Día de los Muertos in the Mission
Music from a live band echoed over the hill to the park entrance, incense wafting in every direction, the crowds of attendees illuminated by the warm glow of candles and string lights.

Assassin’s Creed Halloween costume
Nothing is true,Everything is permitted. – The Creed Assassins. Seems like they’re everywhere these days, murdering it up. So for Halloween this year I made my own modern-style Assassin’s Creed costume. The white hoodie is pretty much standard as far as assassins go these days. The felt patch on the hood is a tribute…

Muni wishes you a Happy Halloween
While an educated observer might note that Halloween was, like, six months ago or something, there hasn’t been a compelling reason to stop celebrating. Muni certainly hasn’t, as seen above. In the immortal words of Ministry, “Everyday is Halloween.” So why not celebrate? Put on that costume and break out your flask, it’s time to…
