Bay To Breakers–What’s the Deelio?

bay-to-breakers-2009SF Schtuff loves Bay to Breakers,  but we’re having trouble painting the picture of what the mobile party will look like this year.  From the ING Bay to Breakers website, some of the new rules:

  • Shared enforcement of city ordinances regarding alcohol. Anyone publicly drinking alcohol or displaying public drunkenness on or along the racecourse will be subject to fines and prosecution. Race organizers will coordinate with the San Francisco Police Department to proactively remove kegs and glass bottles of alcohol from the racecourse.
  • Wheeled objects and floats will be permitted on the course, with new provisions for safety. Participants with wheeled objects and floats must be registered to participate. Wheeled objects and floats must enter the race at the starting line in designated corrals outlined below. Wheeled objects and floats cannot be motorized or taller than 9 feet; and may not be used to transport or store alcohol. Float owners are directed to act responsibly toward the environment and other participants, and to dispose of their floats in dumpsters provided along the course and at the Finish Line.
  • Leave no trace. Help us keep the city clean by placing your garbage and recycling in one of the many dumpsters placed along the course.

There have been hearings to ban illicit behavior, pissing in public, trash dumping and more, but the real questions are… Can we drink?  Do you think we should drink?  Do you like the chaos?  What are you going to dress up as this year?  Tell us your thoughts here!
