For map, please go to:

For details, please visit:
http://www.folsomstreetfair.com/alley/

[ Note: TBL doesn't find the Alley web-page very useful.
For example, he wants to know the dollar amount of the suggested donation --
but doesn't see that info on the page. ..... ]

[ TBL says:
Dore Alley should be clothing-optional;
as in recent years.
However, after being harassed by SF cops
at SF Pride 2006,
TBL hesitates to make predictions
about the behavior of SF police. ]

............

[ SUN says:

This Sunday, July 30, isn't a good day to visit Baker Beach;
unless you time your visit very carefully --
because marathon footrace
(a serious event, unlike B2B)
will disrupt traffic on GG Bridge and elsewhere.

Spend July 30 at Dore Alley instead! ]
