SFist Photo: Death of Castro Halloween Funeral Tonight
We saw the website before, but weren't sure what to make of it. Now, the people behind this unofficial mock funeral and parade have flyers up. So it's on, as far as we can tell.
Looks like things will get kicked off at 6:00 PM and then head up Market to 17th Street. Of course, if you are among the crowd (some expect 100,000) coming to the Castro neighborhood tonight, you run the risk of being labeled an "ungrateful lout" by the official city Un-Halloween website. You've been warned.
