Carnaval San Francisco
June 16, 2010 – 4:02 pmIt’s been a while since I posted here. My school term, which ended a couple of weeks ago, was about as busy as they come. Though I only teach part time, I was teaching 4 nights a week. Lots of extra travel time and the usual prep and grading kept me hoppin’.
“SLASH OIL” EVENT — Saturday, June 26, 10 a.m., Ocean Beach, SF Brad Newsham, of Impeach at the Beach fame, is scheduling another interactive piece at the beach. Approximately two thousand people will gather at 10 a.m. on Ocean Beach in San Francisco for a peaceful exercise in democracy and community. We will lie down on the sand, arranged into a sprawling “Slash Oil” image which will be photographed from an overhead helicopter. Be there or be square. Sign up.
The San Francisco Mime Troupe will be performing in the parks again this Summer (their 51st year). The play this year is entitled Posibilidad, or Death of the Worker. Check out their website for lots more information. They will be playing in Richmond on August 25. Mark your calendars now. More information to follow.
San Francisco Carnaval is always the last weekend in May. There’s a several hour parade which winds through the Mission District. It’s a great time, and, as usual, I shot lots of photos. Here’s a few of the best ones. You can see lots more on my Flickr page.
