1. I used to live in the Upper Market/Noe Valley neighborhood, and

we used to say: "Everyday is Halloween." :)

But, my gawd, the real Halloween Day was always a great street spectacle there.

Great photos.

9. Ah, I miss SF!

Every day indeed! (I lived 12th & Harrison...South O' Market).

11. I grew up in the East Bay 'burbs, and after living near the Castro,

I became very accustomed to people wearing, oh, say, backless chaps and nipple rings and little else, but then when I'd go "home" to the 'burbs to visit family the people in Contra Costa County would seem really fake and freaky to me. :rofl:

13. LOL, yeah, Contra Costa...

a tad more conservative, culturally speaking, than San Francisco. :rofl:

Some of the stuff I used to see on a regular basis in my neighborhood...whew, singe yer eyebrows!

2. OMG! The baby in the handbag! Hilarious!

:rofl:

3. Thanks for this

Those guys are kicking ass. I especially like the baby doll haphazardly crammed in the bag.

5. I spent New Year's Eve in SF once and only WISH I could be there for Halloween!

"The City" INDEED! THE BEST PLACE in the world to
celebrate ANY day!

4. I was just talking to a coworker...

About the notoriously riotous Santa Monica Blvd. festivities! We are both betting there will be a sea of Palins!

:rofl:

[LSparkle]

7. Oh yeah ... the SECOND best place to celebrate Halloween: WeHo!

But the traffic tonight in that part of town is
going to be HORRENDOUS ...

[JuniperLea]

12. And parking is $15 - $20!!

I wish this was covered in full on TV!!

[Kahuna]

6. ROTFLMAO!!!

:rofl:
