CALIF: April 1, Thursday: SF: Mock Bush and his bigots at "Saint Stupid's Day" march,

Here's an excerpt stolen from the weeeeeeeeird FCLL site:

"... 26rd annual ST. STUPID'S DAY PARADE [in SF].
NOON, THURSDAY, APRIL FIRST.
Starting at the Embarcadero Plaza, down at [or near] the foot of Market Street,
no, the Other foot, the one closer to the Ferry Building,
and winding its snackreligious way thru the financial district of
the city that knows how but not how much.
Bring your old lottery tickets, pennies and socks
for the stations of stupid, and dress accordingly. [......]

[Questions by SUN?: (1) Bring your own signs or costumes mocking Bush and his mob of bigots? (2)This undated notice may be for 2004, since April 1 is Thursday? (2) The Thomas Brothers map doesn't show any "Embarcadero Plaza", but Embarcadero Center consists of five buildings near Justin Herman Plaza? So maybe the good Cardinal has fused these two concepts? So maybe paraders might gather outside one of these E.P. buildings? Like if you start at Sacramento & Battery and look for folks in costumes, you might get lucky? Allow extra time for being lost? Like start hunting around 11AM?
(3) Clothing? At this event, SF police will tolerate bare-breasted women, but won't allow genital nudity? http://www.indybay.org/news/2004/03/1675570.php ]
