Sorry, just trying to put a bit of silver lining in your cloud. If you want 365 boring days a year with little or no excitement, no tides, and beaches only where you put sand next to out mudhole reserviors; Move to Kansas. Sounds like this isn't a public sanctioned event and is sponsered by a radio station. Maybe a petition before your city's government would be a start....or run for mayor with an anti-festival platform. My brother lives in Alvin....it is quiet there too:-)
Oh yeah, thanks for your "chin up". I know I'm coming off as a yapping poodle on this. Just nipping at everyone's ankles until I'm kicked away.
But this is the time to YIP YIP away, while it's still fresh, before everybody on the island drinks the kool aid again and hopes for a hurricane to blow it away.
Galveston is a very racially and ethnically mixed island. We are an old Southern port and we love it just because it is so mixed and friendly. So to run on an anti-beach party campaign just gives everybody a headache.
What I need from the rest of you guys is what is being posted: your comments, views, what another town did, etc. Thanks alot.
