BCNARTS: Best Bets: Herd Of Giant Elephant Sculptures Migrates To Livermore
It's going to be a busy weekend in San Francisco with Fleet Week, so those who'd like to stay away from "Fog City" can perhaps visit a herd of elephants in Livermore. They aren't real elephants, they're giant sculptures.

Attack of the Zombies coming to campus
Based on their Halloween theme this year, “Zombie Night,” the play is centered on some members of a community college Drama Club who plan to host a Halloween party at an abandoned farmhouse somewhere near their school. However, their plans become complicated by the farmhouse’s history: it was once occupied by a Dr. Thanatos, who once attempted to re-animate the dead. The students also encounter reports of strange, unexplained events at a nearby graveyard, along with both students walking around dressed as zombies and there being actual zombies hidden amongst them.
