Freaknik Atlanta 2010??

There has been some SERIOUS buzz going around about Freaknik 2010 in Atlanta. Although the promoters of this event have created a huge following, the facts do no support what they are saying. The promoter’s website promote this event as if it was cleared by the City of Atlanta. As of today, they have not been issued any permits by the city. The mayor of Atlanta, Kasim Reed has gone on the record saying:

“It’s not my intention for the city to be supportive of it,” Reed said.

When asked about a PG version:

“No. And ‘no G’ version.” Reed answered. “I think we have too many challenges in the public safety space to deploy those kind of resources around a program or an event that is not well run or well managed.”

There you have it. Athough the idea of bringing back such an iconic event back to life is fantastic, it will not become a reality without going through the proper channels. If you are interested in finding out more about this event check out the promoter’s website.

    WE DO NOT NEED THE MAYORS SUPPORT FOR THE OFFICIAL FREAKNIC 2010 BECAUSE WE ARE NOT HAVING EVENTS AT PUBLIC PARKS- ALL OF OUR EVENTS ARE AT PRIVATE VENUES… HOWEVER, YOU (LAW ABIDING CITIZENS) HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE COOKOUTS AT PUBLIC PARKS.

    PARK PERMITS ARE NECESSARY IF YOU ARE HAVING EVENTS IN PUBLIC SPACE- HOWEVER, SINCE WE ARE NOT MANAGING OR ORGANIZING ANY EVENTS IN PUBLIC SPACE… WE DO NOT NEED PARK PERMITS.

    WE CANNOT ANSWER EVERY BLOG IN AMERICA…
