A Good Friday . . . to youCall this an only in San Francisco event. With Easter Sunday this weekend the annual Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Easter Celebration and Hunky Jesus Contest at Dolores Park is approaching.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a perfect San Francisco organization, kabuki-make-up wearing cross dressing “nuns”, throw the most interesting and unique Easter Sunday maybe anywhere in the world. For a little history on the Sisters see (the Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisters_of_Perpetual_Indulgence ).
Easter morning starts with good old fashioned fun the Easter activities for the kids include face painting and an egg hunt at 10:30am. As morning turns to afternoon the activities turn more adult. (This is a warning; the activities in the park are not child friendly when the Band starts playing). This year’s live music will be the B-Cups, Charm-School Dropouts and Ex-Boyfriends perform, an Easter bonnet contest at 1pm, an all-boy burlesque show 2pm and at 3:20p the afternoon is capped off with the Hunky Jesus.
Bring a picnic lunch and stay a while. The day is always fun and interesting; you just don’t know what the Sisters or the Crowd will do. The Sisters use the event to raise funds for community organizations.
A couple places to drop into if you do not bring food. The Dolores Park Café is right across the street. It will be very crowded on Sunday but the food and coffee is very good. Pizzeria Delfina is on 18th , try the Margherita and or four Cheese.
