It's that time of year again, time for the FIRST CHURCH of the LAST LAUGH'S one and only hole-y day, the ST. STUPID'S DAY PARADE.
This year's 28th annual parade follows the weekend route, starting at the POINTY BUILDING (transamerica pyramid) at NOON and heading up COLUMBUS AVE to WASHINGTON SQ PARK for a
staged event with heretical music, discount dogma, a faith based 2 minute talent show
and the traditional FREE LUNCH!
The public is encouraged to join this unique San Fransisco tradition with their own music, noise makers, costumes and silly buisness to honor
St Stupid, patron saint of civilizations and parking meters.
SPONSOR: FIRST CHURCH OF THE LAST LAUGH
TIME: Saturday april 1st NOON
PLACE: POINTY BLDG (TRANS AM BLDG) TO WASHINGTON SQ PARK- NORTH

We'd have to be stupid not to go with only a 20% chance of showers!
if it rains...we parade anyway...but no wahington sq park stage event, too muddy. If it don't rain...we parade anyway and go one block futher to joe dimaggio/ north beach playground for the stage event and 2 minute talent show. We also pass by the scientologists hq at start of parade....we need to pay homage to them, oh yes we do.
