[UPDATE: Here's the other shot of these two in action.]
You kids might be too young to remember, but the annual Bay to Breakers footrace used to run wild on the streets.
As here, from back in The Aughts.
At this point, race-leader Caroline Rotich (#2) must have been thinking how different things are here compared with Kenya:

Comes now Sam Singer, who gets paid to spread the Party Line about the historic Bay to Breakers Street Party and Fun Run coming up this Sunday:
“Bay to Breakers goes dry with new no-alcohol rules”
Now, wasn’t alcohol banned the year before and the year before and the year before? Yep.
So, the new rules aren’t new at all, are they?
So, in 2010, alcohol was banned. In 2009, alcohol was banned. In 2008, alcohol was banned….
And yet:
Via Jean W – Click to expand
Has anybody ever been arrested at a BtoB for alcohol possession? I don’t know, maybe some mouthy minors have. What I’ve seen myself is the SFPD taking away people’s alcohol or making them pour it out. Oh well.
Leave us not forget the “tipping points,” the years when things went too far in the opinion of the white, aging, home-owning, Prop 8-supporting millionaires and billionaires who get upset every year.
So, in 2008, 2007 was the “tipping point.”
In 2009, 2008 was the tipping point.
In 2010, 2009 was the tipping point.
And in 2011:
“Last year was the tipping point,” said David Perry, who was hired by the city to help publicize the new rules. “Last year was such a mess that organizers, the city and (police) decided we had to change something.”
And you know, for all the talk, there are years where nobody gets arrested at one of the biggest street parties left in the 415.
All right, here’s the new likka sto map from Exercising While Intoxicated:

Now the homeowner’s associations of the Western Addition are pressuring area stores to not open on Sunday morning, to not sell alcohol. The people at the stores where I’ve visited think that’s a laughable idea. (Anyway, I’ll check and see how effective our local Taliban’s anti-alcohol campaign is come Sunday.)
All right, get the latest updates here, at the People for the Preservation of Bay2Breakers.
See you Sunday!

Now, I don’t recommend registering for the annual Bay to Breakers Fun Run and Street Party, cause what you’re pretty much doing is putting money into the pockets of a Colorado billionaire, who, in turn, puts money into the pockets of the anti-gay Yes on Prop 8 campaign.
But that’s how you roll, that’s fine.
But hey, look what they have for you this year – the Zazzle people sponsoring the 100th anniversary are going to monitor you during the race to see how much of your urine gets into a port-a-potty. And if you do well enough, then you’re going to get a garish, lime-green wristband. Hurray!
See?
And, if you’re a straight, millionaire, white, wizened homeowner who moved into the Western Addition thinking it was something else (like Hayes Valley or “NoPA”), well urine luck. Look at this, free neon-pink lawn signs, you know, for your front lawn, the one you mow every Saturday morning along with all your neighbors.*
See how garish and San Mateo County there are? Hurray!
Here’s the email for the signs, but I’ll tell you, the nail that stands up gets hammered down and the duck that quacks gets shot, or something. Anyway, freepottysign@zazzle.com.
All right, enjoy your street party on Sunday!
*Uh, the Western Addition is loaded with bossy old white people these days, sure, but front lawns? Not so much. Perhaps you should visit sometime, Zazzle, when you take a break from making things that nobody needs…
