REAL-TIME COOL: City hauntings at Navy Pier, L tour, Daley Plaza, Skokie, Waveland, etc. Friday: Invader Zim at 8p on NICK, and parties at Zentra and Crobar. Saturday: Kids at LPZ, Redmoon at Field Museum, Cabaret at Elbo Room, imposter bands at Double Door, party at Joe's, or my faves the costumed group skate downtown and drum&bass at Metro. Note that Sunday late night events get an extra hour from the time change (fall back). Sunday: Graceland Cemetary Tour, Great America, Double Door II, Prince at Berlin and Festish at SpyBar. Tuesday: Metro will in this humble Chicago editor's opinion be THE THE THE Halloween party of the year. Wednesday: the annual Redmoon performance in Logan Square is a don't miss. Also Disturbed, Widespread Panic, G.Love, StereoLab, Spiritualized, Evil Beaver, a special circus at HotHouse, and DJ TRACE at BIGWIG should be WICKED but other club parties will be more roomy. Now get this, Halloween appears to be a BLUE MOON in this timezone; the second full moon in a single month. Be careful. Thursday: the week wraps with All Saints day, Humanities fest, and more. By the way there are some great new photos posted. Go see!

These big holiday issues used to be the hardest but Bedno.com software has made is easier than ever. Need a great coder? Contact me! Know someone else who might? Tell them!

Daylight Savings Time ends. Set clocks back to 1am. Last Sunday in October Yearly. 2a.

Daylight Savings Time (DST) denotes the period of the year when clocks are set ahead one hour. Settings clocks ahead in the summer (spring ahead), and back in the winter (fall back) allows the clock hour to better match the cycle of daylight and night. This provides more daylight time during waking hours. DST was originally suggested by Benjamin Franklin in 1784. It began to be commonly observed during World War I. DST was formally adopted through the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Daylight Savings Time starts on the first Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October.
