PSA:
I've now heard from 3 people whose opinion I really trust that undercover police will be out in force at Comfest in Goodale Park this year.
You all might want to be careful.

huh. i can't wait to hear who they go after. are they trying to raise money by writing tickets for misdemeanor possession? because it's a confined area, so they won't be writing tickets for open container, can they force you to open your cooler?
so what, exactly, are they trying to enforce? I'm being serious. i really don't get it. what can an undercover cop do? are there really people cruising through comfest with felonious amounts of weed on them? underage drinking?

as a side note, i do get the feeling that a lot of these notices are more a favor from comfest to its regulars to be warned that things won't be the way they used to be; they don't want their lifelong attenders getting arrested.

isn't the whole draw of comfest that it's a free zone?

Maybe we need a new comfest... with blackjack... and hookers...I know this house in German Village... ;)
Last year they posted the no BYOB, this year they post the no free zone. Comfest started on city streets with no promises other than the possibility of a good time. I think they just need to post a more blunt sign. "If you are have no common sense, tact or courtesy, than comfest is not for you."

Snarf, unless he knows the same people I've heard from (unlikely) then there will be "more enforcement." To what level, who knows. Will there be more presence IN the park to take care of the situations that need to be "taken care of", let's hope so! Check you later underage troublemakers!! No one's gonna know until we get down there, but I don't want to be made an example of if CPD is cracking down - I'm just gonna feel out the situation first before committing to full on Comfest mode :)
And good point earlier, don't eat the baked goods from strangers!!

This reminds me of the episode of It's Always Sunny where they try to make the bar a Free Zone and it turns into a place where the dredges of society hang out.. aka the Oboyle's. Give people too much freedom and they abuse it and it all goes to shit.

What is a free zone? I looked it up on Wikipedia, but none of the definitions seem to fit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_ZoneI'm not trying to be funny. I have no idea what they mean by "free zone."
Does it mean there is an admission fee? This article says it's free.
Does it mean that I'm not free to do illegal things? Wouldn't that go without saying?
Does it mean normally guaranteed freedoms by the US Constitution are completely suspended in Goodale Park? That seems unlikely.
What is a free zone? Since I'm completely ignorant, I can only assume it has to do with drugs.
