This Sunday, the kind-of-famed Venice walls will be repainted in an effort to preserve the historicesque site. Special graffiti crews were invited. And, get this, you can’t paint on the walls unless you have a permit.

Let’s see how long that lasts.

Oh, and this Sunday, in another surprising turn, disc jockeys will be playing records of the hip-hop and reggae persuasion. Why can’t you just bump some industrious Micro House on a beach day?

These sillyheads are trying to curb graffiti problems in the area by making a big deal out of graffiti. Kind of perplexed. Well, they have a website, so they must be legit. Speaking of hip-hop, isn’t having a safe, fun, family graf party like listening to Nelly duets?

Here’s some lists:
