How Weird Street Faire brings leather, fur and bass to SF streets

It’s 5 p.m. on a Saturday and there are no cars on 2nd Street in San Francisco. But the road isn’t exactly empty, either. A stage is planted squarely over the street’s double yellow lines, framed by stacks of speakers and subwoofers. The surrounding crowd is peppered with colored wigs, bug-eyed glasses, roller blades and cat ears. The DJ transitions from a hard techno track to a harder one, locking in on the four-on-the-floor beat. Two people wearing TVs on their heads dance in the bike lane.

The event draws fur suits, leather daddy caps, animal print fuzzy coats and bucket hats. This year’s How Weird was 1990s-themed, although festival goers interpreted the theme loosely with their costumes, if at all. . Even if the event’s outfits don’t belong to the ‘90s, its undercurrent of optimism does.
