LovEvolution Parade!!!!

The Love Parade is an interactive parade/dance party in downtown San Fransisco. It is a partner festival to a parade that started in Berlin after the fall of the Berlin Wall. See in 2003, the city denied the parade a permit and the event moved to San Fransisco. This parade is the largest single-day electronic music event in America. Last year 120,000 people attended!
This parade also provides music scholarships, equipment for schools and support for at-risk intercity youth.
We danced and hooped all day long at the parade and after party! On Friday we went to visit the San Fransisco Museum of Modern Art and on Sunday we walked across the city to the Museum of the Sciences. Wow- what an awesome adventure:)

Pics include these crazy people on the light pole, Kristoff and Mimi (a new friend who is a DJ who spins at many of the partys I go too). Also me and the Walrus! (coo coo cachoo!) I made my costume special for LoveFest and will be posting youtube videos soon!








Symbiosis 2009!





Kristoff and I did not make it to Burning Man this year but we soon heard about a festival that was said to be even better than the burn. So we ventured to Yosemite National Park near San Fransisco CA. We had a fabulous time- camped out with an amazing group of people who were all very open minded, creative, healthy and friendly! We made tons of friends and connections for other events and also Burning Man/Symbiosis next year! We did have a bit of a mishap when we lost the keys hiking but I suppose we exchanged the keys with the Universe for a few more days in Yosemite! All in all I highly recommend the event and the Park.

The pictures include the cube- which was soooo popular with people passing by- they would stop and play for 30 mins or more sometimes!
