Four brand representatives enthusiasts of the the buzz-worthy hipster malt beverage, Four Loko, threw down a 3 hour DJ set atop of Tallboy Terrace Saturday evening. Best described as “fucking sick,” the party, between frequent shout-outs to “Four Loko,” “Four Loko Party Pack!,” and “Who's Loko?!,” featured music from the movie Lion King and television show “Cops,” a girl wearing a leather jacket and zebra tights double-fisting Pacificos, a couple straight outta Cape Cod, scores of dancing hipsters and one adorably pissed-off puppy:
Of course, the highlight of the party was the sideline dancers:
Inevitably, Local NcMimbydouche called the police to have the fun shut down. Five squad cars and one police van rolled up to Dolores, assembled in attack formation and shut it down.
To the SFPD's credit, they actually seemed quite friendly and reasonable; not giving the DJs a hard time. In the midst of the police “dealing with the situation,” Local McNimbydouche (pictured below) crawled out of his palace of boredom wearing his Yale sweatshirt and sweatpants to walk up to the police and DJs, point some fingers, and generally act like the stereotypical neighborhood asshole who believes he owns the park because he lives across the street.
In short, great party, fuck that dude.

Just another reason for fans of this type of experience in Dolores Park to come to the community meeting this Wednesday, 6:00 at Mission High School cafeteria. http://www.doloresparkworks.org/2010/08/crackdown-deja-vu/
PROTIP: Don’t like noise? Get earplugs, they’re cheap and work really well.

Did you even bother to talk to this guy? Or do you just plan to ruin any possibility of civilized neighbor relations by calling him a douche on your blog? Uptown Almanac (which is neither uptown, nor an almanac) is turning into the San Francisco’s personal passiveaggressivenotes.com.
Can you really blame him, anyway? Of all the events in the park, a 4 Loko branded pissfest is the one I’d be most likely to call the cops about, too. That’s right, I said it, some Fun is more worthy than other Fun. Had this been an actual community event, maybe I’d be more sympathetic, but as it is, I’m really finding it hard to feel bad. What’s that guy going to get out of upholding the right of a (mostly) narrow demographic to be marketed to, loudly, for hours, within earshot of his couch? I’m not saying he’s awesome, I’m just saying, it’s not that hard to understand.
Best comment on the site! Also more articulate than anything our intrepid Bostonian has written in his pages, as he works to shape SF into whatever visions he brought with his broke, loser ass from back east where he was born. Hell, you’ve even written *more* than he can muster in whole groups of posts.
First of all the editor needs to talk to the writer, who should report the facts and get their story right. This random pre-blapfest arranged by an epic up and coming DJ Party Pat with a couple of MCs is no way affiliated with 4 loko and does not at all promote drink of under age kids. This was a day to big up di sun, big up di music and big up di beautiful people of san francisco. “Kevin Montgomery” needs to get his story straight before publishing a story about underage drinking of a nasty beverage and affiliating it with great music (FYI we drink Belgium beers..and the occasional PBR) . don’t get me wrong love the way he portrayed the cops (they were surprisingly respectful of the situation b/c there was no harm being done) and the snitch neighbor but more of these music loving, peaceful, DaY rAvEs will continue to be had at Dolores Park, the last hippie strong hold, big up di truth…
There was no talk of underage drinking in this post at all. You just made that up.
If you are referring to the other post featuring the ‘way gone’ dude (who is clearly not underage), then you guys clearly don’t have a sense of humor. http://uptownalmanac.com/2010/07/guerilla-marketing-campaign-enlists-loc…

What Elly Jonez said. I’ll add, though, that you’re kind of the douche, not the person who gets tired of hours of unpermitted drunken pissfest in front of his house.
And, really, in the end he won. If it wasn’t fair, if it wasn’t just, he probably wouldn’t have prevailed. So fuck you.
