I’m super pissed that there was no rioting at any of the Spring Jam parties that I went to.
Interesting note: While KARE’s report shows two sweet shots of a kid getting shot with a paintball and some kid faceplanting on his bike, FOX9’s report on this also included links to YouTube videos from the rioting.

This is the second weekend that the Zenon Dance company is at the Ritz; you can...
