We will have an SF Bats table at the Exploratorium on Halloween Day! Here is the info from their website:
Creature Features: An Exploratorium Halloween
When Saturday, October 31, 2009, 3 – 8pm
Where Exploratorium
Event Type Special Program
Celebrate Halloween—Exploratorium style! Join us in costume for our second annual extravaganza of scary science and frightful fun. We’ll explore the scientific and cultural phenomena behind Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, and a host of creeping, crawling, flapping, and otherwise fascinating creatures.
If you dare, step inside the Neverwas Haul (a haunted Victorian house on wheels), and tiptoe through our Cemetery of Dead Science. Meet a menacing menagerie of spiders, insects, bats, leeches, black cats, and gape at the macabre minutia of magnified creatures and objects. You may discover a room drained of color, see spine-tingling films, or witness mad scientists concoct ghastly experiments. Local artist Irma Ortiz will shape exquisite skulls from molten sugar and invite you to decorate a sugar skull of your own.
Drop in before trick-or-treating or before your Halloween festivities begin—we’ll have plenty of candy. Included with museum admission.
Director of this program is Marcus Ante who just emailed me today asking for hi-res pics of tarantulas(300 dpi or higher) to be used for promotional purposes. If you have any can you please email them to me at SRV658@comcast.net We would really appreciate it! Ricky? Kyle? Anybody?
We also need help manning the table between 3pm and 8 pm handling spiders and answering questions about them. They just want tarantulas as they have other people bringing insects. Please let us know if you can help. We need you!

If you go to the Petaluma show when they open at 10 am you can spend a few hours there then shoot down 101 to the Exploratorium which is just on the other side of the GG bridge and check that out and hang with us. We will be there from 2-8pm. I might even do that, its totally do able!
Sounds like a great day to me
Oh, we have no plans for Halloween, this would be cool to do! (We have membership at the Academ yof Sciences and they're doing some little Halloween thing too, we could hit both.) I don't know how much help I would be, but let me know if you really need somebody.
