Actually there were some posts made just a few months ago on page 3 of that thread. Last I heard, they were still working with architects and engineers, etc. Maybe Steve Lackmeyer can give us an update.

Oklahoma City hosts successful Ghouls Gone Wild parade

With the Flaming Lips lead singer and grand marshal Wayne Coyne rolling down the parade route, Oklahoma Gazette presented the first Ghouls Gone Wild parade Oct. 27.

With city officials estimating the crowd at 10,000, more than 50 entries traversed the parade route which stretched from Automobile Alley to Bricktown.


“This parade is a strong preamble to Oklahoma’s Year of Creativity, 2008. It’s a real tribute to how one small , independent organization can impact a community and the perception of that community on a grand scale,” said Jeffri-Lynn Dyer, Oklahoma Gazette’s associate publisher. “Only 20 people organized and arranged this event, with the help of 200 of the most hard-working volunteers ever assembled.”


Organizers intended for the parade to be a celebration of artistry and diversity.


Parade entries competed in five categories and winners will be announced at Oklahoma Gazette’s offices on Halloween at noon.

In addition to the entries, 1,000 Flaming Lips fans participated by wearing identical skeleton costumes and carrying lit torches to illuminate Coyne’s entrance.
