Pride is a HUGE event in San Francisco drawing in thousands upon thousands of people from all over the United States every year. This protest was put together by LGBTQ activists as a "creative way to tell the hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ people from all over the country coming to San Francsico in June for Pride to stay out of the boycotted hotels." It's extremely clever and also fun to watch which is such a great way to really get people to pay attention. I've been in TONS AND TONS of protests in my time, most of which have been marching down the street holding signs. This is a whole new spin on things and I really admire what they are doing to get their point across.

Bad Bad Hotels.
Leave it to the gays to know how protest in the most effective way possible! This video was made in San Francisco (my home!) when a flash mob PROTEST (awesome!) kicked off in the middle of the Westin St. Francis hotel to "a boycott called by the workers of the hotel who are fighting to win a fair contract and affordable healthcare."

Pride 2009
This is what I've been up to lately...
(Pride Edition!)
I've been having so much fun lately, and this past weekend was no exception. In fact, i would go so far as to say it was probably my favorite weekend so far in 2009. The feeling of how lucky I am to live where I live pumps through my veins when I am surrounded by San Francisco coming together as a community. I'm extremely lucky.
Side note, a friend's dad saw this video and wants me to do freelance work for him! Amazing!
