amber waves of gel...

Photographer Bill Wilson has done it again! Below, please find his exciting work at the Presidio's Memorial Day Services, and President Obama's arrival in San Francisco.

Being all that they can be!

Wait one second. Is that Kimora Lee Simmons or Fiona Ma? I can't tell.

Ugh, those glasses. We get it. You're "young." Enough with the cougar shades.

In all seriousness, what a wonderful San Francisco moment. The bridge, the presidio, the patriotism, the weird hat ladies...

Goddamnit, Cisneros, pay attention! Mike Farrah is talking!

You wanna talk about seeing some action? Rep. Jackie Spears, folks. 22 hours on a tarmac in the jungle after being shot by cult members. I cannot imagine anything more badass.

Growing up as the child of a local politician, the above just looks like every weekend in my childhood. Oh, except that everyone was awake.

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge all of the outfits. We have the Revolutionary War soldiers, present day decked-out officers, Mike Farrah representing Banana Republic and a men's singing group wearing tap dance outfits from 1986.


Moving on to President Barack Obama's arrival at SFO, I have to admit, I love how huge and imposing and totally awesome Air Force One is. Republican, Democrat, christ, even the Green Party. You've got to respect the power of the plane.

This is Barack's ride...

And this is Gavin's. What is that? A bike rack?

Also, what with his commitment to the gay community and all, I'd like to formally suggest the Mayor add rainbow flags to the standard spot right above the headlights.

This whole conversations looks horribly awkward to me and just makes me sad.

I mean, Gavin's the big man on campus, the hot boy in class. All of the girls just love him, the teachers think he's nice, he plays some specific sport really well. And then one day, Zac Efron does a surprise 5-minute concert in the gymnasium and it's like, 'This is what a big deal looks like. Soak it in.'

Everytime I see President Obama, I think of this.

No, it's cool. Seriously. It's fine. I can take my own car. Should I just? I'll...I'll follow you. It's fine. happy to follow you there. I'll just add myself to your motorcade right behind...

...the white van containing the back-up secret service suits.

And finally, because I really do love him and to remind you (and Gavin) that he's just like us, here's the Mayor taking an iPhoto of something awesome. Something tells me, Barack Obama did not bust out his Blackberry and capture a candid of Gavin, but I could be wrong...
