While we were out perusing second home possibilities in Rincon Hill all weekend long (exhausting!), a smattering of predominately white liberal arts majors had a kick-ass party on Valencia Street this past weekend. Fun!
Check it: There was ice cream, jump roping, rave couture, masks, finger paints, the destruction of a perfectly good couch, exoticizing of the Spanish language, blocking traffic, and something or other to do with Proposition 98. You know, the one about abolishing rent control? (.com or .org -- you decide!) Anyway, check out anitakhart's amazing collection of images taken at the big party.




i have some more low-res pics over here:

Please oh please can we repeal the entire initiative process yet? Fucking Sousaphones, for crying out loud.
It would have been more interesting to see elderly and/or persons on disability, who are directly benefiting from rent control, mixing in with these Valencia kids at the party. I would have loved to have seen Robert Potter, from the noprop98.org website, jump roping or finger painting.
