Halloween in New Orleans 2008
Anyone going? Since I canceled my trip to Southern Decadence, I'm toying with the idea of going to Halloween instead.
The Gay Halloween website says it will be held October 23-26, which is obviously the week before Halloween. With October 31 being on a Friday, wouldn't people rather go that weekend? I'm confused....

Probably going again this year, but haven't decided for sure. ecaarch is right, although if Halloween were to fall on a Saturday, I think they would hold the main event on the actuall Halloween night and use Sunday 11/1 as a recovery Sunday. I believe the tradition is to hold the main event on the last Saturday in October, which is why it's a "week early" this year.
On the good side of the ledger, Alegria Halloween is being held on 11/2, so real party animals can do both New Orleans and Alegria.

Nola... so tempting 
. If you can, def go, no matter if the parties are happening the weekend before Halloween, such a fun party town!!!
Just came back from Southern Decadence and even with Gustav, being kicked out of the hotel and a day short, it was a blast and looking forward to the next one.
So, GO!
