If you're looking for a way to spread the Halloween spirit a little early, look no further than the Pediatric Therapy Network's 13th annual Halloween Ball on October 19th at The Depot, or rather in the parking lot adjacent to the Depot. Plans for the night include a "Witch's Cauldron Buffet" of dishes by Depot chef Michael Shafer along with a martini bar, a costume contest, a silent auction, dancing and a "semi-live" band (4–9 PM; $100 per person; for more information, call 310-328-0276, ext. 218, or visit http://www.pediatrictherapynetwork.org).
