Halloween night


We're headed to Noe Valley to trick or treat on Fair Oaks Ave. with our friends Sara, Caleb and Toby.

Zorro not in full dress yet.

Rare appearance of the difficult-to-keep-in-place tiara. The groovy '80s music video effect is actually a bus-stop shelter.

Cinderella, you devil! On the 14 Mission.

Just another late afternoon on Mission Street.

First trick or treat stop: A bar. Two guys in the doorway: One giving out candy to kids, one checking ID's.

Suiting up. Sara paints Caleb the bat's face.

Here he is.

Zorro straps it on.

Toby the mummy.

They're off. They better watch out. There's some weird, ugly-looking people out here.

Whoa.

That's better. I love San Francisco, don't you?

Still photography does not do justice to Cinderella's light-up shoes, so we now present this short film.


Couldn't get a good picture of this either, but there was a teenage rock band playing on the veranda of a house on Fair Oaks, atop a garage that was also a haunted house.

Zorro liked 'em.

Cinderella danced with the devil to them.

Up!

And down. Headed home. Going, going ...

Gone. Good night, Cinderella. Your chariot has turned back into the 14 Mission.

Pumpkin carving

At the Excelsior Youth Center.

Buster's been wearing this shirt for half of his life now. He got it when he was 3.

Mom's got the Big Yellow Gloves to protect her spectacular new nail job (not pictured).

The artist at work.


Daisy gets a hand from her new friend Jenna.

Aaaand ready to go.

Buster and Dad try to run home faster than Mom and Daisy can drive. A noble effort, but not successful.


Two views of the finished product, no flash and flash. Which is scarier?
