The Travels of Cardboard Jim Traber: 2008 Ghouls Gone Wild Parade

12:01 AM EDT on October 31, 2008

This past Saturday, over 20,000 people crammed the Midtown and Downtown streets to celebrate an early Halloween at the 2nd annual Ghouls Gone Wild Parade, which has quickly become one of the city's premier events.

Mixed in with all the parade watchers, flaming skeletons and costumed revelers was Oklahoma City's favorite cardboard cut-out, Mr. Carboard Jim Traber, who decided he would dress up as Brent Skarky attending a fetish ball. And just like he did at my party and at the Norman Music Festival, Cardboard Jim totally stole the show (or at least attempted to). And unlike his visit to the Oklahoma City Gay Pride Festival, he was not not nearly attacked by a militant lesbian.
