Tonight's Critical Mass kicks off the Memorial Day weekend. How so? Well, according to SF Appeal, they posted this "suggested route map" for tonight's ride. Said map directs riders to start off at Justin Herman Plaza, into the bowels of the Marina, and end at Ocean Beach where one will find a "memorial OM" (?) for the BP oil spill.

The map asks riders to bring "wood and beer." Which? Oops. What with lubricating booze being illegal at Ocean Beach, Greg Dewar worries Critical Massers "get a pass "just because" or what?" Because if there's one thing CM types like more than screaming at passersby and eschewing the fine art of bathing, it's beer. Lots of it. However, according to San Francisco beach bonfire policies, beer, hooch, glass containers, and amplified music are verboten at Ocean Beach. But, look at it this way, if LDS Youth Group Jesus parties can have fun under similar circumstances, so can you. Hopefully.
