It’s the end of summer… for San Francisco it means the weekends are just extremely action packed! Festivals, concerts, events, you name it… This weekend was especially crazy, with the Jazz festival “strictly hardly bluegrass” for the older crowed and “Love Evolution” for the much younger crowed.
Unfortunately “Love Evolution” came crashing my plan of a fine picnic at the Bluegrass. I hence decided to check out what the fuss was all about and get a pick at “Love Evolution”.
The organizers of this parade are the same as the Gay Pride. It starts as a parade then it ends at Civic Plaza. The Parade is free but the Plaza party is 10$. My thoughts and opinion… I recommend if you’re under 21, if you like drunk teenagers, if you’re a girl with a compulsive need to show your ass in public… If I got my share of penis at the Folsom Fair, I got my share of teenage ass at Love Evolution!
Music wise… very disappointing… there’s about 25 fleet all around the Civic Plaza, which means you can hear the music of at least 2 other Fleets when you try to enjoy one. Also it translates by a lot of crowed movement as everyone tries to find the best party, making it hard for people to just be able to dance peacefully.
Did I have fun? No, I had planed to spend 4 hours there and stayed barely 2 hours, maybe danced for 10 mn. One might argue that I’m too old for this, maybe I am, but it really didn’t feel like a party to me. I would recommend less fleet, better sound surround, more space for dancing. Also if you have a teenage kid in SF I recommend you send them to their grand parents on that weekend!
Well here are a few pix so you can see what it’s all about! Here are the Fleet action pictures:
