I just got a call from a friend who said, "you have to come up here and hear this, the Police can't shut it down!".
Quite a few residents complained that this is out of place in a residential nieghborhood, but since they have a permit I guess it's covered under your constitutional right to annoy.

That guy is looking for a bucket of water to get thrown on him.
Call the Chief of Police and ask him why he authorized the permit for this in a residential neighborhood.
