2008 Olympic San Francisco Torch Run – ServePath was there!

Views: 1,109 Events, General, News, ServePath, photos No Comments »

Being a San Francisco-based Internet Hosting Provider sometimes really has its excitement. Today was no different. Originally, the 2008 Olympic Torch run was scheduled to go right past the ServePath offices in downtown San Francisco, and we were there to greet them, at least we thought we were.

We parked ourselves above the torch route in front of the Palomino (a local restaurant in our building) with a different message, not pro-China nor pro-Tibet, just simply pro-hosting (sorry, I know that was bad). Unfortunately, because of the huge amount of protestors and a few scuffles that took place, the torch run route changed and we were left without the action passing under our noses.

Earlier in the day, I snapped some other photos of various protestors around our area.

As I’m blogging this, the excitement continues elsewhere in the City. Isn’t San Francisco wonderful?!
