Well it’s the morning of the second Sunday of June, so that means it’s almost time for the Haight Ashbury Street Festival.
Lets take a look at some photos from recent years.
Look up…

…and down…
…and all around:
From Bluoz: Upper Haight is for Lovers:
Let your freak flag fly, baby. From the Eastern Stage:
From famous David Yu:
From Brian Brooks
And here’s one from Chris Witte:
There’s a feeling I get/
when I look to the West…
…and the East…
…on Haight Street on the Second Sunday in June.
At least the Yelpers like Frank:
This ganga guy in purple will sue you for $1000 if you take his photo, or something:

And Obama in a Giants cap, just the way they had it at the recent Union Street Festival:

You know who loves the Haight Street Fair? Parole agents
A mass of humanity:
Hookahs! Get your hookahs! It’s Hookahs.com
A dancing baby grooving on 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.
Former District Five Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi on the scene
Poorbot looking for handouts:
“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.
You kmow why this San Francisco Native baby is better than you? Cause he had the foresight to be born in San Francisco, that’s why. He won the lottery/ when he was born.
Bong Hits 4 Jesus
And There You Have It.

It generally looks like this scene from yesterday night, with three prowlers on hand to handle one set of sleepy-headed car sleepers:

Or so it seems.
To me.
You know, lately, the past few months.
Don’t know why…

PS: MUNI sucks. And San Francisco’s “strong Mayor” systems sucks as well. Perhaps there’s a relationship there…
PPS: Speaking of which, Mayor Ed Lee’s approval rating is now in the 40′s and MUNI’s on-time rating is down in the 50′s. Perhaps there’s a relationship there…
PPPS: An on-time rating is a fairly stupid way to keep track of MUNI, but it’s what we have so oh well.
And no one’s been lying
‘Cause we don’t lie any more

Via the Niana Blog from Carl and Cole, here’s what you need:
Bike Lane-Themed Packing Tape
“Whether you are a biker or not, it’s perfect for sealing your holiday cartons, boxes, or anything! People will be pleasantly surprised before they even open their packages.
2.5 inch x110 yards or 65mm x 100m. Wider than the regular 2 inch tapes (so that you don’t have to tape several times to ensure the carton opening is covered completely.)
I even used the bike lane tape on my checked luggage, and my suitcase totally stood out in the luggage conveyor at the airport. Not only my suitcase won’t be picked up by others by mistake any more, it also earned plenty of eyeballs 
”
OK then.

[UPDATE: And here's a late entry, from Bluoz: Upper Haight is for Lovers:

Things really didn’t get hopping until the fog went away in the afternoon, but the 2011 Haight Ashbury Street Fair went off without a hitch, with nary a peep from the notorious NIMBYs of the Western Addition.
(And oh, honorable mention goes to photographers Bob Horowitz (nice) and Dropatan (also nice).)
Let your freak flag fly, baby. From the Eastern Stage:
And here are some great shots.
First, from famous David Yu:
And here are a couple from Brian Brooks:
And here’s one from Chris Witte:
And more from past HASFs, after the jump
See you next year!

Or maybe you’d prefer the old sign?
The Yelpers seem to like this store, but they’re hardly unified on the matter.

Union-pleasing workforce training is in the offing now that Lowe’s ponied up their long-romised three-quarters of a mil.
(Let’s hope Lowe’s, when it finally opens down on Bayshore sometime before year’s end, doesn’t get into the business of selling City workers $9,580(!) BBQ grills like that one time with Cole’s Hardware…)
Now, who’s going to spend all this corporate largess? Young Community Developers, Inc., per this recent disclosure at SFGov.

Despite those hating Yelpers, today’s Haight Ashbury Street Fair was, once again, a huge success.
“The Haight-Ashbury Street Fair is held on the second Sunday of June each year, during which Haight Street is closed down between Stanyan and Masonic, with one sound stage at each end. This is a rather crowded event due to heavy tourism.”
Indeed:
