SAN DIEGO: HARVEST HOWL The Metro Area Real Estate Professionals for Young Adult Housing (MARYAH) and The San Diego LGBT Com- munity Center invite you to join them as they look to fight homelessness by scaring up much needed funds for their anything-but-scary, lifesaving Youth Housing Project. The 12th Annual Harvest Howl has taken up new digs themselves this year, taking residence inside Balboa Park’s beautiful Museum of Man onThursday, October 26, from 6 to 9 p.m. Promising to be even more “Spook-Tacular for 2017, enjoy live entertainment and tasting stations from wonderful local restaurants and a hosted bar during this Halloween-themed celebration! As they say, “It is better to give than to receive…” though in a blood-sucking sense, we’re not sure we agree! And remember what they say about not offering up treats to help those in need…That nasty All Hallows’ Eve trick may befall you when you least expect it! This year’s signature event promises to be bigger and better and is one that participants wait the year long to attend. For more information or to purchase tickets, go to

NIGHTMARE ON NORMAL STREET We love Normal Street because it’s such an ironic name for an avenue smack dab in the middle of San Diego’s gayborhood! Any day in Hillcrest can be pretty ab-normal at times, and when it’s not filled with vampires, werewolves, zombies and the occasional axe-wielding psychopaths for Halloween, well, that just makes it exceptionally weird. All things being relative, it’s time to get your adrenaline flowing, as you don your most creative costume concoction and join the abi-Normal Street revelers onSaturday, October 28 for this celebration of all things bizarre. This year’s party features anAmerican Idol format costume competition with local celebrity guest judges and prizes and includes a fab grand prize for the “best” costume! Proceeds from this annual scare-fest benefit the more than 40 community programs at The San Diego LGBT Center. So, pry open that dusty wallet and make some cash “rise from the dead” for our great LGBT Center. For tickets and more information, call 619.692.2077 or go to
