Muni's Guide to the Weekend: Parolees on Parade
Oh, wait, that's parol, not parole. Apparently a parol is some kind of Xmas ornament. Cute. Well, anyway, as far as we can make out, there's going to be some ornament-making arts and crafts, and then a SOMA procession honoring them on Saturday. That doesn't sound too objectionable.
Also: a football game, or whatever sport the 49ers are. Full details after the jump.

Thanks Muni for the hour-long ride to Embarcadero last night from the inner sunset. The tunnel had such a backup, it was stop and go all the way in. Normally this is a 25-30 minute ride. Coming home wet from the rain, I decided not to take Muni. After unsuccessfully trying to get a cab for 15 minutes in the rain (in a cab zone by the Hyatt), I opted to take a limo that was passing by. Score: Muni -1. Cabs 0. Limo 1.
Wow. What an extremely lazy post. Would it have hurt to do a little research on parols and given a better description than "some kind of Xmas ornament"
I hope someone on your staff who has at least a small interest in Filipino culture will be doing a separate post about the Parol Lantern Festival Parade.
