How Weird Street Faire

Sunday May 6, 2007

It's Weirdo de Mayo, and the beginning of the 2007 season of outdoor events. And you are invited to participate!

 

For the eighth and last time, Howard Street will be transformed into a festival of peace. The How Weird Street Faire is being forced to relocate due to its overwhelming success. So we're leaving the neighborhood in style - featuring five blocks of high quality music, art, performances, vendors from around the world, and much more. Art and decor will be provided by Anon Salon. Music provided by CCC, Sunset, Tantra, Symbiosis, Earthdance, Lowpro Lounge, Dub Beautiful, False Profit, and Music Without Borders (Get Freaky, Muti Music, and Raindance)!

 

This will be a spectacle you won't want to miss. Once again, we will fill the center intersection of Howard and 12th Streets with a mandala of grass - an urban crop circle - a place to relax and connect (without the mud). And this year will feature a special new area called "Ambient Alley" on Kissling Street, a place to escape with chill down-tempo and mid-tempo music.

 

One of the themes of this year's faire is Sustainable Technology. The entire faire will be run on bio-diesel this year. All seven seven dance stages will be powered by bio-diesel, and one sound system completely powered by humans on bikes! There will also be bike powered educational exhibits, provided by Humboldt State's Center for Appropriate Technology. And there will be exhibits and carnival games on sustainability. Please bike or take public transportation to the faire. There will be a bike valet service provided by the SF Bicycle Coalition. The faire is located two blocks south of Market Street & Van Ness.

 

The How Weird Street Faire is an experiment in creating peace. It is a meta-community formed of the diverse music, art, political, and social communities of the entire San Francisco Bay Area, working together and finding similarities instead of differences.

 

And for the first time, the How Weird Street Faire will be represented as a meta-world environment in Second Life. Through the virtual reality of Second Life, people will be able to participate in the faire from all over the world. Check with the HowWeird.org website for details.

 

Please join us live, or virtually in Second Life, on Sunday May 6th for Weirdo de Mayo, the 8th annual How Weird Street Faire - celebrating all things peace, Mexican-American, sustainable, and fun! The suggested donation is $5 in a costume, or $10 without (kids free). Colorful costumes are highly encouraged. All ages are welcome.

 

Please come early to experience the whole day! The faire will end at 5:55 pm this year. However, there will be several after parties.

 

The How Weird Street Faire is a project of and fundraiser for the non-profit World Peace Through Technology Organization, which is planning a peace event in Mt. Shasta on 7/7/7.
