I live in the Heatherlea Condominium Community, not far from Shirlington Village. We are all braced for more of the same DUI, DWI, and massive public intoxication arising from 10,000 or more urban hipsters descending on Shirlington for Springfest and partying until they puke, not only from the alcohol served at the event but from pub crawling until Shirlington's bars close Sunday morning.
We expect the Arlington Police Department will (again) stand around while the yupsters get wasted and then stagger to wherever they parked whatever vehicles they drove to the event and take off for home about 3 times over the limit for DWI.
Which adults are responsible for this event? David Von Storch, CEO of the hipster entertainment corporation that owns Capital Cities Brewery, a major sponsor of Springfest; Don Wood, CEO of Federal Realty Investment Trust, which owns Shirlington Village; Martin Walsh, Managing Partner of the Walsh, Colucci law firm that represents Federal Realty; Douglas Scott, Chief of the Arlington Police Department; and Jay Fisette, Chairman of the Arlington County Board of Supervisors. And the local Democratic Party ward heelers who help the aformentioned inflict these festivals on us and our families.

Jay Fisette, Mary Hynes, and Walter Tejada LOVE these out-of-control festivals. So does Alan Howze.
Alan Howze and Patrick Hope are in a close race to be recognized as Arlington County's 'First Hipster'.
More evidence of the hedonism the ObamaCrats are trying to inflict on America.
Can Cinco de Mayo mayhem be far behind? Ask Walter Tejadas.
Is Jay Fisette planning on retiring? I thought he's been Arlington's unchallenged 'First Hipster' for years.
Arlington Police Department standing around watching drunken revelers at Oktoberfest and Springfest? Not their first priority. First priority is stalking skateboarders, Latinos walking and bicycling home from their $8/hour restaurant jobs, and staking out junior varsity high school soccer games.
Arlington has a totally reactive Cowboy Police Department...that's why.
You forgot taking photos of vehicle license plates in church, school, library and supermarket parking lots and passing the data on to Homeland Security.
Another Friday night, another yupster zoo in Clarendon.
You forgot Paulie Ferguson and Nanny Nancy Hunt, the two biggest boosters of Shirlington redevelopment, who no longer live anywhere close to Shirlington.
You forgot Mary Hynes, who for 5 years ignored complaints from her Clarendon neighbors about the increasing noise and bad behavior by the bar crawlers.
The Fairlington-Shirlington NC Representative is Edward Hilz, another Democrat who is not heard from except when it comes to packing more events into Fairlington and Shirlington, which he's all for doing.
Chief of Arlington Parks and Recreation Department is Jane Rudolph.
Chief Public Information / PR person for Arlington County is Diana Sun.
Get over yourself. How near sighted can you be. Festivals like this have always been part of human nature and culture. Such blind hateful spite of the mostly good people participating in a positive event. Maybe you should ask yourself if "10,000" people can enjoy such an event in our hometown, why can't you?
Event's over, same as in October, fewer attendees. Cops only seemed to care about a fight stating during the event, otherwise could care less how much alcohol the yupsters consumed.
Typical comment posted by a typical hipster a--hole who runs the stop signs in my neighborhood without slowing down after the bars close.
Agree with Barbara...the real drinking was not done by yuptards consuming multiple 4 ounce taster glasses of 8% ale. Real drinking is still going on tonight at Cap City, Copper Wood and other Shirlington bars and restaurants. Cops could give a s--- if they yuptards are driving home blind drunk.
Worst part of Springfest? Obviously-pregnant young women drinking and smoking.
Why do about 5,000 of the 'mostly good' 10,000 who attend have to drive home DUI or DWI?
Event was all about drinking...there was also food available, food was expensive.
Arlington Economic Development wants to build a 'Creative Class'? Creative about WHAT?
Arlington Cops are corrupt right along with the Democratic Regime. Pimps, Hoes, and Drug Dealers got to do their thing right along with the yupster bar flies.
African American Pimps and their White BBW Hoes were setting up 'dates' all over Springfest.
How about a used car fest on South 10th St near George Mason metro campus? Bars and used car lots are Arlington's growth industries.
Great idea, somebody pitch it to American Service Center.
