On San Francisco
There is always something going on in San Francisco, but the last few weekends has offered some events I could not say no to.
Due to the relative small size of the actual city (it only has around 800.000 citizens) it actually gets quite crammed when the inhabitants of the bay area (approx 7,5 million people) transcends upon it. This was the case last weekend, where the city housed three major events; LovEvolution, Oktoberfest and the Bluegrass festival. I attended the LovEvolution which was a parade down Market street from 4th street to town hall, where the various floats formed a semicircle and started competing for the attention of the roughly 500.000 dancing guests. I met a few friends in the city and we danced our shoes thin until we could barely walk…
Navigating the streets are not easy during LovEvolution!
Participants were regular San Franciscans and bay areans, although with an emphasis on the younger audience. This was reflected in the music which was electronic through and through.
Only in San Francisco!
Compared to the Folsom Street Leather Fair, LovEvolution was very toned down with regards to the gay-movement, but American Apparel (who makes the shorts) does make a nice point, though.

The parade ended around 8 p.m. after DJ Deadmau5 finished his set. The after party had him headlining along with Groove Armada and many others. I was too cold and worn down to continue – As my sensible dad (and Benny) would have said: Go’ nu nat og gå nu lige hjem, mens du stadig er ved dine fulde fem!
