Shall we spit into the wind? Wonder if any Houston/Galveston folk'll join up?

What the heck happened on this ride. Whose brilliant idea was it to ride through the 6th St. entertainment district at 2 am, just as the bars were closing. I understand it was mass chaos. This was supposed to be a leisurely fun ride. But apparently it turned into a Critical Mass ride.

I've got small children so I didn't make it, but ATXBS had a a brief write up with pictures here: http://atxbs.com/?q=node/396

There was also a fuller account here: http://brianmcgloin.wordpress.com/2008/09/14/moonlight-cruze-austin/

I went, had a good time. 99+% of the people were great and there to have a good time..there were 2 I noticed who weren't and wanted trouble. Tons of people, thought the route was just fine. I especially enjoyed the ride back down Lamar with just my buddy. Only one other car on the road in the 5+ miles.

A cop once told me that at 2 am there are only 2 types of people on the road; potential victims and potential inmates. Sounds like there were plenty of both.
