I guess it is official, I am indeed an old fogey. Today I went to visit my favorite watering hole in the Haight section of San Francisco. As I was walking from the bus stop to the pub I noticed several people dressed as Star Wars troopers. Out of 7 that I saw 2 were wearing black utilikilts. Unfortunately I was not expecting anything of interest and so didn't bother to bring my camera.
When I asked what was going on I was told it was "May the fourth be with you day". This is the first I have heard of this "holiday". When did it begin?
I know SF has many "unusual" holidays throughout the year but this was a new one for me. I guess it's as they say, you live and learn.
