Next, photog Andrew Youssef checked out Gay Days at Disneyland on Friday. The park was super crowded, probably thanks to both Gay Days and the many, many Halloween celebrations taking placing throughout the month at the park. More pics here!


The Horrors and local-ers Japanese Motors performed at the Glass House in Pomona on Friday. Photographer Chad Sengstock took some amazing photos of the bands, you can see 'em by clicking here.


And then? Gusty winds brought kite surfers to Belmont Shore on Sunday. A few facts: You can get an entire kite surfing rig (used) for $400. The kites do not sink because they have inflated spines. Kites do not fly away because they are designed to lie down if untethered. And, yes, kites will lift surfer off the ground and are a handful until in the surf. All photos by Keith May!
