So K and I went to Safeway on Church and Market last night, Saturday. As we were walking back to the car with our bags of groceries, I said to her “What the fuck is that noise? Can you imagine living above that bar with all that noise? I would chew my fucking brain out if I had to listen to that on a Saturday evening”. Then I saw flailing arms at the bottom of the stairs. Hmmm…strange. I thought someone was break dancing. I said to K “Let’s go check it out”.

As we walked closer to the stairs that lead up to Safeway from Market street I saw quite a sight. About 50-75 people dancing in the street to very loud music. this music was coming from 2 speakers rigged up to a tricycle (a big one). There was a laptop on the ground and a tall Indian guy hovering around it.

It was a fucking dance party in the middle of intersection of Church and Market. We danced. It was so fun! I’m sure this shit doesn’t happen in Ohio. I danced next to a couple, the man had his 1 month old in a sling around his chest. There were young kids and older ladies. There were white, black, latino, indian, pink, gay, straight, whatever people dancing together in the street on a chilly Saturday night in San Francisco. And just for a moment I felt that the world was not so bad.

I hate to share this because in a month or so this will become the next Burning Man of SF <rolling eyes>
But it was fucking fun…..
