LovEvolution, née LoveFest, has found a new home after the city grew weary of the thumping bass and rolling crowds of brightly colored teensters descending on Civic Center every year. Growing concerns about the free event's surging popularity and recent cases of nightlife-adjacent violence made city officials standoffish about these sorts of things and last year's event was canceled after a dispute about the location.

According to the Examiner today, discussions between organizers and the city about alternate locations for this year's event never came together. So, after determining that the Polo Fields were too cold for the pasties-and-fishnets crowd, festival promoters opted to take this year's event to Oracle Arena in Oakland where the sunny climates, transit accessibility and crowd control know-how made it an obvious choice.

At least one member of the Entertainment Commission lamented the move saying, "We should be a city that is pumping 24/7, because that’s what cities do.”

Adam Jackson shot the above video that shows scores and scores of youthful types heading to Saturday's SF LovEvolution/Love Parade bash at Civic Center. We don't know how they crammed their lithe bodies into that train; in fact, we don't want to know. We just thank the Lord we weren't on this inbound train at Civic Center. Shudder.

Also, we are saddened and surprised to see the men not as whorishly dressed as their female counterparts. Of course, we blame women for this glaringerror; men do not know how to outfit themselves at these kind of events. It's your job, women, to strip off most of their clothing beforehand. Tsk, tsk.
