In what is quickly becoming a periodic pilgrimage to escape the drudgery of every day life, I made my annual journey to the mean streets of the Bay Area for some sun, fun and baseball. Unlike past visits, I wasn't content with the tame combination of Charlie's Taqueria, a drive through Silicon Valley and some poorly played baseball. No, this escape had to be, shall we say, interesting.With that requirement in mind, it was with great joy that I was able to bum a room from the ever hospitable duo of Dwight and Carol, grab a free plane ticket thanks to frequent flier miles and find a cheap rental car during San Fran's busiest weekend of the year. No, there were no wine festival, or a bunch of techies trekking to Cupertino. Instead, it was Pride weekend, and what a weekend it was.
(Now that you've clicked on the above link, please use this time to utter an oft used expression correctly for maybe the first time ever - "That is so gay...")
While I could ramble on about topless lesbians on Harleys that easily outweighed myself, small Asian men dressed as cupid, or people with breasts and an underwear bulge, I will just let the pictures do the talking...
One other note - It's great to know that even in this "difficult economic climate", there are still jobs to be had.

WOW! yeah, that was I'd say an interesting trip! But glad you had a blast!
It was awesome - everyone should go at least once in their lives. I'm doubting New England will see something comparable any time soon.
Great snaps, too bad there weren't more of them.
You should have seen the Halloween street party before it was "discontinued".
Anyway, glad to see you again. You're welcome anytime. Thanks for going straight to the airport after being outside in the 90 degree heat all day. Carol had dusted off the old Cold War gas mask just in case.
