boo, bitches

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Saturday, however, was just the beginning of the Halloween festivities. Submitted for your approval, here's a list of local parties. The same list will appear in the features section of Tuesday's paper.

*Tuesday, Muldoon's will host a party with costume contests and prizes. The local guys from Mindblender will take the stage at 7 p.m. Warning: Do not plan on getting there at midnight. I did this at Muldoon's last H-ween, and the entire place was empty. This year might be a different story, but I wouldn't take any chances.

And for Wednesday...

*There's a bar crawl downtown. Nine bars, one cover. We never publish the cover because it's usually not decided until the day of the event. Whatever. Anyway, this is where I'll be. Individually, most of the participating bars will have costume contests, including one with a $650 prize at Rumors.

*The Cannon Brewpub will have a party with drink specials and a performance by Whisky Bent, who takes the stage around 8:45 p.m.

*Cigar and martini bar Belloo's will also have Halloween drink specials.

*Beyond the downtown scene, the Shanty Shack will have door prizes and costume contests.

*Finally, Soho Bar & Grill has a huge party planned, featuring costume contests all night, as well as Halloween-themed drinks like The Brain Hemorrhage. All patrons will receive Halloween beads and leis. The M&M Band will perform beginning at 10 p.m.
