Mike: Well, at least the Prom Queen looked great in RED...Jen: I don't remember having so much to EAT at my prom...Sounds like everyone had a brain-tastic time. See the Cash photo set here.Also on Friday: ASD's newest photographer, Hanna Quevedo, indulged in the Seven Deadly Sins (as il
There was more than enough to keep even the loneliest of hearts distracted and amused over the V-Day weekend. Topping the list easily was Saturday's Great San Francisco Pillow Fight of 2009, which brought thousands to Justin Herman Plaza to beat the crap out of each other with feathers and fluff. Relive the action via Gretchen Robinette's photos and Joe Eskenazi's videos.
Our weekend involved cheese, ropes and Andy Warhol. In that order:Saturday afternoon's Grilled Cheese Invitational at Dolores Park was well attended - all 500 tasting wristbands sold out in minutes, a good hour before the event began! Tamara Palmer has the skinny at SFoodie.Saturday evening was quite literally tied up in knots at Femina Potens, where some lovely submissive types helped demonstrate "The Art of Restraint." See Gretchen Robinette's somewhat NSFW photo set here.
Thomas LevinsonAll Shook Down's weekend kicked off with a facebook-and-Twitter-orchestrated flash rave, which drove hundreds of kiddies to the section of Golden Gate Park next to the Conservatory of Flowers Friday night. The party started at around 8:30 p.m. and went on for an hour, at which point the boys in blue (pictured standing awkwardly behind the impromptu DJ booth above) broke it up. Our man on the street, Thomas Levinson, shares some photos. Calibree PhotographyOn Saturday night, trusty

See Hanna Quevedo's photo set.Saturday evening brought SF Weekly's Photobooth duo of Jen and Mike Cash to the Cat Club for "Gossip," a night of Adam Ant vs. The Pirates.

San Francisco was overrun by clever costumes this past weekend. SF Weekly hit the city to capture the best Halloween outfits in three different neighborhoods. In the Mission, photographer Hanna Quevedo shot people dressed as sexy cops, bottles of booze, and the undead. Check out the full Mission slideshow here.Over at Cat Club, Zombie Morrissey Night encouraged people to either dress like flesh eaters, or dress like the world's loudest vegan.

While the rest of the country attended more run of the mill night clubs and house parties, S.F. did what it does best this weekend, taking a walk on the weird side.
Between the Insane Clown Posse and punk legend Diamond Dave's birthday party on Friday to a "Hat Flash Mob" in Union Square and Dead Prez at the Green Festival After-party on Sunday (with a pitstop in DoLo Park on Saturday) there was so much going on it was hard to regain our focus until about our third Bloody Mary this morning.
