Default Hula Hoop Rave

I do believe that there are some things that can only be seen in a few places. The thing, in this case, is a hula hoop rave. The place is San Francisco. I was on my way to my car (which was about 50 feet from this scene), and had to stop and shoot. I'm actually not sure what this event was called, but they were serious about their hula-ing....or hooping...or both.
