BRING YOUR OWN BIG WHEEL
Dear San Francisco,
I miss you. I swear if you weren't so expensive, I'd move back. Every big city has its unique culture but you old friend really take the cake. I mean, no where else can I find annual pillow fights in the middle of downtown. Total strangers beating the crap out of each other and it's all harmless fun. Nothing but laughter awash a sea of feathers.
And then you have other cultural perks like the annual BYOBW event. That's "bring your own big wheel" for all you noobs. What possesses grown ass people from all walks of life to come together on Easter Sunday and race down your most twistiest street on a big wheel? The cops don't care, they just close down the street and watch as mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, friends and strangers revert to 6 year olds screaming as they race gleefully down Lombard street. BYOBW 2006 looked so much fun.
Ah San Francisco. You crack me up. I miss you lots. I might come visit this Easter just to witness BYOBW 2007. Until then, I'll have to be happy with this video and the pictures after the jump.
Sincerely,
Electro^Plankton
