Apparently there is this thing called Carnaval in the Mission. Neat! Unfortunately it starts at 9:30 in the morning (7:30 if you live anywhere near the hippie drum circle warm-up lounge). Anyways, because I assume most of you had better things to do with your morning, like have sex and eat Lucky Charms, I took my 7-year-old point-and-shoot that has survived two drops in the toilet (I like taking pictures of myself peeing) and my 5-month-old iPhone. Which do you think took better photos? Enjoy:
My Carnaval started out just right: two smug white people complaining about “idiots” using disposable coffee cups. For a hot second, I mumbled “fucking tourists.” Then I remembered I was in San Francisco.
Carnaval 2010 Press Pool
Carnaval is the only time of the year when you can be coked out swinging a machete down 24th and not get shot by police.
The world's most embarrassing gang initiation ceremony.
The street closures presented the perfect opportunity for hipster divas to take “epic profile pics.”
I initially photographed this girl because I thought she looked like Cousin Itt.
After Zorro here tried to whip my camera out of my hand, he discovered his cape wasn't bullet-proof.
It was truly a hallmark year for fashion. For example, this bro managed to incorporate every one of the hipster primary colors into his outfit.
Here is my proof that I witnessed a celebrity sighting.
I kept waiting for Peter Parker to change into his Spideysuit, but it never happened.
Anyways, what was my favorite scene of Carnaval 2010?
Want.

At the rate things are going, by next year there won’t be a parade, just a bunch of guys with high-end Canons photographing each other.
Your a yuppie bro.
photographing tags, drinking pabst, and riding fixies are what yuppies do to try to fit in.
I am a yuppie. A yuppie with fabulous hair.
