Now this is hilarious
Haha! Oh, God, people are such assholes.
A distraught bride, Hindu worshipers and some Pacific Heights dwellers are furious at a plan to cover Fillmore Street in snow to celebrate Olympic gold medalist Jonny Moseley's 30th birthday in about a week.
Yep. But the quotes are great.
"What the hell are you guys thinking?" said Bruce Miller, who lives in the area and, like most of the neighbors, just found out about the Aug. 27 event recently. "The arrogance of this organization is outrageous. This whole thing is unacceptable."
Sorry. Apparently it's acceptable, since it seems to be going ahead.
"I'm a very detail-oriented person," said [ball-and-chainer Laurie Beijen], 30, a nonprofit communications consultant. "I checked the dates for the Grand Prix, the Union Street Fair and the marathon. Who'd have thought you'd have to check for a snow jump competition? In August? It's just ridiculous.
It raises the question: If their marriage had been in December, would they have checked for a snow jump competition?
"When I turned 30, we went to a bar in the Mission. We didn't close any streets. We didn't create a public nuisance," Beijen said.
[Sales director Erik Gordon] said that Icer could have done a better job with public relations, but overall the event planning is going smoothly. "We've got a few people, probably on the senior side, who are frustrated, but we expected that to happen."
Spoken like a true fan: Who cares what old people think?
