Huh? It might be called Love Evolution now but it's still basically the same thing, and i'm pretty sure they're trying to bring it back.

From Dyloots Bayraves sig:
10/02 - San Francisco @ Bill Graham Civic, LE AFTER PARTY

I'm sure they will. They have a 2010 Facebook page.

But, according to Bill Graham's website, the auditorium will be closed starting March 31. Maybe they'll reopen by then.

Bill Graham's website has said that for a few years now. I think maybe since 2008. Or 2007.

As far as i know LovEvolution (new title blows) was as succesful as ever.. especially because they started charging $10 >. I havn't heard anything about it stopping, i'm not sure why it would since its been a tradition in SF for so long.

just to clear the air, the lovevolution event is entirely tentative from year to year. the organizers continue to plan for and push this event every year, but nothing is guaranteed. there is a painstaking process of securing all the city and county permits before anything logistical can even be talked about. there is no reason to believe it's not happening this year, but that is not to say some prick in the political behemoth can't up and decide to stop it from happening down the line. that's why it's important that people don't break glass, od, vandalize, fight or cause any problems because all it takes is one headline to fuck this all up. that $10 btw goes to paying for the six-figure permits, insurance, police and emt overtime, security, event staff, clean up, and the rest goes to non-profit organizations that benefit the community.

i hope it does, it is always a great way to celebrate my birthday every year and always one of my favorite party weekends of the year. so much fun!

i hope it happens again this year, i thought the last one was alot of fun.

as for the ten bucks, i think that is a very very fair price for the festival, it was def worth it.

If you're "concerned" about it not happening this year because you haven't heard anything, then you're shitting your pants too early. In years past, they haven't even so much as said a date until at least April or May. Patience.

I'm excited either way. Its the closest to a party in europe in america imo. one of the best parties of the year.

love parade is the german event, don't think SF can use that name(or lovefest) anymore, thus my "no"

as for lovevolution, as stated above, it is year to year and from the trend that the city of SF has been taking with nightlife i will let you make a conjecture.

hopefully LE happens again, but until the organizers throw out the teaser fliers we won't know.

i can see SF saying it is not safe, saw what too many drugged out people passed out last year.

bring the drug dogs, and at least you can try to avoid use on the premises.

WTF?

I think it has grown too big with too many kids running around; I can choose to not go for my own reasons.

But bringing 'drug dogs' and 'avoiding use on the premises'...I hope you're joking.

I for one like how it has grown. Love Parade is known for its massive size. But they can also get it through having amazing floats. San Fran, though not having as many big names like other Love Parade esque events around the world, has been getting a large following - especially last year. I hope the city continues to support it and it expands to more than just the area it is in now.

Asked/Confirmed with Syd Gris last night. It's happening. October 2nd.

Satisfied?
