City Creating Halloween Containment Zone?

Thanks to some ass-kicking by Matthew Bajko at the BAR, Bevan's taking a bit more time this year to plan for Halloween. Next public meeting: Wednesday, the 30th, at 5:30 in the California Pacific Medical Center, Davies Campus, in the Level B Auditorium in the North Tower Building. Is it just us, or do those directions sound like riddles in a scavenger hunt? Anyway, they'll be talking about the city's plan for moving Halloween to the waterfront.

Whoa whoa whoa. What's that about the waterfront? Well, the Rincon Hill blog says that Halloween might be forcibly migrated to Pier 32, according to "Scuttlebutt," which we assume is the gay version of the seagull from The Little Mermaid.

Well this is an interesting how-do-you-do. Halloween's turning into an uglier, scarier, more violent event, and the response is to shuttle it off to SOMA or Mission Bay. Sort of like how Beyond Chron says that city planning keeps crack addicts confined to the Tenderloin so that they won't bother the rest of us.

Just in case there was anyone left who still didn't feel uncomfortable about this whole Halloween thing.
