Why Are Your Fingers Crossed and Your Hands Behind Your Back, Halloween in the Castro?

homeforhalloween.jpg

What with Halloween only a day away -- and with many minds focused instead on election night parties (see you at Otis, kids!) -- this sign went up recently in the Castro Muni station. Halloween in the Castro, in case you didn't know, isn't happening. The party is over. We swear. But, like, for reals. Even though all the bars and restaurants will be open in the neighborhood, the Castro? Is closed on Halloween night. So go elsewhere, yous.

That being said, bars and nightclubs who want to promote their spooktacular events tomorrow night, let us know about 'em in the comments, or email us here.

Let me get this right... so once again, the Castro businesses will be closed again?

That's really f-ed up, it's one of their biggest moneymakers of the year, and with the economy going down the hole, businesses should open.

Remember last year? A couple of bars were opened and went against the advice of Newsom and Dufty, and those had a huge line out the door.

"Even though all the bars and restaurants will be open"

I popped into Chez Panisse the other night for a quick dinner of rocket and goat and noticed these signs all over Berkeley. However, I don't get it. All the bars and restaurants will be open, but we're not allowed to go into them? Will only the denizens of the Castro be permitted entrance? Did they hand out special ghetto ID cards at Cliff's? Why does the Castro hate democracy?

Just because there wont be a road block and stages with shitty techno music playing, doesn't mean we can't go to the Castro and stab each other anyway.

I like how they are acknowledging that there will probably be big crowds of people out and about but at the same time refusing to do anything to make the transit situation better during that time.

if it's not happening in the castro why have I been seeing barricades (sanches, church, 17th, 18th)?? "for reals"

Special News Alert: big ass party in Bayview/Hunter's Point. Let's round up the posse, get piss drunk, and shoot people there!

The Castro is going to be boring this year and it will probably rain.

I'm going to this: http://everyonegetsslayed.eventbrite.com/

Accordions, Free Candy, and no bridge-and-tunnel douchebags slobbering on my costume.

Are those portraits of MUNI staffers on the right side of the banner?
