First off, I'd just like to note that I worked security at last years TF downtown party and had the pleasure of helping kids (both with and without badges) get in an out of the jumping -castle. And, they way those kids were acting in there, I think you'd be right to worry about how things would escalate if alchohol was involved.
<br><br>With that said, I should also mention that I am very excited to announce that Lleyton Hewitt has earned a sixth place seeding at Wibledon this year after winning the Queen's Cup on Sunday. It should also be noted that Nadal retired from play after going 6-3, 3-6 w/Hewitt in the Quarter Finals. He says that he was starting to feel pain in his shoulder and dropped out as a precaution, but that he's ready to rock at Wimbeldon.
<br><br>Should be a fun tourney. I think we can expect to see a Quarter Final match-up between Hewitt and Federer. There's no telling how Nadal will do. <br><br>Cheers,<br>Larson<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/21/06,

Gabe Rench stated to the City Council that last year's Trinity Festival was<br>a public festival and that his "security" (of which he was the supervisor)<br>had no reason to prevent people from being there.<br><br>
He (Gabe Rench) simply passed information on to the City Council that he<br>heard for his "security". He further stated that the complaints could not<br>be totally reliable since he was not physically there to observe them.
<br><br>All of this information was presented by Gabe Rench, the festival security<br>supervisor who was not there to observe (first hand) his "security" on the<br>job (according to his own testimony to the city council on Monday
<br>6/19/2006).<br><br>So, what we have here is a non-accountable security supervisor presenting<br>information about inappropriate decisions having been made last year by his<br>"security" that he did not supervise first hand.

<br><br>that was less than honest when trying to convince the city to allow a beer<br>and wine garden in Friendship Square (which is a PARK), that the attendees<br>did not wear "badges" to the dance/party held during last year's Trinity
<br>Fest...but if you look at the photos that they have on their own web site,<br>it clearly shows the dancers, attendees, musicians, even kids wearing them<br>during the festivities on Main Street.<br><br>The problem with the badges was that several people of the community NOT
<br>associated with this "festival" were not allowed into their homes at the<br>Moscow Hotel or into the businesses on Main Street because they did not have<br><br>badges. Gabe flatly denied anyone had badges and that to his knowledge, no
<br>one was denied access to the area for ANY reason.<br><br>Is this going to happen again at this year's fest? Is there some reason<br>this thing couldn't be held at the East Side Park rather then in a major<br>area of the CBD, where businesses have to close for 5 hours, peak hours, of
