DESCRIPTION:Who is Love Parade San Francisco?  In 2001, a diverse group of San 
 Franciscans envisioned bringing Loveparade to the US for the first time. 
 And what better place than San Francisco, home of the original Summer of 
 Love? After many meetings and thousands of volunteer hours, the first ever 
 US Loveparade came to San Francisco on October 2, 2004 with 30 floats, 220 
 DJs, and 37,000 revelers dancing in the streets to the sounds of every 
 genre of electronic music. The love returns on Saturday, September 24, 
 2005, with official events also planned for Friday, September 23th and 
 Sunday, September 25th. Mark your calendars now for what promises to be one 
 of the pre-eminent electronic music events in the world.  History:  
 History:  Loveparade is the brainchild of legendary Berlin DJ Dr. Motte, 
 who founded the event in Berlin in 1989. Motte rallied with other cutting 
 edge techno/house groovers to create a "house music demonstration," which 
 evolved into a demonstration FOR something, namely tolerance, respect and 
 understanding among nations. Speeches and pamphlets gave way to the 
 music’s raw and powerful ability to unite. Thousands upon thousands have 
 heeded the call since, filling the streets of Berlin where attendance 
 topped 1.5 million in 2000. Dr. Motte's underlying principle that "music… 
 speaks in thousands of languages and is understood by all" has never been 
 more evident, a truth he saw first-hand while here in San Francisco to help 
 us kick off the first ever Loveparade in the United States.  Using the 
 universal language of music as both cause and expression, LoveParade is 
 world famous not only for its eccentrically dressed revelers dancing 
 alongside floats, but also for its celebration of diversity, promotion of 
 tolerance, and fostering of community. Since 2000, the Loveparade concept 
 has been exported around the world, to Austria, Chile, England, Israel, 
 Mexico, South Africa, and the United States. All Parades share the same 
 motto: to create an international web and platform for electronic dance 
 music, with each city lending its own flavor.  Loveparade has become the 
 annual electronic music mega-event for international followers of the 
 European-bred movement of Techno. As the electronic music movement has 
 diversified and matured, Loveparades have seen the inclusion of many genres 
 under the electronic music umbrella, including house, techno, trance, new 
 school breaks, drum and bass, jungle, and underground hip hop.  \n
