LoveFest



LoveFest is a big annual celebration of electrical music that starts with a parade of loud clubbing music trucks with dancers dressed up according to the theme the company has decided on. The parade begins at around Union Square and stations at Civic Center for the big party. People are dressed up in different types of costumes to attend the event. Among the interesting ones were a man dressed as Big Bird, another as a Chinese woman with a small stuffed tiger stuck in his tight underwear(perhaps to draw attention to his balls and stick), and a transexual in a hot pink outfit with net underwear revealing her nipples. There were even a group of butt naked men walking around, exposing their male private parts without any reservations. I was surprised that the police did not arrest them for indecent exposure!
It was interesting seeing people dance their hearts out in the street and letting out their wild sides with fancy hair styles, make-up, and costumes. The liberalism of San Francisco is fascinating; it embraces diverse groups of people regardless of their sexual orientations, religions, ethnicities, and personal beliefs and behaviors.
I had a blast people watching but ended up with a headache after two hours of letting my body vibrate with the strong bass music coming from the trucks I was near. It was a good study break though.
