Almost Infamous

Heh!

Too bad Leah Garchik was a bad, bad girl and didn't fact check her column first, not like she's doing major journalism or anything, but still... She would have learned that I bent over backwards for the band for two years before denying them entrance to the parade last year, after they were repeatedly disruptive, rude and inconsiderate, and creating havoc with the contingents near them. I suffered the complaints from volunteers and registered groups in the parade, alike, for almost three years before taking a stand.

And then, to have them either falsely register for the Parade, or not register at all knowing full well why they were not in the Parade is irksum. Bastards. Hey Leah, did you know I CALLED them a month before the parade to ask the Stanford Pride contingent if they were the Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band? And did you know I was told by the contact person for the contingent that they were absolutely not the band?

Nah, I didn't think so. Any way, we can't tell if I'm the cold hard-hearted person that they're referring to, or our Safety monitors, who actually started to block them and get them off the route before I arrived up there to deal with the Band.
