FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Where & When is the show?
The Cow Palace, San Francisco on Friday, October 29th!
What time do the doors open?
Doors open at 5:45pm
What time does the show start?
Show starts at 6pm
What time does the show end?
2am.
Can I wear a costume?
Yes! You can definitely get dressed up for the show and lots of people will be in full Halloween costume. Just remember that you’ll need to go through a security checkpoint before entering the show, so if you have a wig or anything else that might block a security guard’s ability to check your ID, it should be removable so they can see your face. And props/accessories that resemble weapons are not allowed.

Refreshments will be available inside. Do not bring in any outside food or beverages.

Andres, We can’t really give a definitive answer without seeing the costume. Cow Palace security (not LIVE105) will be in charge of checking everyone on the way in, so if you think your accessory is questionable, your best bet is to leave it at home so it’s not confiscated. Large bags and backpacks are not allowed inside.
Chelsea

Will very small backpacks be allowed into the event?

are light gloves allowed. my stupid friend says they are considered drug Paraphernalia.
mindy
October 28, 2010 12:57 pm
oscar, we can’t guarantee what will and won’t be allowed by the cow palace security team, but your best bet is to use good judgement. If the item is small and part of your costume and doesn’t resemble a weapon, you might be ok. if you drive to the event, you can always check with security and put it back in the car if it’s not allowed. but ifyou’d be devastated to have it confiscated, then best bet is to leave it at home.

mindy
October 28, 2010 12:56 pm
max, we can’t guarantee what the cow palace security team will or won’t allow inside. so i’d use your best judgement and if it’s something you’d be devastated to have confiscated, leave it at home.
