This is completely true. I have also attended my last Block Party. Sorry but crowd �control� was the most ridiculous mess of human beings I have ever had to deal with�a mess!

That's sad. The first block party without heat stroke inducing temperatures and it's too crowded for comfort. Although I guess that makes sense.
