High heel race aftermath, October 24 2006

So last night took place a hallowed DC tradition, the annual "high heel race" on 17th Street NW. It used to take place on Halloween, but years ago it was moved to a nearby night because that just became chaotic. The race, in which drag queens compete, is over in 5 seconds, but the real fun is the melee that comes before and after.

I just got a CD by the Vaselines in the mail... good stuff, so far.
