Actually, it more than sucks. its really kind of disturbing. Maybe the town was tolerant until the bikers started arriving or something....

The bikers have been there for years, in fact, the saloon where the mooning tradition started is a bikers/locals bar. So I think that it is more about the influx of non-biker folks mixing with the bikers that gets authorities concerned. Also, the bar is located next to a small industrial park with a lot of single businesses, single offices, or warehouse type of enterprises. Maybe some of the owners of the other businesses got a little unnerved by the volume of people, or the nudity, or the drunkenness.... In any case, the web site seems to indicate that the 2009 event is still scheduled - so I'm going to try and check it out that day. I'll take my camera and post some pics if it happens and I get there.
