Didn't you see the documentary Footloose?
I didn't, but a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend is in it.
I'm pretty sure that's true of like half of Americans. The only unusual part would be knowing who the friends are.
So, of course, the only way that could be constitutional is if they banned absolutely all celebrations.
Sounds like a fun place.
Huntington Beach is deceptively fun. I wouldn't want to live in OC for a number of reasons but I like spending time there
Orange country is a weird place. It's snack dab in the middle of Southern California but it's really wealthy with a lot of retired ex military. The power base has always skewed conservative but the area itself is fairly diverse
Absolutely nothing will come of this. This is just some shitheel politician trying to serve up some red meat to the maga demographic
Sounds like it's time to relocate the folsom street fair to huntington beach for a couple years, turned up to 11. Really gay up the place as much as possible. Give out pepper spray infused with glitter, hand out rainbow-colored double ended stallion dildos, fuck rough in the streets with collars, cuffs, leashes, harnesses, whips and chains, the whole nine yards - with everyone participating. Fuck for justice, people.
Just have to watch the city council members closely, to see who pops a chub as they hide in the bushes with binoculars. Naughty, naughty boys.
stallion dildos
My proposed slogan: "Give Huntington Beach a Chance"
You're now our promotion manager
Pepper spray often has a UV reactive ink that makes it possible to identify someone who got sprayed
Glitter could serve the same purpose, as that shit stays around indefinitely
Bring Seattle's Solstice Parade down for a traveling show along with it. That's how you do a proper celebration!
The Florida of California strikes again
Who mentioned Bakersfield?
Am energy company I used to work for had a facility there, it was not what I expected when they said I was heading to california
The central valley is just essentially a massive chip in its own shoulder. Awful place
Only people who live there are ghouls smdh
Sounds on brand for Huntington Beach. That place has always existed in the center of the reality distortion field.
Once you see how many fight videos posted online take place at/around Main and Walnut in Huntington Beach you'll never be able to unsee it. It's prime soccer mom/executive dad rich douchebag meltdown territory, on top of being near a bunch of bars.
