The yearly tradition of holding a Pro legalization rally in Pacifica and inviting the stoniest bands was a musical success if not a political one.
 Peninsula Rappers & DJs FATSO held court with a thick set that ended with a call to all rappers in a freestyle contest onstage. 
 Opiate Void played through a boomin set until the cops decided that the peaceful meadow was being shaken too much for their tin ears. 
After the final Void note was sounded, the boys in blue approached the stage to try and shut the show down.
 Always cool & in control, the event organizer KEVIN from FREELOAD was able to convince them that  there was nothing 
going on except a concert that was supported by local residents, illustrated by the large amount of families with children that 
turned-out to hear the sounds in the park.  After a tense standoff where one officer felt that a concertgoer moving behind him 
was getting lined-up to hit him with some kind of non-existent weapon, the show was allowed to continue.
 Freeload’s set was strong & long, encompassing their many originals  a few Public Enemy & Sublime covers...
 Ending the day was Ice-9.  Buy this time, I was three magic-brownies and several joints under & started to pack it in.
The whole event was a huge success for the bands involved. A good day for music & Spark in the Park.
