Musikfest is Over. Resume Sad Life.

Musikfest is over and I feel like crap. It’s part postpartum depression and part “I’m REALLY hung over.”

So, in an effort to encapsulate all the fun that went down this past week, here are some things you may have missed…

• 77 people were arrested during the 10-day festival, the most coming on Friday the 13th when 15 people were cited.

None of them was named Jason Vorhees.

• 48 of the arrests were of people under age 21, most of those for underage drinking. Police arrested 60 adults and 17 juveniles.

• Bethlehem residents accounted for 29 of the 77 alleged lawbreakers, and nine people from outside of the area were cited. Wrongdoers came from New Jersey (five), Pennsylvania (70), California (one) and New York (one).

Freaking Californians.

• 68 percent of arrests involved over-consumption of alcohol.

Is there such a thing as “over consumption?” Cmon.

• One arrest involved a man carrying an accordion.

• No horses or other police officers were assaulted.

Hmmm, I wonder why?

• One person was cited for having marijuana at Riverplatz.

Couldn’t have been during the Sublime concert, could it?

• “Puberty Platz,” better known the rest of the year as Main Street, remained the hub of arrest activity: 60 arrests, or 78 percent, were made on Main Street or at an intersection with Main Street. Source

Another lesson for the kids… don’t get drunk, illegally no less, in the place where there are the most police. 

I’m just sayin.

Ok, off to ring out my liver.
