To make this happen. Yet another in a very long line of "Only in SF could this happen" events in the past couple of weeks.

Being somewhat incredulous and mesmerized at once, you finally ask those next to you, "did you see that?".

The nightmare either begins, or the dream ends, with their responses.

We could organize 1/state to get it up on a certain day. Where I live we could use hayfields - hell, get some liberal farmer to make a corn maze, too. Liberals kick ass when they organize.

It was a perfect day for this - the weather this time of year can be funky, but the weather gods were kind to us. Great turnout (as usual) -- this was the longest message we've ever spelled out. Good cross section of people and LOTS of doggies!

My friends and I were at a the top of the "s".

Thanks to Brad for making this happen yet again!

This is so cool that these people came together to do this artistic event.
I grew up in S.F. and now I live in the land of RE-THUGS the central valley.
All over the great state there are GOOD PEOPLE.
