I just got this email from Helen, who works in the marketing department at
BAM. 

I was doing a little bit of research online, and I came across your
blog.  I couldn’t help but think that maybe your community might be
interested in some information about BAMboo!, BAM’s annual free Halloween
festival.  The festivities take place in front of BAM, on
Lafayette between
Ashland Place and
Fulton Street , from
4—7pm on Oct 31st.  There are games, candy giveaways, costume
contests, wandering performers, and a very popular moon bounce.  This
year’s theme is A BAM Before Time, exploring prehistory; there will be
fossil digs, cave art, and dinosaur treasures for everyone, young and
old. I also
encourage you to visit our website for more information: http://www.bam.org/view.aspx?pid=400
