Fall, 2003Everyone's favorite radio monopolizer, Clear Channel, sponsored Halloween in the Castro this year. Clear Channel are the same folks who brought us this spring's pro-war rallies and own over 1200 radio stations; Along with Wells Fargo and a host of other companies, they officially sponsored the event, which included 14 gated entryways, a search upon entrance, and a three dollar "donation." A resolution introduced by Supervisor Bevan Dufty on July 1, 2003, was adopted by the Board of Supervisors to make Halloween in the Castro an official City event. This opened avenues for corporate sponsors of the notorious spontaneous street party. Reports: 1 | 2 | 3 | See halloweensf.com for details
