BANDS! FOOD! BOOBS! ART! BOOZE!

KRAMPUS COSTUME CONTEST! This year we celebrate Krampusnacht on Saturday December 7th. This is a temporary history of Krampus we have provided for you via Wikipedia:The Feast of St. Nicholas is celebrated in parts of Europe on 6 December. On the preceding evening of 5 December, Krampus Night or Krampusnacht, the wicked hairy devil appears on the streets. Sometimes accompanying St. Nicholas and som

etimes on his own, Krampus visits homes and businesses. The Saint usually appears in the Eastern Rite vestments of a bishop, and he carries a golden ceremonial staff. Unlike North American versions of Santa Claus, in these celebrations Saint Nicholas concerns himself only with the good children, while Krampus is responsible for the bad. Nicholas dispenses gifts, while Krampus supplies coal and the ruten bundles. This bit of Krampus history is just simple introduction for the uninitiated BWAHAHAHA!!

Louisville Halloween Parade was amazing this year. From our vantage point on the main float it was pure chaos in the streets. The crowd was cheering and kids were smiling, the vendors were waving, candy was had and the costumes were wonderful. I've been part of the old parade and it was great, but kind of underwhelming when it came to being in the parade. I'm glad it's in the hands of people that actually love Halloween as much as I do. Finally. Next year we will have to mount a gopro to the Louisville Krampus float, so everyone can see what we saw.
