And since that means I'll be missing the parade tomorrow I headed out to the Civic Center earlier this afternoon to get a little bit of Pride on. For me SF street festivals are really just an excuse to eat, so I grabbed some delicious corn cakes topped with plantains, black beans, and cheese from Pica Pica and wandered around taking in the politicized vibe this year. Anti-8 clipboarders were literally everywhere, as well as those unfortunate American Apparel "Legalize Gay" t-shirts. There were plenty of smiles and good cheer as well, however, no doubt in large part because of the glorious sunshine, and I collapsed on the grass in it myself for a while equipped with a frozen strawberry margarita. As more states across the country move to grant same-sex couples marriage rights, I have to have faith that by this time next year we'll be able to call ourselves "Equalifornia" once again, and for good.
