What is the DEAL with the PB Block Party?
Sorry if that came out a bit Jerry-esque, but a man leaves town for five days and things all go to hell. I've tried to pin down whether this oh-so-detailed article regarding the 2006 PB Block Party or Street Fair or whatever is still happening. It claims it was voted down, but I don't know whether that makes it definitely off or not. The seemingly Official Site says it was last updated on the 22nd, which is after that article, and it lists several bands scheduled to perform including Skelpin, The Coyote Problem and Billy Watson. I tried to email various involved parties, but haven't heard back yet. Anyone know what the deal is? Because if the hot dog eating contest that is also mentioned on the offical web page is cancelled, I think it is safe to say that nobody in San Diego wins.

It's official, the PB Block Party is off until further notice. We can all look forward to an alcohol-free "Family Friendly" "Street Fair" should it ever return....

Hmmm...I'm not so sure it is "Final." It looks like "The cityâs special events department is expected to decide this week if it will approve the permit for the proposed April 22 date."
But the PB Town Council which "consists mainly of older long-term residents, said past council president Jim Moore" has voted to oppose the permit. Unless that means that the Special Event's department is just to rubberstamp that and revoke the permit, I guess it is still up in the air.
The article is confusing. Too many organizations with Pacific Beach in their name. I would be curious to hear from local merchants though, if any are reading, to hear about this quote:
