Berlin Tradition Dances Through SF
When the San Francisco version of Berlin's long-running Love Parade made its debut four years ago, nearly 40,000 revelers turned out for a celebratory dance-music party that filled downtown streets. Though it may be far smaller than the Berlin electronic festival was at its peak (an estimated 1.5 million attended in 2000), the inaugural San Francisco event proved to be a positive, one-of-a-kind experience for everyone involved. Rechristened once again for the 2009 edition, this year's San Francisco LovEvolution parade and festival will once again pack thousands into the Civic Center for the celebration. This year's line-up of parade floats features plenty of hometown flavor with a variety of SF-based clubs, DJ collectives, record labels and party producers such as [KONTROL], Supperclub, Spundae, Qool, TempleSF, Pink, Ruby Skye, Triple Crown, Om Records, Anon Salon and Space Cowboys participating.
Racers flock to second Whistler Spirit Run
More than 150 runners bounded through the courses set for Saturday�s cross-country races, which were geared toward organized running groups such as clubs and teams from elementary and high schools and universities, as well as masters athletes. The biggest single team that came to the Spirit Run hailed from Victoria�s Oak Bay High School, a public school that sent 39 kids to run in the Olympic Park, Whistler Spirit Run board member Peter Diemer said. Diemer said every event showed an increase in entries, as organizers this year stepped up efforts to spread the word about the running festival through media such as newspapers and radio, and social media tools like Facebook and Twitter accounts. Participation by corridor athletes also rose, Diemer added. �It�s been an amazing weekend.
