  • While in SF, it is a must to become part of a Manwich by the Geisha_Girl and her suppa-fly vixens. An Experience that you will never forget!

  • The Union Street Fair kicks the summer fairs off on the first weekend of June. The local artist, craftsmen and photographers sell their goods along with an array of other booty for your buying pleasure. There are food booths represent the nearby restaurants and “beer gardens” (read: covered chain link fences) for your drinking needs. Unfortunately they get packed and unpleasant.

    The police were tossing people beers and drinks away who were walking in the street. Smart people bring flasks.

  • Although perhaps not well represented by a couple of my friends, there were beautiful babies everywhere. Both the girls and the guys in our group were very impressed with the gene pool that was represented.

    There were some people with us visiting in from other parts of the country. One guy from Michigan was speechless - on so many different levels.

  • And of course, with any all day party affairs, as the day progressed, the more beer consumed – and you begin to tell people how good of a friend they are.

    Ohh ya… the important stuff\

    Local Events: Haight Street Fair
  • Tip Rating:
  • Even though the Union Street and Haight Street fair were within a mile or two from each other and a day apart - they were from two different worlds

    Of course there were food booths, arts and crafts - just with a Haight Street flavor. Instead of boobies popping out everywhere, there were dreadlocks and 2 foot spiked Mohawks. Instead of only drink’n in “gardens” the WHOLE place was a beer garden. If any beer was pured out, it was your own fault. Many people walking down the streets were silently advertising their products for sell as the cops looked over smiling. yup... smiling.

    The ironic thing is, people were more in control here than Union. You didn’t have the drunk ex-frat boy yelling to his buddy, “hey a$$hole over here!!!” Instead you had dancing in the street. Very interesting and deep if you ask me.

  • Among the many street performers and musicians, there were a group of traditional Aztec (I believe) dancers. The highlight of the show was the “Fire Dance” where one of the dancers will roast different parts of his body over an open flame. Some of the heat probably made his balls sweat - a little too close to the boys than I would like.

    Their garments were elaborate. But you must look at all the people in the picture. Such characters in this part of the city.

    Local Events: Haight Street Fair
  • Tip Rating:
  • There were also Caribbean music, Break Dancers, Hippie rock on stage at the end of the fair, as well as several houses along the Haight that had parties, many of which shared their music with the masses by placing the speakers out the windows – a little funk, a little hip-hop and a whole lotta house. Very nice mix.

  • Some of us ended up for a spell in this friend of a friend of a friend’s party who lived on Haight; She had a DJ on point spinning good hip-hop. (read: no MTV ***e). Considering it was a party on the Haight, it would not have been appreciated for me, a complete random, taking photos or it. We got hungry and later went on a search for food.

  • Where else can you see a hippie with a cell phone selling “ganja cookies” on the street while the City’s Police and Firemen look over the crowd making sure everyone has a good safe time.

  • Dance’n in the streets!!!

    A half a block up Ashbury, one of the houses decided to make a little street dancing happen. Since the street was already closed off, they collected a few old couches and recliners, DJ posted up in an apartment, you could see him spinning through the windows between the speakers. Everyone drinking and dancing the day away. Great house music I must say.
