This Scary Weekend in the People’s Republic
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It’s goofy, it’s fun, it’s unique… And who doesn’t enjoy getting scared every once in a while? I think it’s probably healthy.
There is a lot of spook-tacular right and relevant culture for this weekend… Nevermind that rain and get thee outside for a night of thrills, chills and fun!
Davis has never been so scary… or silly. Follow Alvin Remmers around town on a ghoulish expedition in search of costumed shenanigans. Sinister doings emanate from downtown eateries. Watch zombies descend in mass upon Chipotle! Costumed ladies do the monster mash – it was a graveyard smash – at The Graduate. Click on the video box and it will play right there in your screen, that’s what the technocrats call “embedded”.
Happy Halloween!!

Halloween Concert [MUSIC + GIVE]
Vet’s Memorial Theatre

While Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, my least favorite part about it (as a kid) was WAITING to get out there and Trick-or-Treat! Well, don those costumes a little early and get yourselves out there because RockBand U’s second annual Halloween concert will provide all the entertainment you could want for those in-between hours. Proceeds go to Davis School Arts Foundation, so you can feel great as you ROCK ON!
