…only this time, he’ll be carrying a torch.
“A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make an indelible statement for human rights” — naked!
“We are inviting you and your nude friends to join us,” says the invite, sent to us by former mayoral candidate George Davis, who points out that the “original Olympic Athletes participated nude.”
He also points out that the original Olympic athletes covered themselves with olive oil, and that he “will bring Baby Oil for those who wish the look.”
For more information about what to wear, where to meet, etc, read on:
“Meet: :12:30 pm sharp, near the front of Tacqueria Pancho Villa, Pier 1, the Embarcadero (waterfront side), the next building north of the Ferry Building. Look for torch(es) labeled “Human Rights”
“After the Official Run passes (estimate 1:10 pm), we will jog/walk fast to Bay/Embarcadero. When the Official Torch Run returns from the Marina District, we will follow the Official Run to the closing ceremony at Justin Herman Plaza. I estimate the total distance at a little over one mile.”
Optional: Make a faux-torch, or two, labeled “Human Rights.” If you don’t have one, don’t worry. I am happy to relay a torch to you. Note: Don’t bother with a real flame because of Fire Marshall and permit issues.
