From sfgate.com today in an article about yesterday's Loveparade titled "Love can close the streets—and hurt your ears": "As tourists lined up at the Powell Street cable car turnaround ogled the passing floats, street preacher Tim Oliver of Fremont competed with the pounding beat for their attention. 'They're not demonstrating anything but their wickedness and evilness. There's no peace without Jesus Christ,' Oliver, 34, cried into his megaphone as an Elvis and a Cleopatra walked by arm in arm. He later admitted he had mistaken the Loveparade for the anti-war march." I did house chores in the morning (laundry, vacuuming, tidying) then met Galen, Peter, and Tony A for Folsom Street Fair. Ran into a bunch of friends and acquaintances along the way such as Rich, Adam, and Glenn. Grocery shopping at Safeway. Dinner at home with Mom Ryan and Patrick: roast turkey, chicken rice pilaf, sweet batard bread and margarine, peach sorbet. Watched The Princess Bride on DVD. Patrick and his mom had never seen it before.
