‘Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.

You wouldn’t believe
On All Hallow’s Eve
What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.
~Carolyn Wells

This past Friday was UCSD’s annual Fallfest, which is a musical event, often featuring well known alternative, hip hop, and rap artists.
