Gavin Newsom's Mariah Carey-like Interview Demand
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.

I've hear lots of people whining about Halloween, from all different viewpoints, and now SFist gets in the act. The one thing I never hear, tho, is any alternative to the proposal that people are whining about. You are correct that Halloween has turned ugly and violent (a reflection of our society as a whole), but what is YOUR solution?
We believe that the only possible solution is to evolve to a dystopian future in which the human population is divided into the immortal "Eternals," mortal "Brutals," and a religious warrior class called the "Exterminators" who kill and terrorize other Brutals at the orders of a huge flying stone head called Zardoz.
Obviously.
Mattymatt gets 1,000,000 points for the use of Zardoz so effectively when talking about Halloween. I would have gone for a 28 weeks later analogy, but that's just because I saw it last night.
:-)
I would more like to think of it as a "Practical Zone"
OK OK you guys are a lot more fun than I am.

Can my cranky score be reduced if I profess my love of all things zombie?
Well, sure, moving it to another neighborhood isn't ideal, but neither is leaving it where it is in the Castro. In EITHER scenario, some neighborhood's residents get terrorized.
What happened to plans to have the Black Eyed Peas perform? I thought Fergie and Will-I-Am were going to save the day!
Why not move it to 6th Street.For some it's Halloween all year.
Keep it in the Castro, but impose a $550 bridge toll on Halloween night.
