Plus, people are not as cute in their zombie makeup as they are without it, so that's to be considered too.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-54077784210491499652011-12-14T18:04:53.829-08:002011-12-14T18:04:53.829-08:00waiting for the inevitable zombie-Santa event.

They were wandering all over my neighborhood as well and the bars up and down Market St. were packed. Still, it seemed a happy, mellow energy and it was fun to see so many Santas, in all ages, genders, sizes and colors.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-14093463979741754572011-12-11T21:29:19.379-08:002011-12-11T21:29:19.379-08:00Dear chrisinsf: Thanks for the kind words, and you...Dear chrisinsf: Thanks for the kind words, and you're absolutely correct about how young most of the Santas were yesterday. It was a cheering event, and I hope it doesn't get too big and out of control so that San Francisco authorities shut it down.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-53583636456010756342011-12-11T21:21:29.065-08:002011-12-11T21:21:29.065-08:00Hi Mike --

'Merry Christmas!’ I yelled back.<br /><br />enjoyed your photo essays from palm springs, too.chris enquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934603148669524115noreply@blogger.com
