Flow Tribe HOLLA!WEEN!

As we all know, Halloween in New Orleans is not your typical American holiday. Sure, you've got your trick-or-treaters, your haunted houses, your candy and what not- but just like everything else in the Crescent City... YO' DIFF'RENT HERE. The festivities are not just for the kiddos and if you're caught without a costume, you're out of the loop.

Of course, Frenchmen Street was hoppin' with hooligans and Galactic rocked it at Tip's, but there was one helluva hootin' hollerin' halloween on Oak Street that night. The Maple Leaf bar hosted one of our favorites, Flow Tribe, as well as Cha Wa for one funk fest never to be forgotten.

The whole shebang started at 8:00pm (yeah, we meant business) with a pre-party featuring free beers from Nola Brewery as well as tasty schnackz brought to you by the Funk Babies. Pictures were snappin' for the costume contest and fun was flowin' like a funky chocolate river. Cha Wa kicked it off around 10:00pm, which got the crowd prepped with some good old New Orleans classics, tambourines and all.

Flow Tribe, dressed as Robin Hood- Men in Tights, rocked the house next. With a full stage of fabulous musicians, they played their original fan-favorites as well as some killer covers that we all know and love. Needless to say, things got a little sweaty in the chill of October... face paint and fake blood meltin' off like butter!

But, that didn't stop and excellent turn out for the costume contest. Some super fly get-up these folks had... and a big congrats to our winner, Ragan Wicker, with this killer look:
