Oh, that really sucks; although it sounds like a great plan in theory...I guess there'll always be idiots who enjoy ruining things like this for others. Maybe, if they decide to do something in total darkness (like in a cave, for example) they will just have 'ta find some other way to highlight the scare-actors.
This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know why they serve alcohol at the event? I doubt the people attending are on some sort of extreme liquor-binge or anything like that. Meh, the point of it just goes right past my head...it seems like, by not allowing alcoholic beverages, that there might be a few less drunk d-bags running around.
