For my always-partyin' sister: As I've told you many times, Halloween in San Francisco is insane! You'll be up here someday around that time and you'll see for yourself:

What began as a mainly gay event has expanded, and now attracts visitors from around the world. It also attracts a more menacing element from closer by who are hell- bent on getting drunk and making trouble.... It's good that people want to come to a gay neighborhood and party with us. But it's a very bad thing that some of them don't know how to behave when they get here. Unfortunately, the bad things are overtaking the good things right now.
