Things kick off in Dolores Park at 5:15pm on Friday, followed by a march down Valencia. Should you want to participate, there are plenty of fine photos from last year's Fauxtest to comb through for inspiration, but we're partial to this set of semi-serious signage:

Seems more like harmless levity than mean mockery to me.
They really don’t have anything better to do with their time? Sad.
Internet contrarian ironically claims others have too much time on their hands, more at 11.
