Haight Ashbury Street Fair 2009 a Huge Success

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Not sure what the Yelpers have a problem with, but the Haight Ashbury Street Fair went off today without a hitch, just like last year.

Look at the swirling mass of humanity on just one block of Haight Street:

Can you see the superfluity of nuns in white approaching the Fair? Also note the F430 Ferrari supercar (sans license plates), one of many exoticars that made the journey to the Upper Haight today. Also note the sign: “No Open Containers of Alcohol.” Too bad.

Of course, all you need to get around the alcohol ban is a gallon jug of overproofed white rum and a giveaway “water” bottle. As seen on Ashbury.

District Five Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi was on the scene, gathering names for his newsletter distribution list.

“SHOW US YOUR BOOBS… please.” “FABULOUS PRIZES.” “DON’T WORRY (WE’RE GAY)” These inebriates residing above the Ben & Jerry’s at the corner of Ashbury were true to their word, tossing down trinkets to all flashers male and female.

San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury Street Fair a Huge Success

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Yesterday’s Haight Ashbury Street Fair in San Francisco came with sunny skies and lots of attendees.

The alcohol ban of recent years has changed the character of this event somewhat. These days, the boozy Union Street Festival might have an edge in the number of inebriated. No matter, a good time was had by all in the Haight.

So, dig the colors of David Yu and look at a bunch of photos from SFWeekly

A mass of humanity:

The 411 on 420 – Your Guide to Medical Marijuana in San Francisco

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Well, to get started, you need a prescription from a doctor. If you can’t get one for $100 from Uber-Desi and “Doc 420″ Sona Patel M.D., you can always go to someone else.

With that out of the way, it’s time to decide where to go. Why not the Vapor Room herbal center in the Lower Haight? It seems popular.

But if that doesn’t work for you, you can choose others on this website here – it’s like Yelp for medical Marijuana. Speaking of which, why not just go to Yelp itself and check out their reviews?

As long as everybody pays their taxes to the state of California, everything should work out just fine.
