Food truck party invaded by parade of hearses -- seriously

No, that's not a joke about the fatty substances for sale at this past weekend's Justice League of Street Food event at 29th and Huron. Hearses rolled up to the party on Saturday night, sans corpses, surely surprising everyone in attendance! Scary!...

No, that's not a joke about the fatty substances for sale at this past weekend's Justice League of Street Food event at 29th and Huron.

Hearses rolled up to the party on Saturday night, sans corpses, surely surprising everyone in attendance! Scary!

The Denver Hearse Association, led by Zachary Helm's trademark batwings-and-guns deathmobile, and the Itchy-O Marching Band arrived around 9:15 p.m. Saturday and played about a thirty-minute set by flaming hearse light, naturally.

Photographer Kelly Kaoudis shot the photos below for Westword.
