The Folsom Street Fair, “a feisty offspring of a distinctively San Francisco menage-a-trois of transgressive sex, community building, and grassroots activism,” attracts kinky freaks from around the world. It’s an event that I truly love and a reality that I try to carry into my every day life.
Though there were many amazing and positive things to report on at the event, I’m choosing to post an interview with 2 of the 3 individuals protesting the fair outside one of the gates. Ignorant homophobes like these used to really upset me (and sometimes still do) but recently I’ve found them extremely hilarious.
Just like I believe the Phelps use their anti-gay signs as an excuse to sing about explicit gay butt sex (see photo from June 16th Protest), the Folsom Protesters used their “No Public Nudity, No Street Orgies” sign as an excuse to stand at the entrance and watch all the half naked kinky queers walk in.
(Thanks to Syd and Jiz for making this experience even more hilarious)

I’m going to post a few retrospective pieces about what I’ve been up to since the last post, if I can remember!
This weekend we started out visiting the new Rothko: Late Series exhibit at Tate Modern. The 15 Seagram Murals in the main room tend to make the paintings in the other rooms superfluous really. Like filler tracks on an album. In fact Rothko’s are kind of the artistic equivalent of techno. Minimal and repetitive. The main room is hung nice and high [apparently to Rothko's specifications] so there’s no problem seeing the works. There is a heaviness about these pieces that having them hung that high they seem to bear down on you and feel as if the should be humming like the sound of the turbines downstairs. Good stuff. I’m sure I’ll be visiting a few more times before January.
We walked along the Thames after to see how much of Drift 08 we could spot. Only three pieces it turned out. The laser bridge at Blackfriars, which just looked like several green beams over the river. And a reflective sheet on a boat in the river that was dwarfed into insignificance by the river itself. Very poor. One of the painted buoys we passed was quite good but as it was dark by then so we couldn’t see it too well.
We popped into The Most Bar for a quick one while we waited for a table to become free in Dim T at More London. Where I had myself a Modelo Especial, which wasn’t as special as they made it out to be. I thought it was to be 6% hard to find Mexican beer but it turns out to beer a poor cousin to Corona and a paltry 4%. I enjoyed my Dim-Sum though and that More London development is looking quite impressive, although that water feature down the main thoroughfare has got to have a few drunken office workers on their faces each week, surely!
I’m trying out this Zemanta tool with Blogger at the moment, which may have been responsible to this post disappearing completely earlier, when I went back to edit something. I’m not at all impressed if it was. Anyway, it’s that which is creating the new little box below and finding the content for it. Which is pretty nifty. It’s also prompted me to start using the labels below.
