When Megan went to SF Gay Pride

This weekend was Gay Pride here in San Francisco and I was SUPER excited to go check it out. I mean, it's supposed to be one of the biggest Pride celebrations and here I was, sitting around SF looking for something to do. So Mike, K, LP and I decided to head out and see what the parade was all about. We got on a streetcar that was specifically for the parade. It said "Shuttle." LP and I did not really know exactly where the parade was so we ended up getting off a little early (oops!) and walked down Market until we saw........everyone.


We tried to get a little closer to the parade, but let me tell you, it was PACKED. We were about as close as we could get and that was about 3 people deep!


Man on stilts in glitter pants!!!

There was a lot of Jewish pride going on when we showed up. It was cute!



This girl had a pretty outfit on!!



Yes, some of them are men and some are women. Can you spot the difference?

I LOVED this guy's hat. It was so festive and purple and felty.



I couldn't get a good picture of this because it was sooooo far away, but on the hill is a big, pink triangle. LP watched them roll it out and thought it was a slip n slide. Apparently, he was wrong.
After we got tired of straining to see the parade, we decided to check out the festival. I had no clue that there was a festival to go with this parade but it was happening Saturday and Sunday, so we decided to see what it was all about. Let me tell you what it was all about: AWESOMENESS.




This was an average outfit for the festival. Minimal clothing.







View as we were walking down one of the streets. Yes, it was many streets long.


Ladies were LOVING this guy. He was clearly loving his body.

And Kalinda!!!



LP said these guys were wearing the actual Navy uniform tops. I'm not so sure about the glitter belt or the shorts........
I had no clue what this was as I approached from behind.....................

Oh, I get it now!!!!
One is a girl and one is a boy. Can you guess which is which?



Pride Princesses! Our rainbow wristbands combined to form an awesome time!!!!





Even the beer taps were rainbow! And were shaped like men's bodies.

We finally decided that after 2 hours or so, we should head home to where beers were cheaper than $7 and went down to the subway.
It was a great day outside so after Pride, we headed up to our roof deck to hang out for a while.
