I missed the pet parade, but made it downtown for the afterparty. cute kids with pets in matching costumes EVERYWHERE! cuteness abounds!
also: on my flight back to oakland I got bumped to first class. I have no idea why, but I'm not one to question it. Too bad I couldn't really enjoy it - first class for a two hour flight isn't that exciting. "oooh! my coffee comes in a REAL coffee mug! OMG!"
