BAKO Halloween Happenings 2007
Top reasons to leave the coffin leading up to the big night, October 31st!


(Halloween 2006)
By Matt Munoz, Bakotopia Editor
Bako’s favorite time of the year without a doubt is Halloween.
So to make things easy, Bakotopia has handpicked the best places to be leading up to the big night!
Last year Bakotopia's own ‘Tekwiz’ took a load of photos that raised the blood pressure of many web-readers, making this year a tough one to beat when it comes to costumes.
Sexy, scary, hilarious, and gross….Let's do it again, shall we?
Our cameras will be out in full force all over downtown and beyond!
Start out by checking out ‘The Chamber’ Haunted House (read the story
HERE), then work your way through the list below!
HOLD UP!
