Halloween in SF
Oct. 27th, 2009 12:45 pmThere's a lot of really cool stuff going on this Halloween weekend. I'm not sure what event I'll choose, but hopefully my friends will go to the ones I can't make it to.
10/30:
*An Evening with Kevin Smith at the Warfield. Tickets still available, but pricey ($45 and up). We got tickets to this a long time ago, should be hilarious. SF.
*Live 105 Halloween Spooktacular giant party at the Cow Palace. Lineup includes The Faint, Infected Mushroom, Basement Jaxx, The Crystal Method and many more. Looks like a fantastic dance lineup, more dance-y than Live 105 usually is. $35 until the 29th, $40 day of show, or $99 for 4. Still pondering going to this in addition.... SF.
*Kinky Salon is having a Halloween Party. Live spooky performances, DJ sets, cabaret act at midnight. Also, as befits the name, there will be playspaces open for sexiness. $25 advance, $30 door. Both Friday and Saturday nights. SF.
10/31:
*Journey to the End of the Night is a street game that's like a cross between urban tag and a psychogeography derive. A bunch of my friends went to the last one in Oakland and had a really fantastic (albeit exhausting) time. It helps if you're in decent shape. Free, SF. Lots of walking and/or running.
*Ghost Ship - a Space Cowboys party. 12k square feet of space full of DJ music, massive Burning Man style art, lighting effects, Steampunk Treehouse, all kinds of crazy stuff. Will be over the top. Treasure Island, free all night shuttle from SF. $40. Likely to sell out w no door sales, so buy ahead.
*La Petit Mort with Rhubarb Whiskey is a bluegrass murder ballads show featuring some really excellent musicians. Expect great music, chatting, friends. Probably a more chill kinda night than most of these events. Sunshine Biscuit Factory, Oakland. $5-15.
*Otherworld Halloween is an underground dancey thing, featuring a fuckton of excellent DJs and lighting/laser effects by a friend of mine. $15 at the door, goes late (6a). Oakland.
*Cellspace Artfreak Benefit for sadly displaced Bill the Junkman. Imagine the entire Laughing Squid events calendar rolled into one night - Mark Growden, Attaboy & Burke, Extra Action Marching Band, Dr. Hal and more. If you're wondering what to do, PLEASE GO TO THIS! This will be amazing, and it's a hugely worthy cause. If you ever wanted to meet the SF Cacophony Society and all the artists it gave birth to, this is your chance. Not sure I'll make it to this, but I will definitely be there in spirit. Sliding scale, $10 up to however much you want to donate. SF.
*Kinky Salon is having a Halloween Party. Live spooky performances, DJ sets, cabaret act at midnight. Also, as befits the name, there will be playspaces open for sexiness. $25 advance, $30 door. Both Friday and Saturday nights. SF.
11/1:
Dia de los Muertos in Fruitvale. Sounds like the annual festival will be more entertaining and host more art this year than ever before. I've gone to this a number of years in a row, and always enjoy myself. Tons of people! Take BART, it's right at Fruitvale. Oakland. Free.
So, did I miss anything awesome? What are you doing?
