Great roundup! As a last minute costume shopper, I really appreciate this one! :)

Im this article, I wrote that Teri Gender Bender filled in on "Passenger" at this show, but actually, it was the singer from Dillinger Escape Plan. Gender Bender actually sang with Moreno on "Knife Party." Pardon my mistake!

Scary Halloween horror rides are the best. It's nice to see this happening in the area! I can't wait to go! :)

This is so interesting. Once again, I have managed to miss out on a local event that I would have love to have been a part of. :( I'll have to go next year if there's another. It's still really great to know that there are other aspiring writers out there who just love to tell stories and have their work shared, regardless of whether or not it makes them money. I think the best writers write because they're passionate about it, not because they're out to make a buck or pen a best-seller.

I wrote an article on this place for "Edible Sacramento," although it was more focused on the green aspects and the overall feeling of the place. I love that this article focuses on the behind the scenes and the artist behind the culinary creations. :) P.S. The pizza with the truffle oil is delicious!

I wish I had known because I SOOOO would have been there! I saw their Christmas performance at the House of Blues in Anaheim a few years ago and it was amazing and FUN. They definitely put on a great show.

I heard back from Capt. Jonathan Vurgess and he had this to say about the incident: "There was intentional tampering with the sprinkler head. It is currently under investigation. There was no active fire, but an attempt to cause an active fire." So there you have it - an attemped arson that resulted in the activation of the sprinkler system, although there was no actual fire. I hope this clears up any confusion.

I have attempted to contact the Fire Dept. to get accurate information. I left a message and hopefully my call will be returned and I can get the correct information and it can be clarified. Thanks to everyone for letting me and Sac Press know that my sources were mistaken.

hey guys, i didn't mean that the entire count was 300...just that there were around 300 dressed as zombies. i should have made that clearer. i apologize! 666...what a headcount! :P

it's exciting that short stories and fiction are getting more attention in the area for once! :)

yea for independent bookstores :)
