The Crescent Club Speakeasy will host the second annual Vampire Ball this Saturday, a party for vampire fanatics and Halloween revelers alike, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Romanian League in Defense of Animals (ROLDA). This year’s event will be modeled after HBO’s “True Blood,” said Shannon McCabe, event organizer. A staff of 25 helped her put together a party six months in the making, including professional set designers, vampire go-go dancers, two local DJs and actors who will be playing roles from the “True Blood” cast. Food will be served by Café Americain. “I want to feel like I’m in the town of Bon Temps,” McCabe said, alluding to the fictional town where the HBO va

A Sacramento teen is trying to get an early start on a film career with the launching of an Internet-based talk show. “Sci Fi Stories” is 16-year-old Joseph Cady’s show, which will cover all things paranormal and unexplained in Sacramento and beyond.
