Just got back from the parade, and boy did I take a buttload of pictures.
Didn't see everything because we went wandered up to the Grand Hyatt on the Embarcadero for lunch at about 12:30.
I missed the Barbary Coast Cloggers. Bummer!
But I did get some pictures of one of my other favorite contingents, the Stanford Band! I couldn't make out what they were playing. It kind of sounded like "Alley Oop." Could that be right? But I don't have a real well-trained ear. To me, all marching bands sound like they're playing "Alley Oop." Even at funerals.
Also saw a lot of stuff that they didn't have in my day, including an anti-circumcision group, and an eight-foot tall anthropomorphic penis.
And as long as we're testing the outer edges of kurttrue.com's family-friendly boundaries, I figure I might as well throw in my pictures of the Altoids float, the anti-drug g-string guy and the half-nekkid balloon people.
What the hell! It's Pride Weekend!
