Lots of people have a soft spot for Halloween from their childhood days trick-or-treating.  And I'm one of them.  I'm thrilled that B'game's establishments Straits, Barrelhouse, Barracuda Sushi, Coconut Bay and Vinyl Room will be celebrating again this year.  Not just once, but twice!  We will have a Costume Pub Crawl on Sunday the 27th and the regular event on Thursday, Oct. 31st.

We've had some wild, good times like two years ago described here.  Does anyone know if Amanda F. is still around and tending bar?

By the way, the Goodwill store on California Ave. has gone all out to stock a lot of Halloween costume items.  No need to drive to San Mateo or San Carlos or the big pop-up store on University in Palo Alto.
