BABY COSTUMEIt's fun to go out on Halloween night and see everybody's costumes. It's even more fun if you wear your own costume. You could buy or make a costume, or just wear something funny, like face paint or a wig. Get professional face paint at the Kryolan store, only 7 blocks from AAU. Or get cheap costume parts at the Goodwill store, Community Thrift Store, or Thrift Town.
Three good places to see costumes: The Castro (Saturday early evening), the Mission (Saturday evening-nighttime), and Critical Mass (5:30-6:30 Friday).
Directions:
The Castro: I suggest going there between 7 and 8pm. The party gets too drunk and crazy later, and the police will tell everyone to go home. Lots of people make good COSTUMES IN THE CASTRO neighborhood. To get there, take a Muni train to Church Street Station, then walk up Market street to Castro street.
The Mission: From around 8pm to midnight, people walk around the Mission neighborhood wearing good costumes, and going out to bars, clubs, and restaurants. You'll see some good kids' costumes there too. Valencia street between 18th and 24th streets is the best place to see costumes. To get there, if you're already in the Castro, you can walk down 18th street from Castro street. Or, take BART to 24th Street Station and walk down 24th to Valencia.
Critical Mass: This is a monthly giant bike ride around San Francisco, with usually over 1000 bikes. It happens on the last Friday of every month. This Friday, a lot of people will be wearing costumes on their bikes. Here's a VIDEO OF THE 2008 HALLOWEEN CRITICAL MASS. Even if you don't have a bike, you can go between 5:30 and 6:30 just to see the costumes.
Where: Justin Herman Plaza, a park on Market St. at Embarcadero St. (Right where Market Street meets the bay.)
When: FRIDAY. Gather and look at costumes from 5:30 to 6:30. At 6:30, the bike ride starts.
