Bay to Breakers 2008

This past Sunday we went to the annual Bay to Breakers event here in SF. It is a 12k through the city that It is held every third Sunday in May. And no, we didn't run it. What happens is after the race participants clear through the course, thousands of people dressed in all sorts of costumes walk the course with floats and props and everything. It was a wild scene - very San Francisco. Here are some pics of it all.


Here we are - dressed as San Francisco tourists

The Russians were there


So were Da' Bears

So do Nascar pit crews


Free hugs


Free buns


By the time we made it to Golden Gate Park, people were in the trees

Free petroleum jelly at the Red Cross table - not sure why you would need this, but I'm sure somebody did


The people dressed as keg cups didn't make it


Blair and I jumped in and played the guys with the mobile b-ball court


We won


Some guy handed me his parrot


Plenty of love to go around in this city


It was quite a day
