The Boulevard BOO! Parade & Carnival

I'm blessed to live right in front of where the annual Boulevard BOO! Parade & Carnival happens, this year on October 27 (10am to 5pm) in San Diego, California.
 
The Boulevard BOO! Parade travels through the College Area at 10am on Saturday, October 27, 2012.

If you have kids, the BOO! Carnival starts at 11am following the parade at Clay Park (4759 Seminole Drive) off El Cajon Boulevard on Seminole Drive.

UPDATE: I just realized that I also have customized versions of the sharebar & follow blocks on all of my websites. Future blog posts will cover these topics.

On June 11, 2013, Twitter updated its API from version 1 to 1.1. This caused a lot of headaches and rendered a bunch of Drupal modules useless all of a sudden, including the following:
