Help Children Have a Merry Xmas While Receiving a Lap Dance
Something called "Take Back Halloween: Part One" will go down at the Embarcadero this year. Brought to you by the same folks behind FlashDance and Black Rock Roller Disco, the All Hallow's Eve party is, we assume, a non-city-sanctioned event, thus it should promise to be a fun one. (Though, this could be a clever ruse by the city to get people to a locale other than the Castro. Hm. Crafty.)
The spooktacular revelry, which is supposed to replace Halloween in the Castro, happens on Halloween night in front of the Ferry Building at the Embarcadero, starting at 9 p.m.
You are instructed to do the following: if you have a costume, wear it; if you have an outdoor music set up (i.e., DJ, or "a music bike," band, boombox, etc.), bring your aural skills as well; clean up after yourselves; and "if you see anyone being a jerk, interrupt them by smiling at them and thank them for coming to Halloween."
Sounds fun. Ish. Oh, and be sure to bring candy treats to give out. Everyone loves fun-size candy.
Be sure to check out flashdance.org and their Facebook page for more details.

The cops are going to _love_ this. It will be tough for the cops make partiers disperse if they're not in the street, ala the old Castro party.
No checkpoints = concealed weapons in the crowd, FYI
Interesting... with 90% of the police force at Castro, Embaracadero won't have as many cops.
Are Mormon temple robes, cap and green apron in or out this year?
Flashdance parties by themselves are all kinds of great free fun but add to that the fact that Deep is reaching out to other soundsystems to join in and this is turning out to be a really unique gathering.
