We ran from the SF side to the Marin side as soon as they opened the bridge to pedestrians. It took just a few minutes, probably a little longer than usual, since we had been up all night drinking. Once we got to Marin we turned around to go back to SF, but we’re greeted by a solid wall of people. This was at around 6 am. We didn’t get off the bridge until around 1 pm. The things I remember most are the Slice blimp making low passes at the bridge, and the voice of Carol Channing coming over the PA. She was going on about SF during the war and all of the sailors that were there. It was a little surreal. I’m glad I did it, but would never do anything like that again.

Imagine being in the middle and needing to use the restroom
