Fine Living has suggestions for 12 Dressed-Up Halloween Cocktails, including the “Bloody Brain Shooter”. Now that’s what I call a “smart drink”.
Channel your inner mad scientist with this Bloody Brain Shooter. Add chilled vodka and lime juice to a shot glass, then use a straw to drip Irish cream into the glass. The acidic lime juice will cause the Irish cream to curdle, creating realistic strands of “brain.”

Last night at the Full of Win Happy Hour at Citizen Space, in the yellow section of their bookshelf I came across the “Twitter For Dummies” book written by Laura Fitton, Michael E. Gruen and Leslie Poston. I was thinking we should organize an event were we do dramatic readings from the book. Who’s in?

Uh-oh. Sad news comes via Sfgirlbybay that the monthly flea market held at the former Alameda Naval Air Station has been cancelled for November… and it’s not clear when (or if) the sprawling event will resume.
According to the flea market’s official website, “Proceedings have been commenced for the voluntary dissolution of Antiques By The Bay, Inc. As a result the show scheduled for Nov 1, 2009 will not take place.” Apparently there’s litigation underway between the partners who organize the flea market. Ew.
