I have lived 20 years in the Bay Area and 13 in San Francisco, all of them as a leftist, without seeing a performance of the San Francisco Mime Troupe. Until today! We went to Dolores Park to see their Labor Day performance, and enjoyed a packed lunch, the always-gorgeous weather of these three square blocks, and the view of the city, along with the play. A couple of hummingbirds were hovering and perching in the tree closest to us, and a dragonfly kept circling in the area, looking about the same size as the hummingbirds. Our blanket even got a visit from a beautiful butterfly.
The play was sardonic and funny, taking on–among other things–the upside-down idea, promoted by numerous “news” sources like Fox, that San Francisco’s problems stem from overly progressive leadership.
In addition to finally experiencing this institution of rabble-rousing art, being there was a great opportunity for reading (before the show) and drawing.
