That's a really bad look, Rutland. You've got a not so good reputation as it is.

... for nearly 50 years. The City of Light and Magic has had its problems, but its image will not be enhanced by the presence of a motorcycle gang with a rep that rivals that of the Hell's Angels. I got a bad feeling about this. A few hundred drunken bikers gathered at the Fairgrounds on Route 7? What could go wrong?
I'm only 25 miles from Rut-vegas. In rural Vermont 25 miles is just a milk run. I hope the Rutland PD has its A-game warmed up. I'm postponing any trips to the Big City until after those clowns are gone. Even if it's just traffic congestion, they're gonna be a pain in the ass.
