I arrived bright and early to Golden Gate Park to catch the Great Gorilla Run (http://www.greatgorillarun.org) , which is a fundraiser for Gorilla habitat conservation. Participants paid $100, got a Gorilla suit, and ran a 7K race. Upon reaching the park, I saw a car with "ELGOOG" on the license place. Dunno if they're from google, but it's still cool.
Worker unloading cases of gorilla suits. I like the fact that there's a banana box in the truck too.
"Hey babe, is that a gorilla head in your hand?"
Even commando gorillas need to lock up their rides.
I think some participants were going to a pool party.
I like the guy's t-shirt.
I'm not sure if this is a coven of Enochian Gorillas, or just folks with white ribbons.
Oh yeah, give it up to the camera, baby.
Manga come to life.
Be sure to save the albino gorillas.
And, of course, there's no escape from the guyrilla with the guitar. "oh god no, not another folk song about vegetarianism"
"so I was like, give me a call, and he was like, all 'ook ook', and I was like so send me a picture, and he was all like sending me this, and like I was like so shocked when he ..."
A 1-AGS
And strangely enough, the Onion booth was the most sane and ordinary thing that was there.
The Gorrilution will be televised.
Even Paris Hilton skipped out of jail to join the fun.
Please stop looking at me.
I can see into your soul.
Even the little ones got into the act.
I'm late. I'm late for a very important date.
We even had some PennDOT workers make the trip out.
Pretending to be a nun can be Habit-forming.
Elvis *is* alive, He has lost weight, and brought bikini gorilla babes with Him.
I think this is my favorite of the bunch.
Is that a gorilla head on your head, or are you glad to see... ,er, never mind.
Imagine receiving CPR, looking down at massive gorilla arms pumping your rib cage.
I don't know who this is, but I approve of the t-shirt.
To be the gorilla, you must Bee the gorilla.
This wasn't a googler (I tracked them down to ask), but still mighty colorful.
While the gorillas were fun, the photographers were a lot of fun to watch too. I don't mind pointing cameras at photographers, since they're already invading someone else's space.
Some of the photographers were hairier than others.
I got you!
No! I got you!
I can has gorillapicture?
Waiting for the race to start.
eeeeehn!!!
We had a fair number of flashers.
My lens is bigger than yours.
I think I see something over there.
I make poopies.
This woman was abosultely brilliant, using the camera in her Macbook to film things for her podcast.
Hmmm, me have device.
THIS THING NOT WORK! DAMN NOISY ISO 1600!
ok there it all work. ook.
"uh, point that thing somewhere else, sir"
The banana-babe was the leader of the race.
The gorillas in the mist, waiting for the race organizer to appear.
The chase car, making sure folks don't pass out or start flinging poo.
She obviously has lived in SanFrancisco for a long time, completely unphased by the mass of gorillas.
"I can't beleive I took 500 shots of people in gorilla suits"
"Hi, I'm very glad t see you"
And they're off! And the race starts too!
Vikings and mexican wrestlers.
The occasional Hot Mama.
Here is micro-chimp along for the ride.
The Uberbucks Gorrestas managed to get some time off. I figure since there are more StarBuck's locations than human beings on the planet, they need to start hiring some of the indigenous life-forms.
This one was doing the hula.
ARRRRRRRRR
The revolutionaries moseyed more than actually running.
And finally, the colorful non-googly brigade.
