12, 13, 14, 15... oh, there's 16. Ten minutes into watching the Bay to Breakers 'race' cruise by off Laguna Street, I had already counted 16 naked people. So I stopped counting. I can't really think of any other city where an event like this could possibly take place. The serious runners finished the 12k run in under an hour. The rest of us made it an all day party. Besides the 'dick in a box' contingents (there were 3 that I saw), my favorite events of the day are as follows:
-Some house on Fell street playing "A pirate's life for me!" on their stereo set to full-blast. Not only because it made me feel like I was in Disneyworld, but because shortly thereafter, one member of my team, who was clearly motivated by the "ARRRGGHs," agreed to do her first (street) beer bong. She chugged with flying colors. Providers of the beer bong still unknown.
-The tortoise and the hare. So fucking adorable I couldn't stand it. Throughout the race, they would separate - the hare would jog up several yards, leaving the tortoise to run screaming to catch up. "Waaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!" So cute, I could puke.
-After the race. Walking through these magical woods in Golden Gate park dimpled in sunspecks with 2 mustaches, 2 cows and 3 brazilians.
Seriously, only in San Francisco.
