a crowd with her tail-feathers down and I couldn't get a good shot of her. Anyway, the photos are fun, so check 'em out. :)]

Tonight Kevin and I moseyed on down to Chinatown for the first annual Hallowbaloo Music and Arts Festival. This very old historic section of Honolulu has become a fulcrum of the arts community here, with galleries and antique shops and some very lovely restaurants.

This was the first Hallowbaloo, and since I brought Kevin, we went and left early. It was a bit slow in starting, but by the time we left around 8 pm, it was hoppin' with costumed people of all ages, wonderful food, dancing Chinese dragons, and some really fine music. For a first annual event, it was very well attended, and looked like it would become a rollicking bash by the time it ends at 1:30 am. All in all, quite the good time.

Of course, it was a perfect excuse to take some photos, too. :)











Aloha and Happy Halloween!!!
