| (05-16-2010; 11:18 PDT) SAN FRANCISCO [Golden Gate Park Mile 5] -- The 99th Bay to Breakers brought new rules, including float restriction west of Traverse/Arguello in Golden Gate Park, $250 fee for float entry, strict alcohol enforcement, and 11 a.m. shutdown of amplified music on JFK drive in the Park. There were no live bands on JFK as in previous years. The media focus was on elite runners breaking records, evidence that Bay to Breakers has become a serious race. Partying was fairly tame on JFK Drive in the Inner Richmond area. This video shows some of the partying, with serious comments by rollerblader and sound system aficionado David Miles after he was shut down and moved to his regular Sunday location on 6th Avenue, where he bellows music weekly to skaters. During B2B on JFK across from 6th Avenue, DJs from SanFranPsycho were briefly shutdown, but defied the order for several hours. The party apparently stayed at Alamo Square, Nopa, and the Panhandle, so the revelers never reached JFK Drive. Supervisor Mirkarimi is perturbed about the carnage in his district. |
