The first weekend in July in San Francisco was the Gay Pride weekend, which is a huge party here. Parts of the city become street festivals, and on Sunday the parade along Market Street in the heart of the city is the highlight. I burnt the candle at both ends, going out late at night but getting up at 5:30 am to help out with the Google float, which was a take on Star Trek featuring George Takei a.k.a. Mr Sulu from the original Star Trek TV series. It was a huge amount of fun. After the parade I met up with a group of friends in the Civic Gardens and drank flavoured vodka to the antics of the awesome SFCheer cheerleader troupe - how's that for a gay combination - and the weekend wound up dancing Salsa at El Rio, one of my favourite bars here in the Mission.
