And just like that, the greatest holiday of the year is alllll over. So what'd you do? We had another action-packed weekend, of course, with our first stop at Long Beach's adorable annual tradition, the Haute Dog Howl'oween Parade and Pet Adoption Fair. Dogs? Way cuter than babies. See the proof here.

After the jump, find photos of badass gramps(es?) competing in the 2009 Southland Senior Olympics Surfing Competition, a bunch of bands from Korn and Shiny Toy Guns to Girl Talk at Halos 'n Horns and Tiger Army at the Grove of Anaheim.

Awe-some.
​
And then there was the 2009 Southland Senior Olympics Surfing Competition on Saturday. The Huntington Beach City Council on Aging (HBCOA) hosted the 2009 Southland Senior Olympics Surfing Competition on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier to promote "active aging." The competition is open to men and women at the age of 50 and over who surf longboard and shortboard. See the full slideshow here!

Colors, hipsters and Girl Talk.

On Friday, the largest ever Halloween party to grace Orange County happened at the OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa. Entertainment--in addition to the costumes, of course--included performances by Korn, Shiny Toy Guns, Shwayze, Girl Talk, I Am Ghost, Iglu & Hartly and waaaay more. See the photos here!

TIIIIIGUHHH AHHMY.

OctoberFlame took place at the Grove of Anaheim. Tiger Army and 45 Grave performed, rockabilly-types lapped it up, it was Halloween, everyone was happy. See the entire slideshow of pics here.

ZOMBIE!

Lastly, photog Andrew Youssef visited Rob Zombie at the Grove of Anaheim on Sunday night. It might not have been Halloween night, but it was the perfect way to end the Halloween weekend. See the slideshow here.
