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.)

For those who want to join together to watch tonight's premiere of the likely ironically epic Trauma, which was filmed in San Francisco, you're in luck. North Beach's Upper Grant Avenue bars will be having a block party simultaneously screening the show at 9 p.m., hosted by JE Talent, LLC. Participating bars include Mojito, Royale, Maggie McGarrys, and Grant & Green Saloon. There will be live music by Jugtown Pirates, "industry networking," and themed cocktails, featuring Grey Goose Vodka & Bacardi Rum. The party runs from 7 to 11 p.m.

In lieu of posting the actual question -- we've received several written and oral inquires regarding the matter -- we'll just go ahead and ask: are there any Mad Men viewing parties happening on Sunday night? We want to know. So does Yelp. So does... anybody who enjoys magnificent TV.

Our favorite society photog, Drew Altizer, has dipped his toes in iIl linguaggio del cinema (which, for those of you not in the know, è universale), and his latest effort is this surf punk-infused montage of 's Best of the Bay Party.

So, you know what's-his-name will be our President in, oh, a few days, right? Well, SF is certain to be filled with parties, hooting, hollering, and spontaneous choreography breaking out in the streets, welcoming Barack Obama to the White House.

Too real, if you ask us. Election night will soon fall upon the city like a blanket of darkness. But that doesn't mean you should celebrate or grieve alone. Ripping off Inspired by SFBG's Election Night Parties, we present to you SFist's...election night parties. Ta-da. -- Gavin Newsom's (Victory) Party: Pros: at the Ferry Building, the thrill of victory, Gavin's form Cons: at some point you will be snubbed by someone in the society...

We got lucky this weekend. Not like that. We got lucky because one of our dear friends gave us a fantastic pair of black leather boots. The boots are brand new, never been worn, tall ones that go up to our knees. We've wanted a pair of boots like this for a while. But we have big calves (ok, this is where it gets weird, because I have big calves and I know for a fact that most of the SFist staff doesn't. Really, I've seen Matty Matt and Rita and Jeremy in the flesh, and not like I was really looking, but they all seem to have very normal sized calves, maybe even tiny ones). We bring the size of our calves up because, instead of denying the very cool boots our friend gave us, instead of turning them away and saying, oh those boots won't fit us, we took one look at them and thought, hey we can run those puppies through our sewing machine and alter them and make them fit just perfect. Which is exactly what we did. And we were so proud of ourselves that it got us thinking about all the other stuff we have lying around that we don't use anymore but could probably turn into something very useful with some cutting or gluing or altering. So this weeks post was inspired by those black boots and our very sweet friend who gave them to us. What follows is a sort of laundry list of ideas and resources for turning old things into new ones. Although it's not a unique concept, the craze to make recycled crafts is more popular than ever. If having a green issue of Vanity Fair is what it takes to get the main stream into the idea of 'going green' again, we'll take it. But for those of us who make it a point to always live resourcefully, no matter what Newsweek is telling us, there are some great new craft books that feature projects with a green angle. Re-Creative has 50 projects that can all be created from 'trash', cast-off, or found items. We like what we're hearing about Danny Seo's new line of books called Simply Green, which teach people how to make eco-friendly gifts and party decorations. Although Craftivity isn't entirely centered around recycled craft projects, it does have some great ideas for reusing cast aside items, including moth eaten sweaters. Image from Needles & Pens

First, the excitement of the election, and now the excitement of a (for many people) three day weekend.

SFist interviews Mara Sohn of Yerba Buena Center for the ARts

While we can think of about fifty places in the Mish to practice your Downward Dog without even trying, it's nice to find places where we can practice our favorite set of postitions without looking like we were stranded by our dates in the Cow Palace parking lot after Exotic Erotic. Since none of those Yoga Tree joints will let us practice our California Roll and the Metereon threw us out after our last Popcorn Bucket, we have to look a little further afield, like, at those places where people are to have sex in public -- sex clubs.

Our concert picks for the week of 3/31 - 4/6.

So tomorrow you'll have done your homework, stood in line, gotten your sticker and have been a good citizen.

The League of Pissed Off Voters continues with their 40 Parties in 40 Days (though we're now only at a fortnight more of parties) with a big Thursday-night bash.

the local chapter of the League is sponsoring an event called 40 Parties in 40 Nights, to keep awareness about the election high in the upcoming few weeks. Party number 1 will be on Sunday the 26th, at Kelly's Mission Rock, and the musical entertainment includes reggae band The People, and DJs Deepcee and Danielle, plus "special guests." No one will be turned away for lack of funds, but they're suggesting a donation of $10-20, which will be used to fund the League's road trips to Reno to lobby undecided voters in the Keep Nevada Blue campaigns.
