You're invited to bodypaint and get bodypainted for freedom and peace, on Nude Peace Day,
the second Saturday of each October, at Baker Beach, San Francisco.
Adults of all genders and orientations.

Please take #29 Muni bus to Baker Beach (either of two stops; ask driver); or bike there; or walk from Geary Blvd. and 25th Ave.
Walk to northern parking lot. Then walk north on beach (toward GG Bridge), thru prude zone and into clothing-optional zone. Follow the cable fence (separating usable beach from protected vegetation) until you see a Leather Pride Flag (bearing red heart, with stripes of black, blue, and white).
If you don't see the flag yet, just enjoy the beach on your own. Look again for flag, or bodypainters, each half-hour, especially near the log stairway.
No reliable time can be guaranteed. We hope to be there by 2PM...
RAIN CANCELS.
For updates + related news, please visit:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nakity/
....

Why? Because OUR BODIES SPEAK FOR US:
Beyond mere words, our nakist bodies signify our ideals of human liberation. They represent the genome of the human species, surprisingly similar on every continent. Our semantic nakity conveys messages of hope, and of danger. Our bodies speak for our souls. Our anti-costume calls for freedom now. Our public nakity, open to sun and fog and wind, calls for understanding that our Mother Earth is mortal, and that we must come swiftly to her rescue....

Dictator gives U.S. an October Surprise,
just before Congressional elections:
...

What does NORTH KOREA's dictator really want?

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=16&entry_id=9631
...

[ More questions by TBL:
(1) Why was underground nuke test held just a few weeks before U.S. elections ?
(2) What (if anything) can be done to restrain North Korea's dangerous and brutal dictator?
(3) Will North Korea make money by secretly selling nuke-tech, as Pakistan did (or does) ?
(4) What does this test say about U.S. policies toward North Korea ?
Especially since Nine-Eleven ( September 2001) ? ]
