Sign of the Apocalypse

San Francisco Examiner headline: Beer, nudity banned in Bay to Breakers race
 
Like banishing beads and masks from Mardi Gras or removing the red carpet and gold statues from the Academy Awards, the banning of floats, beer and nudity at this year's Bay to Breakers will take all the fun out of it, many longtime revelers say.
 
HDNet did a show on this a while back, titled "The Sickest Traveling Party in the World".  On May 17th, I'll be wearing a black armband in mourning.
