For this reason, of knowing that a permit is required but not going about attempting to get one (again), I will not be taking part in this event. I wish you all the best and hope there are no problems.

After looking at the requirements, a special event is designated:

WHAT IS A SPECIAL EVENT?

Any event doing any of the following is considered a special event:

Amplified sound
Selling food, alcohol or merchandise
Selling Tickets
Advertising that it is open to the public
Requiring special set ups of stages, tents, barricades, fences or other items

I don't believe we have any of that, judging from the past meets. As long as our members behave as it was in 2012 and 2013, I'm counting on the event to be a success. My thread last year asking about having the Mega Meet in Treasure Island seemed to have chilled interest in having it held in 2014, and fortunately we had a very successful Sonoma Raceway Megameet instead. I believe we will have an equally, if not better meet for this year's event at Treasure Island, as it is a closer and more accessible venue for the majority of our S2K owners in the Bay Area. Always appreciate your concern

Almost a year ago, ics2ks contacted The City regarding fair use, and got a response (you can see that here.) Included in The City's response:

Quote:

Any gathering on Treasure Island is considered an event.

Also, TogueHorseman brought up some good "what-ifs," and I ran with it and added some color:

Quote:

Getting permits and/or finding a place where we can legally congregate ourselves and our cars is what separates an S2ki meetup from say, sideshows or gonzo pRon.

Now, by posting the event link here, one is already entering a grey area regarding "Advertising that it is open to the public." Add to that, that in this document: Treasure and Yerba Buena Island Special Event Guidelines (from the City of SF Treasure Island Dev. Authority)

Quote:

Special Events are defined as any temporary event or organized gathering, public
or private, occurring on the Islands that are not currently allowed under existing
Authority permits or subleases, including, but are not limited to:

Events sponsored by the City and County of San Francisco.
Events sponsored by other governmental agencies and entities.
Public Events including but not limited to concerts, festivals, athletic events,
art shows and car shows.
Private Events including but not limited to corporate events, weddings and
birthday parties.

One cannot stop a bunch of people from congregating anywhere, and I hate being a wet blanket, but let me say it again:
