I just got back from spending a fun week at a conference in San Francisco. We were able to get out of our hotel's overly-air-conditioned conference rooms and enjoy SF, which, as I've written before, is a wonderful city.
Now, back in Seattle, the weather has warmed up and it's time for the first major festival of the season - the Fremont Solstice Parade. Although Fremont is now rather yuppified, it still hangs on to it's bohemian (read: hippy) past by hosting a wacky, irreverent parade to celebrate the beginning of summer. The most interesting part of the parade is usually the hordes of nude bicyclists. Some of these people are elaborately painted and obviously put time and thought into their "costumes"; others are just exhibitionists who want to hang around naked without getting arrested.
