Golden Gate Bridge Light

A Light-up event at the Golden Gate Bridge.

"A bridge signifies patient stability; therefore, it is sometimes used to represent government or magisterial offices. The bridge may also signify change or the desire for a change" -www.houseofnames.com

Does a bridge symbolize change and government at the same time? Quite ironic based on the fact that we are in an election year. Well I'll leave that up to you, but there is something very interesting that happened at this particular light up. I'll let you try and figure out what I'm talking about!

The Mule at Castro Street Fair San Francisco

The Mule with Mitch Altman!

Yesterday's Castro Street Fair was a total blast. Lots of colorful folks were there to show support for the diversity that makes San Francisco such a wonderful city. There were cake walks by the Diamond Daggers Burlesque troupe, a Sexy Geological Cabaret, lots of Alice in Wonderland insanity, and various other great performances.

One particularly colorful fellow though was Mitch Altman the creator of the TVb-Gone and the Brain Machine (which I am wearing in the picture). Both of these inventions are available in kits or you can find instructions on how to do it yourself.

A special thanks to Max Barnaby and the World of Wonderment for letting me demonstrate the Sonic Lighter in the free vendor zone. I met lots of great people and it seemed like there were plenty of iPhone users who were stricken with amazement at the Sonic Lighters capabilities.

The Mule at Castro Street Fair

I will be at the at the Barnaby's World of Wonderment section of the Castro Street Fair tomorrow (Sunday) in the Sciences tent. If you are around come by and I will give you a light! Hopefully the weather will cooperate. See you there!

Today was a great day! And what better day to end my official stay in SF on? I met the first ever smule user who already had the app on his phone when he met me! In order to show my enthusiasm I am posting a picture of us here! I also saw a few other friendly people I had run into earlier in the week. I would say that Down Town San Fran was a success!
And as usual, feel free to send in a picture or video of an interesting/exciting light of your own!

Wednesday in the City

City Tour for Solar with Investor
Originally uploaded by themulewashere

Hello Everyone. I spent the day in the Financial District of San Francisco. Now that the big Oracle Convention from last week is over it seems things have returned somewhat back to normal. A little bit lighter crowds today. But I did find one very interesting individual pictured here who seemed to like the Sonic Lighter. He is an investor in Solar Energy (similar business to the Sonic Lighter only the energy is measured in Watts instead of Joules) and taught me all about how solar panels work and the process for their production. It seems like solar is a good way to go. There was a stage set up in the Embarcadero Center Plaza demonstrating some of the new solar technology and had some solar panels on display. The City Tour is part of a west coast tour that will be in Seattle and Portland among other cities.

The Mule in SF Financial District

Tuesday the First of October I will once again be in the Financial district of San Francisco on the Smule Tricycle. If you are going to be in the area keep an eye out. The past couple days I have been touring around San Francisco getting people to light up in various famous places such as Lombard Street, Coit Tower, and Fisherman's Warf. If you are going to be in the area shoot me an e-mail and maybe I will be able to give you a light! Alright people keep on passing the flame!
