Wednesday, April 25th, 2012How Weird Street Faire 2011 a Huge Success – A Maypole for May Day – Buff Darth Vader Best in Show
Sunday, May 1st, 2011The 12th Annual How Weird Street Faire went off without a hitch today down in the SoMA.
(There’s little wonder about why the former Howard Street Festival is so popular, of course.)
This year’s theme was “Mythical Realms” a celebration of a pefect society where differences are appreciated as things of beauty.
Check it:
Now, doesn’t this maypole remind you of your schoolgirl days at Bryn Mawr?

Hunky Darth Vader turned a few heads:
It was just as you would have imagined it:
And, good news! It seems white people no longer get Chinese character tattoos anymore – they’re into pink poodles and whatnot. See?
How weird!
All right, that’s it for this year:
“I’m drunk and Osama Bin Laden is dead #howweird“
Lastly, leave us give thanks to all the NIMBY’s of the SoMA, for not complaining so much this go-around. Huzzah!
“If theres a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now
Its just a spring clean for the May Queen”
See you next year!

The Devil Strikes Prada – May Day Attack Actually Improves Look of Italian Retailer
Sunday, May 3rd, 2009Just look at what los diablitos did to Prada on the evening of May Day in San Francisco’s Union Square – the anarchists done tore up storefronts on Grant Street. Well that’s par for the course, but the aftermath of the attack on these massive glass doors at the Prada outlet looks so cool that customers couldn’t tell that vandals had dropped by.
People pay good money for this kind of effect, of course.
Store clerks just propped open one of the doors so you could tell that they were open for business and life went on as before. Click to expand:
That looks much better than gauche plywood, doesn’t it? How banal!
Busted tempered glass looks interesting:
What will the Black Block do next?
