Pacific Beach Raft Party

It was a year ago today that an incident in Pacific Beach basically brought the issue of drinking on the beach to an end For years people were allowed to drink on the beach and as a result, P.B. was the place to be for the 4th of July, or Labor Day, or just about any other day. However, several months after the infamous Labor Day Riot the city voted on a booze ban and ever since, the beach has been a much quieter place. The SDSU students and the twenty somethings have to go to the bars on Garnet or a house party before heading down to the sand. A few people have protested the ban, but right now it looks like the ban will likely stay.

So what is person to do if they want to go have a few drinks while they're at the beach? Well, buy a raft, of course! It seems a group of hold-outs are still trying to keep the dream alive in PB, so to make up for the booze ban and the fact that the PB Block party is long gone, they've started PB Raft parties.

If you get a chance, read the "Details" box for the specifics of the laws and how they suggest not getting busted. It's very funny.
