And just to add some gas to the fire... Take a look at his crap "Home for Halloween" videos: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?p=r&user=davidperryassociates&page=5 If you notice on the vids, he conducted censorship on the city's dime and did this by not letting people vote on the videos and did not allow comments starting after about a few weeks of posting his videos. For his other non-Halloween videos, comments and votes were allowed. I smell bullshit.

"Home for Halloween" was a joke. The city gave $40,000 to David Perry and Associates, created a half-ass website, tv commercials only acceptable to be aired on KRON (since it was done with unknown people and filmed at KRON studios for free), and a poster/flier campaign that looks like a kindergarten student made. And you wonder... what did they do with the rest of the money they may have kept? Say... spend $10,000 and pocket the rest?

Even the city's website for information about halloween Home for Halloween is a half finished mess. Besides encouraging you to stay away from the Castro, they have ZERO information on other events. I guess Sex With No Hands is looking pretty promising.

That's why we took Halloween into our own hands and decided to throw what promises to be the best Halloween event of the year. SEX WITH NO HANDS Presents: Everyone Gets Slayed! 3 live funky bands, DJ, costume contest, and a sexy after party. Check out http://www.sexwithnohands.com for more details.

I guess this means Huey Lewis was already booked at Konocti.

I'm betting on fistfights with Castro costumed drunks with the pot smoking critical mass bikers.

Didn't have enough time... that's always their excuse. I argued in my blog that the city should have planned it right on November 1, 2007. See here: http://www.akit.org/2007/11/halloween-in-castro-2007-financial-bust.html

Oh, I'm sure there are much better paying jobs at SFPUC that people never even have to show up for ..... From the people that bring you MUNI Efficiency (uh-huh), the so-called progressives think the City can also efficiently run our gas and electric services .... as good as Muni? Oy.

$94,000 a year to plan one party, and you don't even have to plan it? I'm in the wrong line of work.
