Flashdance Halloween

A banner in the BART station declares No Halloween in the Castro! Boo to you, fun-killers. However, all is not lost for would-be revelers wanting to take it to the streets Saturday night. A public-space flashmob dance party has emerged as the successor to the ‘Stro. At 9pm in front of the Ferry Building, Deep (Apple programmer by day, colorful character by night) will be on site at the Ferry Building Saturday night with his sound system on wheels, Trikeasaurus, to pump up the jams for a serious dance party that will take back Halloween. Considering Deep’s daywear usually involves a seriously shiny silver windbreaker, you know the costumes are going to be good, so bring your A-game. There’s an ardent civic streak to the festivities, calling for more music entertainment, valiant clean-up efforts, and violence-combatting smiling and politeness. Hopefully no one will get stabbed and we can look forward to future Halloweens that recall those legendary Castro nights. Check out video of a past Flashdance to get a flavor for this SF-specific brand of boogying. -Jenna Glass
