What a great front row seat to have as a photographer
Every last Friday of the month, there's a critical mass event in San Francisco. Many cyclists gather by and we just mass cycle throughout the city. Lots of fun and good exercise (but many angry motorists) at the blocked traffic and all.
Its the one before last Stern Grove Free Concert series (http://www.sterngrove.org) this Sunday. They had SF Ballet (http://www.sfballet.org/) performing today.
Decided to go and check it out. it was my first live ballet performance ever and it was awesome ! loved it.Every month, the city of San Francisco organizes Sunday Streets (http://sundaystreetssf.com/) in one neighborhood, where they close off the streets and people can just enjoy walking, biking on the streets in 'safer' environment (intro from website :: Sunday Streets creates a safe, fun, car-free place for people to get out and get active in San Francisco neighborhoods.) They also have many activities planned on the streets by different group, free bike rentals, roller skates rentals etc.. pretty fun. This week they had it in the mission district (http://sundaystreetssf.com/?page_id=474). It was awesome. Enjoyed it a lot and disovered many new places in the mission, in places i rarely ventured. After SF streets, we went to Dolores park to a huge crowd, where the SF symphony orchestra was playing for free. Annie had planned a potluck picnic where it was great to meet up and spend the sunday afternoon in great company and great food !
SF Pride 2009 at the Civic Center. Had some awesome bands, awesome entertainment, people watching and great celebration of Freedom of Choices !!
I was home Saturday night, chilling out, with no big plans. I checked twitter and found many tweets mentioning a massive street party happening right now in the Castro district. Could not stay home and miss it. So headed out there and indeed it was a huge mega crowd, celebrating Pride.
