I'm not 100% sure if it was that same year or not, but I know a bunch of homeboys from Salinas were out there around that time for Hot August Nights and ended up startin or being envolved in a big ass riot. After I heard about that, I pretty much lost interest in ever going out there for the event.
I aint tryin to drive 4-5 hours, spend hella cash on rooms, gas, food, drugs, etc.....just to get there and deal wit a bunch of foolz lookin to start shit. Shit, I can do that here in Salinas for free!
