I came across this article on kmbc.com earlier tonight, where it seems as though Westport is going to begin “charging for parking.” It says that the price to park will be somewhere between $2 and $5, and this charge will only be enforced on Friday and Saturday nights after 8 p.m. The article goes on to say that the Westport Powers That Be are doing this to cut down on cruising and create a better environment for their patrons. We all know that every summer, Westport charges a kind of hang out or just-to-walk-around-fee, for whatever reason. So does this mean you’re looking at a total of $10 spent before you even get to the bar?
All I know is, you will not catch me in Westport on a Friday or Saturday night this summer, regardless of whether parking is free or not. After an unpleasant situation unfolded a couple of weeks ago after I went to a show there, for some reason I felt like it was a sign of crazier things to come. WE ALL KNOW WESTPORT IS FUCKING CRAZY ON WEEKENDS IN THE SUMMER. Every summer it’s the same shit. I for one, will be trying out different locations like Mint, Seven, the Studio Downtown and maybe the Hangout (the Hangout is usually a good summer spot). I’d also like to check out the roof parties at NV (book DJ SHAD!!!).

Man…here they go. ALWAYS somethin’ haha. I was just about to compliment Westport. The parking is often scarce but there’s, magically, one perfect spot somewhere..and it’s FREE. Oh well. We’ll cope. Good look.
