(San Francisco, USA) – Not long ago we announced some changes to the San Fransico LoveFest such as the name being changed to LovEvolution for 2009. There are a few other changes that were instituted that we were made aware of recently.
They are now currently charging a small fee of 10$ for admittance to the event this year. There are a number of reasons but the main reason is that the festival has grown so large they needed to expand and relocate and with increasing city fees the admittance charge is necessary.
Since this is a non-profit event, 10$ isn’t really too much to ask. Especially when there will be an abundance of floats filled with supreme talent. The line-ups and floats have been announced. Check out the list of floats below, along with their themes and the names of the artists scheduled to perform.

Evolved Radio’s participations in previous San Francisco Love Parade events:
The very first event for Love Parade event took place in San Francisco in 2004. Evolved.FM (back then known as XTC Radio) crew drove a float for the parade. It was setup and decorated with several LP records on a 25′ flat-bed truck that had been donated to us by a local music store. We had also rented a large sound system and connected it with two Pioneer CDJ1000 CD players and a pair of Technics 1200’s. Accompanied by several DJ’s including Rez, Voytek, and James Lauer. The mixing started from 11 AM until they shut it down that night and it turned out to be a great experience.
In 2005 Evolved worked with DJ’s James Lauer and Tim Heit (Relentless Beats.com) on a full semi truck trailer. The sound system was flown in from Arizona. It was a lot of fun. It was very hectic as well. There was a lot of work to be one as far as cleaning up at the end of the night. It was all worth it though to get people feeling the music on a beautiful day in the Civic Center and amazing at dusk.
Here is a short video of James Lauer mixing in the first track of his set at the 2005 event at the civic center.
