BlendParticipantI would like a West Seattle Blog chip implanted in my head that tweets, twits, posts, blogs, faxes, emails, scans, copys, rants, raves, and does my taxes. Someday my dream will become a reality.

blackpointwoodyMemberwe played “name that tune” at 45th & brandon, even sang along a bit…
glad it’s only one weekend a year – and really glad the fest usually comes along with sunshine and warmth

miwsParticipantI would like for myself, and others, to get transponders and LED’s implanted in our foreheads, so when we run across another WSB’er that we haven’t met face to face yet, the LED’s start flashing, and we can introduce ourselves to each other!

HolyKowMemberI love it when posters like Thee complain when people put up those pesky LAWS that keep getting in their way. And they call us NANNIES for wanting to abide by the LAWS that are in the region.
So inconvenient, those LAWS when they tell you you cannot do something that you want to do, isn’t it Thee.
Try Somalia, they have few to no laws, and you do not have to pay taxes either! Win/Win!

JoBParticipantHolyKow..
get a grip on your sanctimonious self.
An exemption to noise laws is made for public events.. and Summerfest is an event.
How on earth do you think that night sporting events and concerts and plays and fairs and other events that go on past 10 PM manage to occur?
If you lived near the Seattle Center you would hear music played into the night on a regular basis.
You didn’t choose to live next door to a public venue… but you did choose to live close to the Junction… and Summerfest is an annual event that likely preceded you.
Suck it up dude… or dude-et
and yes.. to answer the question posed on another thread.. i am a little crankier than usual.

ErikParticipantI loved the music, it was a great way to let loose after a day of working in the booth next to the fetus worshippers.
Next year Ima gonna give out Chupy fetuses!

BlendParticipanthahahahahahahaha HA..I am definatly PRO CHUPY. But yes..let’s organize that for next year. I’m IN !!!

Michael WaldoParticipantAs someone who worked in a retail store by the north stage, I believe loud, heavy metal bands are inappropriate for such tight quarters.If you were not a fan of heavy metal, you were out of luck as I was bombarded for hours by it. I had a hard time even talking to customers. Live music is the best, heavy metal at a family festival not so much.

JimmyGMember1/2 a mile south of the Junction and loved hearing the music.
Hells Belles were especially good. We sat out on our deck each night, had a glass of wine and enjoyed the festival from afar.

hoffanimalParticipantThis is a city. Stuff goes on here, stuff that is fun can get loud on rare occasions. If stuff didn’t go on this would be a boring place to live. Next.

HolyKowMemberHey, like I said, I personally have no issues with the whole noise thing. However, I feel that these people with their ‘Nanny State’ excuse of an approach to laws they do not like are hypocritical and unreasonable.
If they like the law, it is OK.
If they do not, all of a sudden, laws are like buffet items that you can just ignore if you do not like them. And when people that support the law say so, all of a sudden the age old practice of name calling and worse come into play as they have no real response to the issue other than to cry, whine and complain and degrade the person that is citing the actual rules regarding the issue…
Examples of popular Nanny State items that people complain about because they cannot legally do them, but wanna real real bad:
No Smoking just about anywhere but you home
Leash Laws
Fireworks Laws
Transfat Limit Laws
No unattended animals on the sidewalks
If you do not like the “Nanny Laws”, move to someplace that you would rather be because they allow whatever behavior you are not allowed to do here. Please.
If you live next to Seattle Center, you know what you are getting into, no excuses. However in a dense residential area, not a significantly commercial area like Seattle Center, I think that there is room for the noise ordinance in the argument.
I do not live ‘near the junction’. I am over a mile an a half from the stage and could hear them like they were in my back yard. Again, I do not care, but it is not about me.
It is about the community and there have to be rules.
Would anyone really explode if the last big band came on at 9P and played till 10P? Really? World stops spinning and throws us all into space?!
nope…

BlendParticipanthuh? I think people are just typing to type. Sometimes it’s ok to just read a post and not reply. Step away from the send post button…oh no..I’m gonna click it..ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

anonymeParticipantHolyKow has posted the most reasonable and respectful opinions in this thread, only to be attacked and called names for it. I read nothing sanctimonius at all in the views expressed by HK, except for the fact that he/she dared to disagree with a holier-than-thou-kow.
Do we really want a community where those that make the most noise, call the nastiest names, and shout down any dissenting opinion are the ones that win? Do we really want a society where everyone decides individually which laws they feel obligated to obey and which ones they don’t?
Just because we live in an urban environment does not mean that unlimited noise and chaos must be the accepted rule. Moderation never killed anyone, and I’m disturbed by the trend toward extremes in everything. What makes cities vital is the mix — not the mob.

theeParticipantthis isn’t nam, dude. there are rules!

BlendParticipantYES! hahaha

JoBParticipantit’s a festival…
that features music
and you don’t even have to pay admission…
what’s to bitch about?
sound carries.
some nights.. far further than a mile and a half.
but it’s still only one weekend a year
July 14, 2010 at 1:14 am #698850
anonymeParticipantOne weekend for Summerfest.
Three weeks for Independence Day.
A week of Blue Angels. At least they’re daytime only.
New Year’s Eve (week)
Everybody in the neighborhood who thinks if they only have ONE big drunken all night party per year, it’s their right.
The point is that there is a constant stream of “just one night, or two, or a weekend” events ALL YEAR LONG. The exceptions have become the rule, and that ain’t right. Anyone who suffers an extreme physical or emotional reaction because the music ended at 10 instead of 11:30 is truly the one who needs to “chill”.
July 14, 2010 at 1:45 am #698851
JanSParticipantanonyme…3 weeks for Independence Day? That’s one heck of a celebration. But it’s a bit of a stretch, doncha think? It’s quiet here…Admiral District – unless you count the delivery trucks at Safeway as “excessive noise” – lol…
July 14, 2010 at 1:57 am #698852
austinMemberohno there are people living around us ALL YEAR LONG!
July 14, 2010 at 2:08 am #698853
CountingCoupMemberWe are lucky enough to have our own fair to bring in some good NW bands to provide entertainment all the while our local businesses and artists get a chance to market their products and food to pull people away from the beach once a year and it becomes a rant?
Wow, maybe you would rather live in a quiet urban block in Timbuktu where the culture begins and ends with a strip mall and movie theater…

johnnyblegsMemberThat dang bell at Holy Rosary needs to stop that racket too! I like to take a nap in the middle of the afternoon and that church bell music four blocks away disrupts my slumber. My neighbor also talks to much to his cat and I can hear the chatter through my bedroom window. The rain sometimes wakes me up at 2am! The Insanity!
July 14, 2010 at 2:16 am #698855
JoBParticipantnow if only someone could silence all those screaming children
July 14, 2010 at 2:29 am #698856
JulieMemberI haven’t read a response yet to the suggestion, made a couple of times, now, that the music could be turned down a little after 10:00 pm. So…what about that? How far would the music have to be turned down, and how early, before some of you would no longer enjoy it?
On the other hand, would more people enjoy it more if it were even louder, and even later? If so, how loud would be too loud? How late would be too late?
July 14, 2010 at 3:11 am #698857
TammiWSMemberSeriously, just get over it. The b**tching on this site about this is ridiculous. So over the rants about this…And yes, I’ll quit reading before you tell me to.
