Halloween Microhood: Mission Treat

RAIN or SHINE, see you there!

It may seem like every day is Halloween in SF. We San Franciscans love to dress up whenever we have a chance, but it's not 'til that last week of October that the real freaks come out at night.

This Halloween, The Bold Italic heads to the heart of the Mission, a part of the city that's already known for good food, good parties, and a strong sense of community.

Please join us on Thursday, October 28, for The Bold Italic’s Mission Treat, a microhood-style event with a Halloween theme that’s casting a spell on 24th St. between Shotwell and Bryant. From 7 to 9 p.m., partiers will enjoy a night of art, food, drink, fashion, and a blood-splattered,  Dexter -inspired photo booth along that block. Show up in your best costume for this unique trick-or-treating of sorts.

Expect special  treatment from the following folks:

Co-Presenters:

LOCAL: MISSION EATERY will have $3 Freaktoberfest Beers from Schmaltz Brewing and a special menu for the evening: Lavender almonds, seasonal pickles, grougeres, oysters with apple gelee and apples, pate en croute with mustard and greens, and the Chicken Waldorf sandwich.

At ARKAY WORKSHOP, get 20% off of all clothing in the shop, FREE WINE, and Halloween treats. Arkay is a boutique with unique clothing and fun, gifty items created by sought-after artists and designers. Help them celebrate the opening of a new photo show of large format Polaroids by Andrea Corrona Jenkins (aka Hula Seventy).

SUGARLUMP Coffee Lounge will be celebrating their 5-year anniversary by offering their delicious house coffee for only $1. All of their drinks are local and organic, and you can enter a drawing to win a free pound of coffee as well. They've also invited special guest The Poetry Store to set up inside; Silvi Alcivar will craft custom poetry pieces-as-art on the spot. 

Participants:

At HAUS Cafe, a Dexter-inspired PHOTO BOOTH by ORANGE PHOTOGRAPHY will scare you silly with prosthetic props and blood splatterings.

Mission Treat. Better than a big bag of candy, and twice as tasty.
