I'm not inherently opposed to a street party, but seriously? People can have fun without getting hammered in the middle of the street.
No one is disagreeing that people can have fun without getting hammered in the middle of the street, that's not the point.
This tradition on ezra so to speak is a different vibe. It's something young people get attracted to because they know how many people are going to be there, they know they're part of something special.
Just think about it logically as a 18-23 year old.
Should I get drunk and go out with some friends to a bar or licensed establishment, or to a house party, or should i go to Ezra where 20,000+ students from all over Canada, and the United states come to enjoy life and literally be apart of history.
If someone asks me what i did for St Patricks day: Would i rather say "oh I just went out with friends to a bar, or a house party ya I had fun", or would I rather answer with "Oh, I went to Ezra in Waterloo where 25,000 people all came to celebrate on one street from all across canada and the united states."
Think about it. Also think about what makes a better social media post.
I sure as hell want to go to Ezra have fun with everyone and also show everyone on my social media all the people on one street.
Also, just to let you know, I met a bunch of people that came from California.
How on earth did they hear about Ezra? I have no idea.
To the Region of Waterloo, I suggest you just embrace Ezra, it will not go away, even if you try to entice students to get off Ezra to somewhere else.
It's always going to be Ezra no matter what.
Peace.
