California City, CA! Bravo! Such a delightful fake name! Complete bullshit of course, no such place exists.

Right up there with Texas City, Texas.
And, were the Houston Texans to move there, they could be the Texas Texans!
Oh hell, they could move the Texas Texans Stadium to 123 Texas Avenue, Texas City, TX.
Okay, I'll read the article now.

If this wasteland weekend is not jam-packed with gay sex, they're completely missing an opportunity.

I went last year, it LOOKED awesome as everyone was in costume and the cars were impressive, but there was not really much to do but drink once you had a look around.
People were pretty nice, but it was a handled like a hotel convention with pretty much the same rules.
Nerf guns were not even allowed.

Technically, Nerf guns are *allowed*, they just can't be loaded or fired. Knowing that, in any group of people, there's always a small percentage of dickheads who think it's funny to surreptitiously shoot unsuspecting people who haven't consented, I agree with this rule.
And, I have my ticket for this year's WW and I CANNOT WAIT.
