Clearly there were les vendors than, say, 5 years ago, but those that were present were quality vendors. And although I'd GUESS that hotels were at or near capacity, traffic was never an issue.

Thought it was the best Run in my opinion. Not too crazy and crowded and like said earlier good quality vendors present. Rooms were sold out from the info I gathered. I had a great time.

With the Aquarius completely opting out of the run this year I thought it would be worse than is actually was. Honestly, not overly crowded and a much smaller police presence made this a good run in my opinion. Had fun at any rate.

Google is your friend. I found this:
Soft Colors - Term used to describe wearing a M/C Member shirt. It will usually have either a Club Rocker or Club emblem that is to be worn only by patched-in members.

I wasn't there this year but I'm guessing they treated all "colors" the same.

If they banned one they had to ban them all.

Let some in then have to let them all in.

There was a big flak a few years at an Indian casino out this way with some Veteran's M/C.

If you start letting some in and not others you are just asking for a lawsuit.

Right or wrong, that's just the way it is.
