She's my Man





Article in the SF Gate

Lara and I walked off the train at Castro Station after work tonight to hear thumping bass and loud music, more than a passing car at 10:30pm. Upon walking up and out, we found the party in the street. The block of Castro St from 18th to Market was closed off, and there was a DJ spinning techno beats and the entire community out partying in the street --dancing, drinking, kissing, and celebrating the California Supreme Court's morning ruling that gay marriage is constitutional.
Posters and stickers and signs with catchy phrases and statements like "Liberty Justice and Marriage for All" echoed the stenciled grafitti all over 18th st sidewalks and their plea to "End Marriage Gay Shame."



If we weren't so exhausted from working late and the thought of being back to work at 8am the next day wasn't looming overhead, we would have dropped our things off at my house and come back out to dance in the street to bad music, but instead tackled the issue at hand:
Well where does the 24 pick up if the street is closed, and how to get home??
