Proof that the coolest costumes in town were not only being worn at Comic Con last weekend can be found on the OB Rag blog, where Shane Finneran has posted about the 9th annual gathering of Ocean Beach’s Miscellaneous Heathens. It took place Sunday afternoon and evening, starting out at Dusty Rhodes Park and climaxing with a parade to the beach where the revelers danced around a giant bonfire.
The tradition started, Finneran explains, “when a group of 30 or 40 friends partied at their Brighton Street apartment complex and then marched through Ocean Beach streets, dancing along the way.” Although last year police “took issue with the group’s path down city streets and broke up the party on the beach,” no confrontations developed this year, although the event reported drew “close to 200″ revelers.
Although I wasn’t there, I feel like I was, thanks to the excellent video posted on the site. Makes me want to try the real thing next year.
