    And of course, with any all day party affairs, as the day progressed, the more beer consumed – and you begin to tell people how good of a friend they are.

    Ohh ya… the important stuff\
    On Union Street between Steiner and Gough.
    ’03 is the 27th Annual.
    Around the first weekend in June

    There were also Caribbean music, Break Dancers, Hippie rock on stage at the end of the fair, as well as several houses along the Haight that had parties, many of which shared their music with the masses by placing the speakers out the windows – a little funk, a little hip-hop and a whole lotta house. Very nice mix.

    If you are in San Francisco at the end of June, make sure you attend the San Francisco Gay Parade. It is a fun-filled event and very enjoyable. You will not regret it.
    Check my travelogues for more pics. The parade lasts usually about 4 hrs and believe me, you will NOT be bored :-)

    Where else can you see a hippie with a cell phone selling “ganja cookies” on the street while the City’s Police and Firemen look over the crowd making sure everyone has a good safe time.

  • The sticker we received - San Francisco
    The sticker we received
    by Jerelis, 1 more photos
    Send Photo to a Friend
    All San Franciscans love to hate Fisherman's Wharf. When we talked to some locals they stated that they were content never to have visited the area. They trully complain about the tacky shops selling cheap souvenirs, the "novelty" museums whose novelty has long worn off and busloads of tourists blocking the view to Alcatraz. TStill the locals do understand the improtance of the pier for the city and od like the never ending entertainment as well.

    When we were walking towards Pier 39 (the second most visited attraction in California we were stopped by the "Smiling Police". We were asked to smile a bit more and as a reward we received a "I love San Francisco" and " I luv to smile" sticker. Ultimate tourist trap entertainment or just a kind of fun. Judge for yourself???

    Address:
    Beach Street and the Embarcadero, Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, CA 94109.

    Directions:
    It is loosely defined as the area Ghirardelli Square (near Pier 41) and Pier 35.

    San Francisco is well-known as a city that is very open to alternative lifestyles. This is a picture of a Gay Pride parade that is one of the largest on the planet and takes place in late June in the Castro.

    Curious what it is all about? Read a bit of history on Wiki.

    LOCATION: 1st Market Str. Justin Herman Plaza
    TIME: Thursday, 14th of February from 6pm until 9pm.
    RULES:
    1) Wait for the Ferry Building clock to strike 6:00pm.
    2) Don’t hit anyone without a pillow (unless they want it).
    3) Don’t hit anyone with a camera.
    4) Bring only pillows filled with natural materials (like cotton, hemp, and down) and not synethetics which will wash into the Bay and harm marine life.
    5) Bring a few trash bags to help clean up.

    ALSO, the Food Bank and Coalition on Homelessness will be collecting donations this year. Your help with pillows, blankets, clothing and non-perishable food items is very much appreciated.
