Robin Williams (at left), Comedy Day in Sharon Meadow, Golden Gate ParkToday Jon and I walked over to Sharon Meadow in Golden Gate Park to check out Comedy Day, a free, annual event featuring over 20 comics, including Robin Williams. The fog was so dense, it was drizzling for most of the afternoon, but we still laughed and had a good time. It felt like one of those only-in-San Francisco type events, with lots of liberal politics and off the wall humor.
The Sharon Building (SF Landmark #124) was built in 1887 with funds bequeathed to the city by William Sharon, "The King of the Comstock", an important figure in the early history of San Francisco. The Sharon Building together with the Carousel and the adjacent children's playground is the first playground facility built in a public park in the United States. The building is an an example of Victorian Romanesque architecture.
