The glue is almost dry, so the Bay Bridge should be fixed and loaded with traffic by the afternoon if not in time for today’s morning commute.
But no need to cross over to the other side, not while our city spills over with a plastic pumpkin’s worth of Hallow’s Eve treats.
Tilt into Halloween drenched in the swirl and dreams of Sleepy Sun’s riff-laden
psychedelic rock, playing at the Independent – not in the Mission, but worth a long detour.
During the day, as well as Saturday and Sunday, the California Academy of Sciences invites all Mission dwellers free of charge to its creepy cauldron of climate change exhibits. Or sit and stare at the universe in existential despair at the museum’s planetarium.
Muni Diaries goes live again, taking over the Make-out Room, to tell the haunting tales and hilarities of San Francisco’s public transport, starting at 7:30 p.m.
Or sift through a Poe-inspired night of jazz, readings, scary old movies and the “Shadow
Machine” at the Red Poppy Art House.
Critical Mass sets defiance in two-wheeled motion, disrupting traffic as usual, with a special masquerade tonight. Drape your metallic steed with decorations and come in costume. Or grab a lance and head to Oakland’s bike joust at the Roll Up.
“And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor/Shall be lifted — nevermore!” (The Raven)
